Hey there,
what could any help look like?
Please provide us:
- some code (that doesn’t work)
- the material you’ve read/watched
You are talking about passport.js.
Did you read the docs of passport?
What has happened when you followed the instructions in the documentation??

this is my passport.js file
const GoogleStratergy = require('passport-google-oauth20').Strategy
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const User = require('../../models/User')
module.exports = function(passport){
passport.use(new GoogleStratergy({
clientID:process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret:process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL:'/auth/google/callback'
},async (accessToken,refreshToken,profile,done)=>{
const newUser = {
googleId:profile.id,
displayName:profile.displayName,
firstName:profile.name.givenName,
lastName:profile.name.familyName,
image:profile.photos[0].value
}
try{
let user = await User.findOne({googleId:profile.id})
if(user){
done(null,user)
}
else{
user = await User.create(newUser)
done(null,user)
}
}
catch{
console.log(err)
}
}))
passport.serializeUser((user, done)=>{
done(null, user.id);
});
passport.deserializeUser((id, done)=>{
User.findById(id,(err, user)=>{
done(err, user);
});
});
}
