Setting up log in with Google feature

Oct 30 • Help

I'm working on my fullstack todo app right now and this is what I have so far: https://github.com/mhayakawa1/fullstack-todo

For the login feature, I want to allow users to log in with their Google account. I set up a client ID on Google Cloud, but haven't been able to set up the log in feature yet. I tried over a dozen tutorials, but every time I install dependencies and set up the boilerplate code, it ends up being incompatible with the app.

The tech constraints for the project say to use Node.js + Express or Fastify with TypeScript for the backend and SQLite or Postgres for the database.

For anyone that has been able to implement this feature before, how did you do it?
