pub struct Google { /* private fields */ }

Implementations

impl Google

pub fn new(appid: String, app_secret: String, callback_url: String) -> Google

Creates a new instance of the Google authorization client.

Arguments

• appid - The client ID provided by Google when registering the application.
• app_secret - The client secret provided by Google when registering the application.
• callback_url - The URL that the user will be redirected to after authorization is complete. This URL should be an endpoint in the application that will handle the authorization code.

Returns

• Google - A new instance of the Google authorization client.

pub fn get_redirect_url(&self) -> String

Generates a URL that the user should be redirected to in order to authorize this application. This URL is the standard authorization URL for the OAuth2 flow with the Google OAuth2 provider, and includes the scopes required to fetch the user’s profile information.

pub async fn get_userinfo( &self, code: String, ) -> Result<UserInfo, Box<dyn Error>>

Fetches and returns the user’s profile information from Google using the provided authorization code.

This function exchanges the provided authorization code for an access token and then uses that token to request the user’s profile information from Google’s userinfo endpoint. The user’s information is returned as a UserInfo struct.

Arguments

• code - A String representing the authorization code received from Google’s OAuth2 authorization flow.

Returns

• Result<UserInfo, Box<dyn Error>> - On success, returns Ok(UserInfo) containing the user’s profile information. On failure, returns Err with an error describing what went wrong.

Errors

This function can return an error if the authorization code exchange fails, if the request to fetch the user’s profile information fails, or if parsing the response into a UserInfo struct fails.
