Why use SimpleSocialAuthLib?

• Simplicity: Offers a clean and intuitive API for social authentication.
• Flexibility: Supports multiple social providers with a consistent interface.
• Type Safety: Utilizes Python type hints for better code quality and IDE support.
• Extensibility: Easily add new social providers by extending the base classes.

Supported Social Providers

• Google
• GitHub

Installation

Install SimpleSocialAuthLib:

# using pip
pip install simplesocialauthlib

# using pdm
pdm add simplesocialauthlib

# using uv
uv add simplesocialauthlib

Configuration

Before using SimpleSocialAuthLib, you need to set up your social provider credentials. Here's how to configure for Google and GitHub:

Google

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
2. Create a new project or select an existing one.
3. Enable the Google+ API.
4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (client ID and client secret).
5. Set up the authorized redirect URIs.

GitHub

1. Go to your GitHub Developer Settings.
2. Click on "New OAuth App".
3. Fill in the application details, including the callback URL.
4. Once created, you'll get a client ID and can generate a client secret.

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use SimpleSocialAuthLib with Google authentication:

from simplesocialauthlib.providers.google import GoogleSocialAuth

# Initialize the Google auth provider
google_auth = GoogleSocialAuth(
    client_id="your_google_client_id",
    client_secret="your_google_client_secret",
    redirect_uri="your_redirect_uri"
)

# After receiving the code from Google's OAuth redirect
code = "received_authorization_code"

# Complete the sign-in process
user_data = google_auth.sign_in(code=code)

# Use the user data as needed
print(f"Welcome, {user_data['full_name']}!")

Returned Data Structure and OAuth URLs

Google

OAuth URL:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?redirect_uri={{ GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI }}&prompt=consent&response_type=code&client_id={{ GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID }}&scope=openid%20email%20profile&access_type=offline

User Data Structure:

class GoogleUserData(TypedDict):
    first_name: str
    last_name: str
    full_name: str
    email: str
    email_verified: bool
    picture: str | None

GitHub

OAuth URL:

https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize/?client_id={{ GITHUB_CLIENT_ID }}

User Data Structure:

class GithubUserData(TypedDict):
    username: str
    full_name: str
    email: str
    picture: str | None
    bio: str | None
    location: str | None

Full Example

Here's a full example using Flask to implement social login with both Google and GitHub:

# app.py

import os
import logging

from flask import Flask, request, redirect, flash, render_template
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from simplesocialauthlib.providers.google import GoogleSocialAuth
from simplesocialauthlib.providers.github import GithubSocialAuth

load_dotenv()
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = os.environ["SECRET_KEY"]


@app.route("/login")
def login():
    return render_template(
        "login.html",
        GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
        GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=os.environ["GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI"],
        GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=os.environ["GITHUB_CLIENT_ID"],
    )


@app.route("/login/google")
def sign_in_with_google():
    code = request.args.get("code")
    if not code:
        return redirect("/login")

    try:
        google_auth = GoogleSocialAuth(
            client_id=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
            client_secret=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
            redirect_uri=os.environ["GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI"]
        )
        user_data = google_auth.sign_in(code=code)
        # Process user_data (e.g., create/update user in your database)
        flash("You are now signed in with Google.", category="success")
        return redirect("/")
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(e)
        flash("Something went wrong. Please try again.", category="danger")
        return redirect("/login")


@app.route("/login/github")
def sign_in_with_github():
    code = request.args.get("code")
    if not code:
        return redirect("/login")

    try:
        github_auth = GithubSocialAuth(
            client_id=os.environ["GITHUB_CLIENT_ID"],
            client_secret=os.environ["GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET"]
        )
        user_data = github_auth.sign_in(code=code)
        # Process user_data (e.g., create/update user in your database)
        flash("You are now signed in with Github.", category="success")
        return redirect("/")
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(e)
        flash("Something went wrong. Please try again.", category="danger")
        return redirect("/login")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
