I'm trying to integrate with my NodeJS api developed in typescript with google Oauth2 through passport, but following the documentation that is in javascript, I have an underlined error in GoogleStrategy

This expression is not constructable.
  Type 'typeof import("/home/mypc/networking_api/node_modules/@types/passport-google-oauth20/index")' has no construct signatures.

import GoogleStrategy from 'passport-google-oauth20';
import passport from 'passport';

passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET ,
    callbackURL: "/auth/google/callback"
  },
  function({accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb}: any) {

}
));

Also, because it is typescript, in the accessToken, refreshToken and etc variables, I would need to put a type and so I put "any". Would it be correct?

CodePudding user response：

Try it like this:

import {Strategy as GoogleStrategy } from 'passport-google-oauth20';


passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET ,
    callbackURL: "/auth/google/callback"
  },
  function({accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb}: any) {

}
));

To not use any define a interface.

Update:

To create enviroments variables do like so:

1. create a .env file in your root project folder
2. npm i dotenv
3. create enviroments variables in the .env file

clientId=1234
clientSecret=mysupersecret

Add following to your code:

import * as dotenv from 'dotenv' 
dotenv.config() 

now you can access the env variables with:

process.env.clientId
