Description

In this symfony api project, I explained how to authenticate users with their Google accounts.

Symfony application using Google OAuth for authentication. When a user signs in through Google, our system will check if the user already exists in our database. If not, it will create a new user account. Once authenticated, either as a new or existing user, our application will generate a JSON Web Token (JWT). Built on the API Platform.
