Hi, I need help with implementing the Tauri Plugin OAuth. Currently, I am trying to enable Google login. The OAuth functionality works on the web version of my app, but now I want to implement it in my Tauri app. I am new to Tauri and currently unfamiliar with Rust, so I am feeling confused and lost. So far, I have completed the following steps:

  1. in Cargo.toml
tauri-plugin-oauth = { git = "https://github.com/FabianLars/tauri-plugin-oauth", branch = "main" }
  1. in main.rs
#![cfg_attr(
    all(not(debug_assertions), target_os = "windows"),
    windows_subsystem = "windows"
)]

use tauri::{command, Window};
use tauri_plugin_oauth::start;

#[command]
async fn start_server(window: Window) -> Result<u16, String> {
    start(move |url| {
        // Because of the unprotected localhost port, you must verify the URL here.
        // Preferebly send back only the token, or nothing at all if you can handle everything else in Rust.
        let _ = window.emit("redirect_uri", url);
    })
    .map_err(|err| err.to_string())
}

fn main() {
    let sys_tray = build_system_tray();
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_store::Builder::default().build())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_oauth::init())
        .system_tray(sys_tray)
        .setup(|app| {
            let window = app.get_window("main").unwrap();
            app.global_shortcut_manager()
                .register(SHORTCUT_SHOW_HIDE, move || {
                    show_hide_window(&window);
                })
                .unwrap();
        Ok(())
        })
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![open_settings,start_server])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .unwrap();
}
  1. In my Tauri app, I have created a functional button that can successfully redirect the user to the web for Google login. I am unsure how to implement the functionality that allows the user to return to my app and complete the login process.

thank you!

Soooo, first of the all, the plugin was primarily created for flows that use the user's default browser for logging in (because i hate it when i can't do that as a user myself 🙃)

#

anyway, where you're now emitting the redirect_uri event you now have to instruct tauri to redirect to https://tauri.localhost/ (windows) or tauri://localhost/ (linux/macos). While holding on to the token until the page is done loading. -> For that last part you may have to do an extra event roundtrip so that the frontend can tell you that it's ready or something

#

or i guess adding the token into the url could work too idk (may be insecure though?)
