How to use

Instruction for testing out KivyAuth for Desktop:

• pip install kivyauth
• Make Sure you’ve created OAuth apps and have their CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET handy before running demo application

Note(for android):

Make sure you go through the prerequisites
for the login methods you’re going to integrate in your application before moving further

The example below shows integrating google login. Similarly other login methods can also be used.

• Include necessary imports for google login

from kivyauth.google_auth import initialize_google, login_google, logout_google

• Initialize google login inside your app’s build method

def build(self):
  initialize_google(self.after_login, self.error_listener)

after_login is a function to be called upon successful login with name, email, and photo url of the user. So, create a success listener function which accepts three parameters and perform after-login stuffs(like updating UI, etc.). error_listener is called in case of any error and it doesn’t accept any argument.

• You can also add auto-login( if the user is already logged in then directly move to after-login stuff) inside app’s on_start method as below(mention only login providers you are using in your app):

def on_start(self):

    if auto_login(login_providers.google):
        self.current_provider = login_providers.google
    elif auto_login(login_providers.facebook):
        self.current_provider = login_providers.facebook
    elif auto_login(login_providers.github):
        self.current_provider = login_providers.github
    elif auto_login(login_providers.twitter):
        self.current_provider = login_providers.twitter

• Next, call login_google() upon a button click to initiate login process.

• Similarly, to logout, call logout_google as

logout_google(self.after_logout)

after_logout is a function to be called after user gets logged out. For example, to update UI.

• Make sure to include kivyauth as a requirement in the buildozer.spec file

requirements = python3,kivy,kivyauth

• See demo for reference.
