Google Sign In in Front App

We Are trying to implement a Plugin using the Google Sign Button. The problem is however that the sign does not work because Google is trying to open a new window. That of course doesn't work in the plug-in within the Front app. 

 

Hence, my question is if anyone else has built such an integration and how did they manage to integrate Google sign in within the Front app plugin?

@jason’s code sample works because of this specific line that sets partitioned cookies as recommended by our article on Replacing third-party cookies in Front plugins.
This is the recommended solution because it is completely transparent for the end-user.

Alternatively, your plugin can use the Storage Access API to ask the user permission to use third-party cookies.

Ok this was wild but I got it now: The problem was with security of local vs prod and the including __Secure- prefix. I am setting an env in prod now like so:

 

const productionPrefix = process.env.AUTH_REQUIREMENT === "PRODUCTION" ? "__Secure-" : "";

And then my cookies like so:

 

cookies: {

sessionToken: {

name: `${productionPrefix}next-auth.session-token`,

options: cookieOptions,

},

…

}

 

This finally got it to work in both prod as well as local. 

 

It should be alright security wise I guess since it is all server side.
