googleAuth_jsUI replacement

[didllicek]

Hi,

more than an issue report I would like to ask if there will be (or maybe already is, but I just can not see it) any replacement for googleAuth_jsUI in version 2.0.0. We used this function for authentification at our R&D webpage https://rnd.logio.cz/ and I don't see any way how could I do something like this in new version.

Thank you for your advice :)

There isn't any planned but if you need it I can put it back in for 2.1. But can you pin your version at 1.4.1? That way it will always work as you expected.

I didn't include it as more modern alternatives like firebase (R package) exist now that may be preferable.

The current API is also going to be sunset, with advice to move to https://developers.google.com/identity/oauth2/web

Thank you for the warning. I got some alert mail also from google. Do I understand correctly that after one year it will not work as expected anymore? :(
I tried to change googleAuthR library for Firebase, but the application is registered in the Google developer console and I need restricted access only for people within the organization, which I really do not know how to do with Firebase. Do you think it's possible to use Firebase like this? or any other package?
I'm a very junior programmer and it was quite difficult for me to find a working solution thanks to your library, so I'm a little bit worried. :(

Yes I got the same email, but I think it will be a small change to update the JS library to the new one - its happened at least once in the past before. So long as I (or someone via a pull request) updates it before 2023 then it should be ok. I have noted it in this issue to make sure its covered in the next release.

Thank you very much! :) I'll let you know if I figure out meantime how to change for Firebase or some other library.

Hello @MarkEdmondson1234 ,

I am the main developer of our company R&D webpage which my colleague inquired about with respect to the googleAuth_jsUI in your library. As she mentioned, your library provides a combination of unique functionalities, and we would therefore like to keep using it in our implementation.

I am writing to ask if you are still planning to include the function in the new library version before 03/2023 when, according to the notifications we keep getting, it would stop working?

Thank you so much :)
