Integrate JWT token for credential response

[philippedasilva-orizone]

Hey,

I thought we could all benefit from getting a decrypted jwt token in the CredentialResponse type instead of the actual string returned by Google on successfully logging the user.

I know it would probably add a dependency but I believe we, end users of the component, would anyway still have to add it.

My own implementation uses the universal-base64Url package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/universal-base64url):

      const base64Url = jwt.split('.')[1];
      const base64 = base64Url.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/');
      const jsonPayload = decodeURIComponent(
        window
          .atob(base64)
          .split('')
          .map(function (c) {
            return '%' + ('00' + c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16)).slice(-2);
          })
          .join('')
      );
      const decodedToken = JSON.parse(jsonPayload);
      console.log(decodedToken);

Ideally, I would actually get the CredentialResponse with a typed "credential" so I can directly benefit from my IDE intellisense with a decodedToken.email or decodedToken.family_name...

Any reason not to do it?

We thought to keep this as possibly closer to the underlying google library. But your point is quite valid. Lot of people ask how to use it.

I thought of two ways

• Adding this to another library(vite now supposed to support multiple library entry points, so we can make it something like import {decodeToken} from 'vue3-google-signin/utils')
• Adding a FAQ and using your example there as a guide

Vite upstream PR vitejs/vite#7047

@philippedasilva-orizone can you create an issue for this? we can track progress there. Once Vite stabilize API we will expose it.

I actually wanted to export some methods provided by the plugin to its own namespaces like vue3-google-signin/oauth2 etc first place. Hope your method can be part of the ``vue3-google-signin/util`

Shouldn't we just convert that discussion topic into an issue / feature request ? Not that I don't want to but during the week, I have less time to spend on my hobby projects :p

Converted to issue #28

Lets continue discussion there
