Rails API-Only Social Login

This is another piece of code I've extrapolated from a Ruby on Rails project I'm currently working on. The code implmenets social login with a RoR API-based application, targeted at API clients.

The setup does not involve any browser-redirects or sessions as you would have to use working with Omniauth. Instead, what it does is takes an access_token generated on client-side SDKs, retireves user info from the access token and creates a new user and Identity in the database.

This setup works with native applications as described in the Google iOS Sign In Docs (see Authenticating with a backend server)

Rails ajax comparison (fetch, Rails.ajax, axios, @rails/request.js, Turbo)

I wrote this gist because I felt that the Rails documentation was lacking a description of ajax requests.

📌 Options for ajax request

There are various ways to send ajax requests in Rails.

1. Browser default Fetch API
2. Rails.ajax (No Official docs and request for docs)
3. http client like axios
4. @rails/request.js 👈 I'm using this one now !
