The main advantages of Google login are the user can login to the web application with their existing Google account without register on the website.

Before you begin to integrate Login with Google in CodeIgniter, check below steps

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database','email','session');
$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'file');

Step 2: Google API PHP Client Library (application/third_party/)

public function __construct()
{
	parent::__construct();
	require_once APPPATH.'third_party/src/Google_Client.php';
	require_once APPPATH.'third_party/src/contrib/Google_Oauth2Service.php';
}

Step 3: Google Account button on click and redirect controller function like (google_login())

public function google_login()
{
	$clientId = ''; //Google client ID
	$clientSecret = ''; //Google client secret
	$redirectURL = base_url() . 'Login/google_login/';

	//Call Google API
	$gClient = new Google_Client();
	$gClient->setApplicationName('Login');
	$gClient->setClientId($clientId);
	$gClient->setClientSecret($clientSecret);
	$gClient->setRedirectUri($redirectURL);
	$google_oauthV2 = new Google_Oauth2Service($gClient);

	if(isset($_GET['code']))
	{
		$gClient->authenticate($_GET['code']);
		$_SESSION['token'] = $gClient->getAccessToken();
		header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirectURL, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
	}

	if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) 
	{
		$gClient->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
	}

	if ($gClient->getAccessToken()) {
		$userProfile = $google_oauthV2->userinfo->get();
		echo "<pre>";
		print_r($userProfile);
		die;
	} 
	else 
	{
		$url = $gClient->createAuthUrl();
		header("Location: $url");
		exit;
	}
}
