Create a table in the Database

 
Open SQL Server Management Studio, create a database named "Demotest," and in this database, create a table. Give that table a name like "sociallogin".
  1. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Socaillogin](    
  2.     [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,    
  3.     [Name] [varchar](50) NULL,    
  4.     [Email] [varchar](50) NULL,

  8.  CONSTRAINT [PK_Socaillogin] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED     
  9. (    
  10.     [Id] ASC    
  11. )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]    
  12. ) ON [PRIMARY]    
  13. GO     

Create a Web API Project

 
Open Visual Studio and create a new project.
 
 
Change the name as LoginApplication
 
 
Select Web API as its template.
 
 
Right-click the Models folder from Solution Explorer and go to Add >> New Item >> data.
 
 
Click on the "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" option and click "Add". 
 
  
Select the EF Designer from the database and click the "Next" button.
 
 
Add the connection properties and select database name on the next page and click OK.
 
 
Check the Table checkbox. The internal options will be selected by default. Now, click the "Finish" button.
 
 
Our data model is created successfully now. 
 
Now, Right-click on the model folder and add two classes -Userdetails and Response. Now, paste the following code in these classes.
 
Userdetails class
  1. public class Userdetails    
  2.     {    
  3.         public int Id { get; set; }    
  4.         public string Name { get; set; }    
  5.         public string Email { get; set; }    
  6.         public string ProviderName { get; set; }    
  7.         public string Image { get; set; }    
  8.         public string Token { get; set; }    
  9.     }    
Response Class
  1. public class Response        
  2.    {        
  3.        public string Status { set; get; }        
  4.        public string Message { set; get; }        
  5.    }       
Right-click on the Controllers folder and add a new controller. Name it as "Login controller" and add the following namespace.
  1. using LoginWithSocialMedio.Models;    
Create a method in this controller to save data. Add the following code in this controller.
  1. using System;    
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;    
  3. using System.Linq;    
  4. using System.Net;    
  5. using System.Net.Http;    
  6. using System.Web.Http;    
  7. using LoginWithSocialMedio.Models;    
  8.     
  9. namespace LoginWithSocialMedio.Controllers    
  10. {    
  11.     [RoutePrefix("Api/Login")]    
  12.     public class LoginController : ApiController    
  13.     {    
  14.         [Route("SocialmediaData")]    
  15.         [HttpPost]    
  16.         public object SocialmediaData(Userdetails user)    
  17.         {    
  18.             try    
  19.             {    
  20.                 DemoTestEntities DB = new DemoTestEntities();    
  21.                 Socaillogin Social = new Socaillogin();    
  22.                 if (Social.Id == 0)    
  23.                 {    
  24.                     Social.Name = user.Name;    
  25.                     Social.Email = user.Email;    
  26.                     Social.ProviderName = user.ProviderName;    
  27.                     Social.Image = user.Image;    
  28.                     Social.Token = user.Token;    
  29.                     var res = DB.Socaillogins.Add(Social);    
  30.                     DB.SaveChanges();    
  31.                     return res;    
  32.                 }    
  33.             }    
  34.             catch (Exception)    
  35.             {    
  36.                 throw;    
  37.             }    
  38.             return new Response    
  39.             { Status = "Error", Message = "Data." };    
  40.         }    
  41.     }    
  42. }     
Now, let's enable Cors. Go to Tools, open NuGet Package Manager, search for Cors and install the Microsoft.Asp.Net.WebApi.Cors package. Open Webapiconfig.cs, and add the following lines.
  1. EnableCorsAttribute cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");    
  2. config.EnableCors(cors);   
Now to go Visual Studio code and run the project
 
 
Click on 'login with google' button
 
 
Enter e-mail and password 
 
 
 
Now if login is successful then it redirects to the dashboard page
