Common Workflows

# Add Google OAuth
devark add google-oauth

# Or use the interactive selector
devark add oauth
The module will scaffold all necessary files for OAuth authentication including:
  • Route handlers
  • Environment variable templates
  • Configuration files

​
Next Steps

After adding a module:
  1. Check the generated files in your project
  2. Update environment variables (usually in .env)
  3. Review the module-specific configuration
  4. Test the functionality
Most modules require additional configuration like API keys or database connection strings. Check your .env file or generated documentation for required values.
