How can I get the user to sign up or login using their Google account?

TL;DR
The user wants to know how to use a Google account to sign in. The thread includes some code snippets and questions about project IDs and API keys. The solution is to set up Google as an OAuth provider in the appwrite project and then use the provided link for login/signup.

You'll need to setup Google as an OAuth provider in your appwrite project. After it's set up, use https://appwrite.io/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountCreateOAuth2Session for login/signup

TypeScript
client
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
;

const promise = account.create('[USER_ID]', 'email@example.com', '');
