Can amplify-authenticator render hosted UI for federated logins? about amplify-ui HOT 5 CLOSED

@foragerr If you're using User Pools then you may better served by a custom "Login with Google" button and calling Auth.federatedSignIn({ provider: "Google"}):

https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/authentication#oauth-and-hosted-ui

Currently, our <amplify-authenticator> supports Identity Pools' configuration, but we're actively investigating supporting both User Pools & Identity Pools without breaking backwards compatibility.

I'm going to update the labels for this accordingly as a feature request so we don't lose track!

Or perhaps I'm looking for an angular equivalent of this: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/authentication#google-sample-in-react

Hey @foragerr, to get more context, which angular library are you using? aws-amplify-angular or @aws-amplify/ui-angular?

This would have been a courteous statement to make in the docs. I've been hunting docs, code and been confounded for days now. I'm glad to have found this clear statement on the matter.

A couple improvements resolve this issue for our @next release:

1. Social providers use Cognito User Pools by default (via Auth.federatedSignIn), since this is the default social configuration from Admin UI & the CLI.

   
   – https://ui.docs.amplify.aws/ui/components/authenticator?platform=react#loginmechanisms

2. Zero-config support from #626 will make <Authenticator> automatically show the correct login mechanisms (including Google, in your case) without any additional configuration.
