Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

No response

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Support kakao OAuth (including signIn with idToken)
  • Kakao OAuth documentation

Describe alternatives you've considered

Generic OAuth can be used instead. However, genericOAuth does not currently support idToken

Additional context

What is the kakao?

Kakao is an application used by the entire population of South Korea. Many platforms developed in Korea include Kakao Social Login.

OAuth documentation

Kakao Login Docs (ENG)
Kakao OAuth guide in supabase


If there are no mentions, I'll create a PR for kakao OAuth support sometime this month.
