I have spent some time figuring this out. It is not well documented so I wrote this article. https://medium.com/@maartendebaecke2/mern-stack-implementing-sign-in-with-google-made-easy-9bfdfe00d21c

It shows you how you can use passport.js and the passport-google-oauth2 strategy to register a user, start a session and save that user in your database. It also contains some code for a styled "sign in with Google" button.
