TypeScript typings for Google Drive API v2

The Google Drive API allows clients to access resources from Google Drive. For detailed description please check documentation.

Installing

Install typings for Google Drive API:

npm install @types/gapi.client.drive-v2 --save-dev

Usage

You need to initialize Google API client in your code:

gapi.load('client', () => {
  // now we can use gapi.client
  // ...
});

Then load api client wrapper:

gapi.client.load(
  'https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/drive/v2/rest',
  () => {
    // now we can use:
    // gapi.client.drive
  }
);

// Deprecated, use discovery document URL, see https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/reference.md#----gapiclientloadname----version----callback--
gapi.client.load('drive', 'v2', () => {
  // now we can use:
  // gapi.client.drive
});

Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources:

// declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console
var client_id = '',
  scope = [
    // See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',

    // See, create, and delete its own configuration data in your Google Drive
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata',

    // View your Google Drive apps
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.apps.readonly',

    // See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',

    // See and download your Google Drive files that were created or edited by Google Meet.
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.meet.readonly',

    // View and manage metadata of files in your Google Drive
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata',

    // See information about your Google Drive files
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly',

    // View the photos, videos and albums in your Google Photos
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.photos.readonly',

    // See and download all your Google Drive files
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly',

    // Modify your Google Apps Script scripts' behavior
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.scripts',
  ],
  immediate = true;
// ...

gapi.auth.authorize(
  {client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate},
  authResult => {
    if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
      /* handle successful authorization */
    } else {
      /* handle authorization error */
    }
  }
);

await gapi.client.drive.drives.delete({ driveId: "driveId",  });

*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.get({ driveId: "driveId",  });

*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.insert({ requestId: "requestId",  });

/*

*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.generateIds({  });

/*
 Gets a file's metadata or content by ID. If you provide the URL parameter `alt=media`, then the response includes the file contents in the response body. Downloading content with `alt=media` only works if the file is stored in Drive. To download Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides use [`files.export`](/drive/api/reference/rest/v2/files/export) instead. For more information, see [Download & export files](/drive/api/guides/manage-downloads).
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.get({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
 Inserts a new file. This method supports an */upload* URI and accepts uploaded media with the following characteristics: - *Maximum file size:* 5,120 GB - *Accepted Media MIME types:*`*/*` Note: Specify a valid MIME type, rather than the literal `*/*` value. The literal `*/*` is only used to indicate that any valid MIME type can be uploaded. For more information on uploading files, see [Upload file data](/drive/api/guides/manage-uploads). Apps creating shortcuts with `files.insert` must specify the MIME type `application/vnd.google-apps.shortcut`. Apps should specify a file extension in the `title` property when inserting files with the API. For example, an operation to insert a JPEG file should specify something like `"title": "cat.jpg"` in the metadata. Subsequent `GET` requests include the read-only `fileExtension` property populated with the extension originally specified in the `title` property. When a Google Drive user requests to download a file, or when the file is downloaded through the sync client, Drive builds a full filename (with extension) based on the title. In cases where the extension is missing, Drive attempts to determine the extension based on the file's MIME type.
