@types/gapi

What is @types/gapi?

@types/gapi provides TypeScript type definitions for the Google API JavaScript client library, allowing developers to interact with various Google services in a type-safe manner.

What are @types/gapi's main functionalities?

Load Google API Client

This feature allows you to load the Google API client library, which is necessary for making requests to Google APIs.

gapi.load('client', () => { console.log('Google API client loaded'); });

Initialize Google API Client

This feature initializes the Google API client with your API key and discovery documents, which describe the APIs you want to use.

gapi.client.init({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY', discoveryDocs: ['https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/drive/v3/rest'] }).then(() => { console.log('Google API client initialized'); });

Make API Requests

This feature allows you to make requests to Google APIs, such as listing files in Google Drive.

gapi.client.drive.files.list({ pageSize: 10 }).then(response => { console.log(response.result.files); });

Handle Authentication

This feature handles user authentication, allowing users to sign in with their Google account and access protected resources.

gapi.auth2.init({ client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID' }).then(() => { gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().signIn().then(user => { console.log(user.getBasicProfile().getName()); }); });
