aml-gdoc-server
This is a simple way to retrieve Google Docs written in the ArchieML format as json for web apps.
It was created for the Quartz things team, which uses it as part of our build process to streamline the editing of our work.
Installation
To install run
npm install -g git+ssh://git@gitlab.com:quartzthings/aml-gdoc-server.git
in your terminal shell
Usage
To start the server run
aml-gdoc-server
in your terminal shell
On the first run
The first time you start the server it will prompt you to provide it with Google API credentials. You will be given instructions on securing those. These credentials and subsiquent authorization tokens are saved in a hidden file at ~/.aml-gdoc-credentials
in json format
On subsiquent runs
After the one time setup procedures are completed, all future instances of the server will start immediately upon running aml-gdoc-server
in your shell
On all runs
The server defaults to port 6006 i.e. "Goog."
ArchieML formatted Google Docs can can be retrieved using this url structure http://127.0.0.1:6006/{google-doc-key}
Currently your google doc needs to be set to "Allow anyone with the link to view"
