What is gtoken?

The gtoken npm package is designed to handle the acquisition and management of Google OAuth2 tokens. It simplifies the process of authenticating with Google APIs by managing the token generation, refresh, and validation processes.

What are gtoken's main functionalities?

Generate Access Token

This feature allows users to generate an access token by providing a key file and the required scopes. The token can then be used to authenticate requests to Google APIs.

const { GoogleToken } = require('gtoken');
const gtoken = new GoogleToken({
  keyFile: 'path/to/keyfile.json',
  scope: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
});
gtoken.getToken().then(token => {
  console.log(token);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});

Refresh Token

This feature allows users to refresh their existing token when it expires. The refreshed token ensures continued access without needing to re-authenticate.

const { GoogleToken } = require('gtoken');
const gtoken = new GoogleToken({
  keyFile: 'path/to/keyfile.json',
  scope: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'],
  token: existingToken
});
gtoken.refreshToken().then(newToken => {
  console.log(newToken);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});
