Methods

Request an access token

Use xoauth2obj.getToken(callback) to get an access token. If a cached token is found and it should not be expired yet, the cached value will be used.

Request for generating a new access token

Use xoauth2obj.generateToken(callback) to get an access token. Cache will not be used and a new token is generated.

Update access token values

Use xoauth2obj.updateToken(accessToken, timeout) to set the new value for the xoauth2 access token. This function emits 'token'

Events

If a new token value has been set, 'token' event is emitted.

xoauth2obj.on("token", function(token){
    console.log("User: ", token.user); // e-mail address
    console.log("New access token: ", token.accessToken);
    console.log("New access token timeout: ", token.timeout); // TTL in seconds
});

var xoauth2 = require("xoauth2"),
    xoauth2gen;

xoauth2gen = xoauth2.createXOAuth2Generator({
    user: "user@gmail.com",

    scope: 'https://mail.google.com/',
    privateKey: '{Private Key in PEM format}'
