Node.js Google Drive Crud API

Getting started

Installation

This library is distributed on npm. In order to add it as a dependency, run the following command:

$ npm install

Service account credentials

Service accounts allow you to perform server-to-server, app-level authentication using a robot account. You will create a service account, download a keyfile, and use that to authenticate to Google APIs. To create a service account:

• Go to the Create Service Account Key page
• Select New Service Account in the drop down
• Click the Create button

Save the service account credential file somewhere safe, and do not check this file into source control! To reference the service account credential file, you have a few options.

Using the keyFilePath property

You need to edit the keyFilePath variable located in the services/googleDriveServices.js file.

const keyFilePath = path.join(__dirname, "./your-secret-key.json");

const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
  keyFile: keyFilePath,
  scopes: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"],
});

Using the folderId property

You should edit the folderId variable in the services/googleDriveServices.js file according to your own folder id.

const folderId = "your-folder-id";
