Google-Calendar
Google Calendar library for Node.js
npm install google-calendar
For 0.0.x users
This module (1.x.x) has been redesigned completely, so it is incompatible with the old version. The 0.0.x version is moved to branch name v0.
Usage
AccessToken & Authentication
This library requires Google API's Access Token with calendars scope.
var gcal = ;var google_calendar = accessToken;
To get accessToken
, use another authentication framework such as passport (recommended, but not required) for OAuth 2.0 authentication. You can take look at the example code in example folder.
var GoogleStrategy = OAuth2Strategy;var passport = ;var gcal = ; passport;
API Usage
This library follows Google Calendar API v3 Reference.
GoogleCalendarResource
For example
var google_calendar = accessToken; google_calendarcalendarList;
Running Tests
This library uses mocha test framework.
All test files are included in folder /specs
.
To run the test, you need to install the dev-dependencies.
npm install -d
You also need to fill /specs/config.js
with your API key and refresh_token. See Google's document on OAuth2.
Note: The process for getting those credentials is still complicated; I'll improve this later.
module.exports = {
consumer_key : 'CONSUMER_KEY',
consumer_secret : 'CONSUMER_SECRET',
refresh_token : 'REFRESH_TOKEN',
}
The testcase involves calling Google Calendar and takes a long time to complete. Thus, running mocha with a high timeout parameter (more than 6 seconds) is recommended.
mocha ./specs --timeout 6000
