Simple Calendly Backend

Welcome to this express app!

Getting Started

To use this app, follow the instructions below:

1. Clone this repository.

2. Create a .env file and add the following variables:

   • PORT=3000
   • NODE_ENV=development
   • GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
   • GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=

   To get your GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET:

   • Go to the Google Developer Console and create a new project.
   • Enable the Google Calendar API for your project.
   • Create OAuth2 credentials for a web app with the following redirect URI: http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback.
   • Download the JSON file and copy the client_id and client_secret values into your .env file.

3. Run npm install to install all the required modules.

4. Run npm run dev to start the app on http://localhost:3000.

5. Visit http://localhost:3000/docs to access the Swagger API documentation.

Authorization Process

To authorize your host, follow these steps:

1. Call the /initiate-auth API.
2. The API will return an authUrl.
3. Open the authUrl in your browser and grant permission to your Google account.
4. Once permission is granted, the browser will redirect to http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback with an authorization code in the request body.
5. The above auth code is already taken into care to generate access token and refresh token, and set the credentials. You don't have to do anything else.
6. You are now authorized to use the other APIs.

Available Meeting Slots

I have randomly picked 10 available meeting slots between 9th April 2023 to 16th April 2023 in advance. You can add/update/remove slots in utils.ts file.
