Getting Started

Before we start, we need Google Drive Application Project and credential.json

Create Google Drive Application Project

1. Create a Google Cloud project
2. Setup Google API Oauth2 prerequisites
   • After creating your credentials, download the client_secret.json file from the API Console.
3. Enable the Google Drive API

Create credential.json

• Create credential.json using Node.js quickstart | Google Drive API
• Or you can create credential.json using ts-node - npm
  1. Clone this repository, and install dependencies
  2. Move your client_secret.json file into repository directory with name oauth.keys.json

  3. ts-node write-credential.ts

❗❗ NEVER INCLUDE YOUR CLIENT SECRET (oauth.keys.json and credential.json) IN VERSION CONTROL ❗❗

Setting up repository secret

To run this action, we need 4 repository secret parameter

1. clientId
2. clientSecret
3. redirectUri
4. credential_json

• First 3 parameters can be obtained by client_secret.json (or oauth.keys.json)
• credential_json is contents of file credential.json created by you
  • This value is parsed by action, using JSON.parse() function.
  • Check out /src/input.ts for more detail

How to debug google drive api query

Use debug.ts file in this repo

1. Define constants CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT_URI, CREDENTIAL_JSON
2. Define constants query inside main() function
3. Run ts-node ./debug.ts and checkout results

❗❗ **NEVER INCLUDE YOUR CHANGES OF debug.ts IN VERSION CONTROL ❗❗
