gdrivevault v1.0.0

gdrivevault

gdrivevault simplifies Google Drive integration for your Node.js projects. It lets you search and download files from specific Google Drive folders while managing a local database for faster searches.

Quick start

1. Install the package:

npm install gdrivevault
# or
yarn add gdrivevault

2. Set up Google Drive API credentials:

   • Go to the Google Cloud Console
   • Create a new project or select an existing one
   • Enable the Google Drive API
   • Create OAuth 2.0 Client IDs credentials (choose "Desktop App" as the application type)
   • Download the credentials.json file and save it to storage/auth/credentials.json. You can customize the path if needed (see Customization)

3. Initialize and use gdrivevault:

import {DriveFileManager} from 'gdrivevault';

const config = {
    folderId: 'your-google-drive-folder-id',
};

const driveManager = new DriveFileManager(config);
await driveManager.init();

// Search for files
const results = await driveManager.searchFiles('your-search-query');
console.log('Search Results:', results);

// Download a file
const fileLink = 'file-web-view-link';
const filePath = await driveManager.downloadFile(fileLink);
console.log(`File downloaded to: ${filePath}`);

// Refresh the local database
await driveManager.refreshDatabase();
console.log('Database refreshed successfully.');

On first run, you'll be prompted to authenticate your application through a browser window. Grant the necessary permissions, and gdrivevault will save the access token for future use.

Features

• Easy Google Drive integration
• Fast file searches using local database caching
• Automatic database management
• Customizable storage paths
• Support for multiple Google Drive folders

Customization

You can customize various paths and settings:

const config = {
    folderId: 'your-google-drive-folder-id',
    tokenPath: './auth/tokens/token.json',
    credentialsPath: './auth/credentials.json',
    databasePath: './data/databases/my_custom_database.sqlite',
    downloadsPath: './my_downloads',
    logsPath: './my_logs',
};

Configuration options

Methods

• init(): Promise<void>: Initialize the DriveFileManager
• searchFiles(query: string): Promise<DatabaseFile[]>: Search for files
• downloadFile(fileLink: string): Promise<string>: Download a file
• refreshDatabase(): Promise<void>: Update the local database

Managing multiple folders

To manage multiple Google Drive folders, create separate instances of DriveFileManager:

const folderIds = ['folder-id-1', 'folder-id-2'];

const managers = await Promise.all(
    folderIds.map(async folderId => {
        const config = {folderId};
        const manager = new DriveFileManager(config);
        await manager.init();
        return manager;
    })
);

// Use managers[0] and managers[1] to interact with each folder
