Google-sa-id-token NPM

google-sa-id-token

Fetch ID Token for Service Account when running in GCloud. Lib also caches tokens & auto-refreshes, to improve performance.

By default, tokens will expire 2s earlier that actuall expiry date, to prevent usage of almost expired token. This behaviour can be changed via options.

Installation:

npm i google-sa-id-token

Usage

Get an id Token for default identity (Application Default Credentials)

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken();
const token = await client.fetchIdToken(aud);

console.log(token); 
// example output

Get an id Token for default identity (Application Default Credentials) & default aud

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken({ defaultAudience: aud });
const token = await client.fetchIdToken();

console.log(token);

Add decoded token to response

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken();
const token = await client.fetchIdTokenDecoded(aud);

console.log(token);

Fetch token, ignoring cache.

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken();
const token = await client.fetchIdTokenNoCache(aud);
console.log(token);
// example output
// {
//   raw: ".......", 
//   payload: {
//     ...
//   }
// }

Use different service account

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken({ serviceAccountEmail: 'example@project-id.iam.iam.gserviceaccount.com' });
const token = await client.fetchIdTokenNoCache(aud);

Debug problems

Lib allows you to 'hook in' to different parts of flow, by providing optional logger instance.

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const logger = {
  info: console.log,
  error: console.error,
}

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken({ logger });
const token = await client.fetchIdToken(aud);

// your console logs will be invoked

Set custom expiry margin for tokens

import { GoogleSaIdToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken({ tokenExpiryMargin: 10000 /* 10 seconds */ });
const token = await client.fetchIdTokenNoCache(aud);

Utils usage, provided by lib

import { GoogleSaIdToken, decodeSaToken } from 'google-sa-id-token';

const client = new GoogleSaIdToken({ tokenExpiryMargin: 10000 /* 10 seconds */ });
const token = await client.fetchIdTokenNoCache(aud);

// utils
const decoded = decodeSaToken(token);
const sampleToken = generateExampleSaToken({ aud: 'override' });

// testing example with jest
jest
  .spyOn(GoogleSaIdToken.prototype, 'fetchIdToken')
  .mockResolvedValue(
    Promise.resolve(generateExampleSaToken({ aud: 'test' }).raw),
  );
