jsondrive v0.0.3
jsondrive
easily upload json files to your google drive
googleapis for node is an awesome lib, but if you just want a very easy and simple api to create and update json files, try this.
Install
npm install jsondrive --save
Usage:
When I was building this, the main purpose was to add an entry into an array inside a json file at google drive. With this method, you will insert an object into that array and write to the json file.
//load our facade object
const jsondrive = require('jsondrive');
//require your json key file provided by google developer console
const googleKey = require('./googleKey.json');
//add an jsonEntry into the 'test' json file.
//gDriveApi is null here because if you provide the googleKey obj, the drive api object will be created automatically.
jsondrive.addJsonEntry({fileName: 'test', jsonEntry: {entry:0}, gdriveApi: null, googleKey: googleKey})
.then(()=>console.log('success'), (err)=>console.log(err));
//But if you want to construct the drive api manually, you can do this:
jsondrive
.getDrive(googleKey)
.then(result=>{
/*
result has two properties: 'drive' and 'jwt'
drive is the google drive authenticated connection
jwt is the google.auth.JWT obj created with your googleKey object
*/
//now you can get our api object :
jsondrive
.DriveApiFactory(null, result) //googleKey is null here because you already have the drive connection object (result)
.then(gapi=>{
/*
gapi has the methods below:
gapi.downloadJson(fileName)
gapi.uploadJson(fileName, jsonObj)
gapi.list()
gapi.deleteJson(fileName)
you can use the gapi at
jsondrive.addJsonEntry({
fileName: 'test',
jsonEntry: {},
gdriveApi: gapi,
})
in this case you dont need to assign the googleKey object
*/
});
})
