This package's original focus was aiding in the development of applications that needed tighter integration with an organization's G Suite domain to provide domain management and support. However, this package can be used for other Google APIs. This package was inspired by the [Google API Client Wrapper](https://github.com/pulkitjalan/google-apiclient) package. - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [Configuration](#configuration) - [Setup Credential File Storage](#setup-credential-file-storage) - [Create Project in Google Developer Console](#create-project-in-google-developer-console) - [Initialize Configuration Variables](#initialize-configuration-variables) - [Authorization](#authorization) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP ^5.6|^7.0|^8.0 - Laravel >5.6 Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require ncsuwebdev/gclient ``` The package will automatically register itself. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) There are numerous steps to get API credentials properly working with the Google API. ### Setup Credential File Storage [](#setup-credential-file-storage) The Google API will provide several json files used to store credentials. These should be stored outside your web-servicable directory space. We recommend creating a new directory called `googleapi` in the root of your project. You can name this whatever you'd like but be sure to reference it properly in the config file. ### Create Project in Google Developer Console [](#create-project-in-google-developer-console) Visit the [Google Developer Console](https://console.developers.google.com/) to create a new project that will have it's own API credentials. 1. Specify the necessary API scopes for your project. *Make note of the API's selected to ensure you can add them to the config file.* 2. Setup an OAuth 2.0 client ID with application type of Other. Once setup is complete, download the client\_secrets.json file and save to the `googleapi` directory. #### Domain Wide Delegation [](#domain-wide-delegation) If working with a G Suite domain and **Domain Wide Delegation** is needed, you'll need to setup and configure a Service Account inside the Developer Console along with an associated user. Download the provided `oauth2service.json` file and save it to the `googleapi` directory. You'll also need to authorize the API scope list for the service account client ID inside the G Suite Admin Console. [Check out the wiki](https://github.com/ncsuwebdev/gclient/wiki/Google-API-Scopes-for-Delegate-Admin-Access) for a default list to get you started. ### Initialize Configuration Variables [](#initialize-configuration-variables) You may optionally run ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NCSU\GClient\GoogleClientServiceProvider" --tag="config" ``` To publish a copy of the default configuration values into your application. If you wish to alter any of the Google API Scopes used, you'll need to publish a configuration file. You'll need to configure the following configuration values in your .env file: - GOOGLE\_APP\_NAME - GOOGLE\_CLIENT\_ID - GOOGLE\_CLIENT\_SECRET - GOOGLE\_SERVICE\_ACCOUNT\_NAME - GOOGLE\_SERVICE\_ACCOUNT\_JSON - GOOGLE\_CUSTOMER\_ID - GOOGLE\_DOMAIN\_NAME - GOOGLE\_SECRETS\_FROM\_BASE\_PATH - GOOGLE\_CREDENTIALS\_PATH - GOOGLE\_TOKEN\_PATH #### Multiple Domains [](#multiple-domains) If you need to handle multiple domains but don't want to worry about constantly changing your .env or credentials file, you can set `GOOGLE_ENV` in your `.env` file to be a string that will prefix your config variables. For example if you set `GOOGLE_ENV='TESTING'` the config file will search for the necessary variables prefixed with `TESTING_` such as `TESTING_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`. Authorization ------------- [](#authorization) To authorize your application to talk to the Google API run the following command: ``` php artisan gclient:authorize ``` Follow the prompts to authorize API access using the Google Account that you used with the developer console. If you change any API scopes after authorization, you should run ``` php artisan gclient:authorize --reauth ``` to grab a fresh token with the proper scopes. ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 72.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
