Quickstart

Installing the client library

npm install @kabeersnetwork/kauth-sdk

Ways to authenticate

This library provides a variety of ways to authenticate to your Google services.

• OAuth 2 - Use OAuth2 when you need to perform actions on behalf of the end user.
• JSON Web Tokens - Use JWT when you are using a single identity for all users. Especially useful for server->server or server->API communication.

Enable the API you want to use

Before making your API call, you must be sure the API you're calling has been enabled. Go to APIs & Auth > APIs in the Google Developers Console and enable the APIs you'd like to call. For the example below, you must enable the DNS API.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

• Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
• Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

• legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
