npm-google-calendar

This npm module simplifies and connects users with the Google Calendar API, follow step by step. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Configure

1. To begin, install the package: npm i npm-google-calendar

2. Create a config folder. There, create a settings.js file where you will access sensitive data from your credentials.

Your settings.js file should be similar to this:

/* You find SERVICE_ACCT_ID from the Service Account ID credentials token you create in the Google Developers Console.  */
const SERVICE_ACCT_ID = '<service_account>@<project_name>.iam.gserviceaccount.com';

/* You find this in your calendars "Settings and sharing" */
const CALENDAR_ID = {
  'primary': 'main-calendar-id>@gmail.com'
};
const TIMEZONE = 'UTC-05:00';

// or if using json keys - module.exports.key = key;
const key = require('json key you create after making the service account' ).private_key;
module.exports.key = key;
module.exports.serviceAcctId = SERVICE_ACCT_ID;
module.exports.calendarId = CALENDAR_ID;
module.exports.timezone = TIMEZONE;

3. If you have never done so, create a Service Account in the Google Developers Console.

4. Create a project of your chosen name, and enable the Google Calendar API.

5. Proceed by creating credentials of type "Service Account ID" and download the JSON data. Add it your config folder. Remember to update your settings.js with your own SERVICE__ACCT_ID, which is the value of the "client_email" key.
