Installation

To install from npm, run:

npm install google-calendar

To use the Google Calendar API, you need consumer_key and consumer_secret to initiate the module:

var GoogleCalendar = require('google-calendar');
var google_calendar = new GoogleCalendar.GoogleCalendar(
  config.consumer_key, 
  config.consumer_secret,
  'http://localhost:8082/authentication');
  

OAuth Authentication

This module includes google-oauht for OAuth 2.0 authentication. If you use framework such as express, you can create OAuht authentication by following :

app.all('/authentication', function(req, res){
	
	if(!req.query.code){
	  
	  //Redirect the user to Google's authentication form 
	  google_calendar.getGoogleAuthorizeTokenURL(function(err, redirecUrl) {
  		if(err) return res.send(500,err);
  	  return res.redirect(redirecUrl);
  	});
  	
	}else{
	  //Get access_token from the code
	  google_calendar.getGoogleAccessToken(req.query, function(err, access_token, refresh_token) {
	    
  		if(err) return res.send(500,err);
  		
  		req.session.access_token = access_token;
  		req.session.refresh_token = refresh_token;
  	  return res.redirect('/');
  	});
	}
});

    google_calendar.listEvent(access_token, calendar.id, function(err, events) {
      
      console.log('Calendar : ' + calendar.summary)
