Google Local Auth: Node.js Client

This library is meant to demonstrate authentication for sample purposes; it should be treated as a starting point for building an application, and is not a general purpose solution. To explore authentication options, see our authentication library for Node.

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Quickstart

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/local-auth

Using the client library

const {authenticate} = require('@google-cloud/local-auth');

async function quickstart() {
  const localAuth = await authenticate({
    scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/blogger'],
    keyfilePath: '/path/to/keys.json',
  });
  console.log('Tokens:', localAuth.credentials);
}
quickstart();

Samples

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

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. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/local-auth@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be in preview. This means it is still a work-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject to backwards-incompatible changes at any time.
