rustgoogleoauth2

The library currently supports Google OAuth2 flow for installed desktop applications and has been initally tested with manual copy/paste (of authorization code) redirect method.

Going forward support for Loopback IP redirect is planned to be added.

Prerequisites

Create your application in Google API Console
a. Credentials > Create credentials > OAuth client ID
b. Set application type to Other
c. Enter your application name
d. Download JSON configuration of newly created application

Example

toml [dependencies] gauth = "0.3.1" Sample client implementation

```rust,norun fn main() { // define consent URL handler // returns an auth. code which is then exchanged against access token let handleauth = |consenturl: String| -> Result> { println!("> open the link in browser\n\n{}\n", consenturl); println!("> enter the auth. code\n");

    let mut auth_code = String::new();
    io::stdin().read_line(&mut auth_code)?;

    Ok(auth_code)
}

let auth_client = gauth::Auth::new(
    "my-new-application",
    &[
        "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly",
    ],
    PathBuf::from("/my-google-credentials/oauth-credentials.json"),
);

let token = auth_client
    .access_token(handle_auth)
    .expect("failed to retrieve access token");

println!("obtained token: {:?}", token);

} ```
