google-api-loader

A thin, Promise-returning helper for loading the Google JavaScript API.

This work is totaly based on load-google-maps-api, just needed something like that for GAPI client, nothing more, sorry ;)

• The Promise’s fulfilled callback is passed the gapi object
• Optionally set a timeout, an API key, the language, and more

Usage

Example using import:

import loadGoogleApi from 'google-api-load'
 
loadGoogleApi().then(function (gapi) {
  gapi.load('client:auth2', function () {
    console.log('client:auth2 library has been loaded')
  })
})

More complex example using authentication and the Calendar API:

import loadGoogleApi from 'google-api-load'
 
var gapi = undefined;
 
function gapiSignIn(status) {
  if (status) {
    // Do something
  }
}
 
loadGoogleAPI({
  auth: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_GAPI_KEY>",
    clientId: "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
    discoveryDocs: ["https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/calendar/v3/rest"],
    scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly',
    listener: gapiSignIn
  }
}).then((GoogleAPI) => {
  gapi = GoogleAPI;
}, (reason) => {
    console.error(reason);
});

Why

Need to use Google API with Webpack in better way ... such as load-google-maps-api

API

const loadGoogleApi = require('google-load-api')

GoogleApi([options])

Returns a Promise.

• Fulfilled if loading was successful. The fulfilled callback is passed the gapi object. If loadGoogleApi is called multiple times on a page, the fulfilled callback will be passed the previously-loaded gapi object.
• Rejected if we weren’t able to load the Google API after options.timeout.

See Usage.

options is an optional object literal:

WARNING: If you use auth dictionary then all undefined fields/options are mandatory !

Installation
