A 4D component for accessing and working on your google workspace services.
This component is designed for 4D v19R5 or later.
This component is designed for use with the Service Account method of accessing Google Docs. This technique allows your app to operate from a server, to not require periodic re-authorization, and have access to all google services for all accounds for your domain. If you are trying to set up an app that will be for individual users and not an entire domain, you would use one of several other configurations.
I prefer submoduing this repo so updates to the code base trigger notifications in the repos that use it. I usually put them into a folder like Submodules in the parent project, or Resources/Submodules, etc. I do that because 4D does not like to have submodules directly in the Components folder, but it will be ok with having aliases/shortcuts in that folder.
Copy/Alias/Shortcut google-workspace.4dbase (which is technically just a folder with the suffix .4dbase.) to the parent project's Components folder.
The Components folder and the Project folder should be at the same level.
I have included both the .4dbase file and the Source folder in the repo for completeness/ease-of-use. If you have not used a component before, you can also turn the Source folder into a component, and use that, instead:
Duplicate the Source folder
Rename the copied Source folder to something like google.4dbase. You now have a component. Copy/alias/shortcut that, if you like.
If this has worked, when you go into your parent project, in the 4D Explorer, you should see google-workspace and its methods and classes in the Component Methods section.
The classes are available via the cs.google namespace
Check out the aTest
method for a very basic sample.
Documentation for the classes is available in the 4D Explorer and in the Source folder.
Use caution with turning any of the objects (Auth, for instance) into shared objects, as they must be modified. Auth needs to have the token object updated periodically, for example.
