'always-on-top': true,
'standard-window': true,
'auto-hide-menu-bar': true,

};
const googleOauth = electronGoogleOauth(browserWindowParams);
( async () => {
// retrieve authorization code only
const authCode = await googleOauth.getAuthorizationCode(
['https://www.google.com/m8/feeds'],
'your-client-id',
'your-client-secret',
'your-redirect-uri'
);
console.dir(authCode);
// retrieve access token and refresh token
const result = await googleOauth.getAccessToken(
['https://www.google.com/m8/feeds'],

'your-client-secret',
'your-redirect-uri'
);
console.dir(result);
