gm_auth_configure: Edit auth configuration

In gmailr: Access the 'Gmail' 'RESTful' API

Edit auth configuration

Description

See the article Set up an OAuth client for instructions on how to get an OAuth client. Then you can use gm_auth_configure() to register your client for use with gmailr. gm_oauth_client() retrieves the currently configured OAuth client.

Usage

gm_auth_configure(
  client = NULL,
  path = gm_default_oauth_client(),
  key = deprecated(),
  secret = deprecated(),
  appname = deprecated(),
  app = deprecated()
)

gm_oauth_client()

Arguments

client	A Google OAuth client, presumably constructed via gargle::gargle_oauth_client_from_json(). Note, however, that it is preferred to specify the client with JSON, using the path argument.
path	JSON downloaded from Google Cloud Console, containing a client id and secret, in one of the forms supported for the txt argument of jsonlite::fromJSON() (typically, a file path or JSON string).
key, secret, appname, app	Use the path (strongly recommended) or client argument instead.

Value

• gm_auth_configure(): An object of R6 class gargle::AuthState, invisibly.

• gm_oauth_client(): the current user-configured OAuth client.

Examples

# if your OAuth client can be auto-discovered (see ?gm_default_oauth_client),
# you don't need to provide anything!
gm_auth_configure()

# see and store the current user-configured OAuth client
(original_client <- gm_oauth_client())

# the preferred way to configure your own client is via a JSON file
# downloaded from Google Developers Console
# this example JSON is indicative, but fake
path_to_json <- system.file(
  "extdata", "client_secret_installed.googleusercontent.com.json",
  package = "gargle"
)
gm_auth_configure(path = path_to_json)

# confirm that a (fake) OAuth client is now configured
gm_oauth_client()

# restore original auth config
gm_auth_configure(client = original_client)
