I have a flow for uploading files to google drive using google drive API on a node.js server. Everything works, the file is uploaded to a specific folder inside my google drive. I created a file google-drive.js with all the function
const fs = require('fs');
const readline = require('readline');
const {google} = require('googleapis');
// If modifying these scopes, delete token.json.
const SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'];
// The file token.json stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
// created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
// time.
const TOKEN_PATH = 'token.json';
function readFile(filePath) {
fs.readFile('./server/drive/credentials.json', (err, content) => {
if (err) return console.log('Error loading client secret file:', err);
// Authorize a client with credentials, then call the Google Drive API.
// return authorize(JSON.parse(content), listFiles);
authorize(JSON.parse(content), filePath, uploadFile);
})
}
/**
* Create an OAuth2 client with the given credentials, and then execute the
* given callback function.
* @param {Object} credentials The authorization client credentials.
* @param {function} callback The callback to call with the authorized client.
*/
function authorize(credentials, filePath, callback) {
const {client_secret, client_id, redirect_uris} = credentials.web;
const oAuth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2(
client_id, client_secret, redirect_uris[0]);
// Check if we have previously stored a token.
fs.readFile(TOKEN_PATH, (err, token) => {
if (err) return getAccessToken(oAuth2Client, callback);
oAuth2Client.setCredentials(JSON.parse(token));
callback(oAuth2Client, filePath);
});
}
/**
* Get and store new token after prompting for user authorization, and then
* execute the given callback with the authorized OAuth2 client.
* @param {google.auth.OAuth2} oAuth2Client The OAuth2 client to get token for.
* @param {getEventsCallback} callback The callback for the authorized client.
*/
function getAccessToken(oAuth2Client, callback) {
const authUrl = oAuth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
access_type: 'offline',
scope: SCOPES,
});
console.log('Authorize this app by visiting this url:', authUrl);
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout,
});
rl.question('Enter the code from that page here: ', (code) => {
rl.close();
oAuth2Client.getToken(code, (err, token) => {
if (err) return console.error('Error retrieving access token', err);
oAuth2Client.setCredentials(token);
// Store the token to disk for later program executions
fs.writeFile(TOKEN_PATH, JSON.stringify(token), (err) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log('Token stored to', TOKEN_PATH);
});
callback(oAuth2Client, filePath);
});
});
}
/**
* Lists the names and IDs of up to 10 files.
* @param {google.auth.OAuth2} auth An authorized OAuth2 client.
*/
function listFiles(auth) {
const drive = google.drive({version: 'v3', auth});
drive.files.list({
pageSize: 10,
fields: 'nextPageToken, files(id, name)',
}, (err, res) => {
if (err) return console.log('The API returned an error: ' + err);
const files = res.data.files;
if (files.length) {
console.log('Files:');
files.map((file) => {
console.log(`${file.name} (${file.id})`);
});
} else {
console.log('No files found.');
}
});
}
function uploadFile(auth, filePath) {
const drive = google.drive({version: 'v3', auth});
const folderMetaData = {
'name': 'TEST_FOLDER',
'mimeType': 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'
};
return drive.files.create({
resource: folderMetaData,
fields: 'id'
}, function (err, file) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return err;
} else {
const folderId = file.data.id;
const fileMetadata = {
'name': 'TEST_IMAGE',
parents: [folderId]
};
const media = {
mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
body: fs.createReadStream(filePath)
};
drive.files.create({
resource: fileMetadata,
media: media,
fields: 'id'
}, (err, file) => {
if (err) {
// Handle error
return err;
} else {
return file;
}
});
}
})
}
module.exports = {
// Load client secrets from a local file.
read: function (filePath) {
return readFile(filePath);
}
};
and in my server.js (main file) i have imported the google-drive.js and added a route like this :
app.post('/api/drive/auth', async (req, res) => {
let result = null;
result = await drive.read(req.body.filePath);
console.log(result)
res.status(200).json('success');
});
the problem is, i can't seem to get a result from the flow of the uploading, everytime i console.log(result) i get undefined.
