A standalone library for receiving Google OAuth tokens
npm install @google-cloud/local-auth[//]: # "This README.md file is auto-generated, all changes to this file will be lost."
[//]: # "To regenerate it, use python -m synthtool."


This library is meant to demonstrate authentication for sample purposes; it should be treated as a starting point for building an application, and is not a general purpose solution. To explore authentication options, see our authentication library for Node.
A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in
the CHANGELOG.

``bash`
npm install @google-cloud/local-auth
`javascript
const {authenticate} = require('@google-cloud/local-auth');
async function quickstart() {
const localAuth = await authenticate({

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.
| Sample | Source Code | Try it |

The [Google Local Auth Node.js Client API Reference][client-docs] documentation
also contains samples.
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule.
Libraries are compatible with all current _active_ and _maintenance_ versions of
Node.js.
If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update
as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a
best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
* Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
* Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
* Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).npm install @google-cloud/local-auth@legacy-8
For example, installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be in preview. This means it is still a
work-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject to
backwards-incompatible changes at any time.
