google-documents-api


Unofficial Google Documents node API. Read data from Google Document
(only the word processor documents, Google Spreadsheet, Presentation,
etc. not supported) in your node app.

Usage

1. Install module
``shell
npm install google-documents-api
`
2. Obtain service auth credentials. Follow steps 2-7 in
google-sheets-api usage instructions.
3. Authorize your service email address (obtained in previous step)
to read the document.
4. Collect the document id from URL.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/THIS_IS_THE_DOCUMENT_ID/edit

Now you are ready to go.

`javascript
var fs = require('fs');
var Documents = require('google-documents-api');

var documentId = 'your-document-id';
var serviceEmail = 'generated-by-dev-console@developer.gserviceaccount.com';
var serviceKey = fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/sheets.pem').toString();

var docs = new Documents({ email: serviceEmail, key: serviceKey });

docs.getDocumentHtml(documentId).then(function(htmlContent) {
console.log(htmlContent);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.error(err, 'Failed to read document');
});
``

API

$3

Initialize Documents client

* @param {Object} options
* @param {String} options.email - Service email address
* @param {String} options.key - Service .PEM key contents

$3

Fetch Google Document as HTML

* @param {String} id - Document id
* @return {String} - Document content as HTML (root element is )

If you intend to display document contents as part of app/site,
observe that the returned string is full-page HTML. Therefore is
recommended to wrap it up in iframe to encapsulate styles and avoid
the doc and your app/site from breaking each other.
