Returns a new oauth2 access token when expired.
npm install refresh-tokenHelper function to get always an oauth 2 valid token given a refresh token.
The mechanism is explained here.
If the token has expired, it will fetch a newone, otherwise it will return the current access token.
npm install refresh-token
~~~javascript
var TokenProvider = require('refresh-token');
var tokenProvider = new TokenProvider('http://token-url', {
refresh_token: 'refresh token',
client_id: 'client id',
client_secret: 'client secret'
/* you can pass an access token optionally
access_token: 'fdlaksd',
expires_in: 2133
*/
});
tokenProvider.getToken(function (err, token) {
//token will be a valid access token.
});

There is also a GoogleTokenProvider which has the url already set:
~~~javascript
var GoogleTokenProvider = require('refresh-token').GoogleTokenProvider;
var tokenProvider = new GoogleTokenProvider({
refresh_token: 'refresh token',
client_id: 'client id',
client_secret: 'client secret'
});
