Goth

Google + Auth = Goth

A simple library to generate and retrieve OAuth2 tokens for use with Google Cloud Service accounts.

Installation

Note: below are instructions for using Goth v1.3+. For more information on earlier versions of Goth, see v1.2.0 documentation on hexdocs.pm.

1. Add :goth to your list of dependencies in mix.exs. To use the built-in, Finch-based HTTP client adapter, add :finch too:

   def deps do
     [
       {:goth, "~> 1.3-rc"}
     ]
   end

2. Add Goth to your supervision tree:

   defmodule MyApp.Application do
     use Application
   
     def start(_type, _args) do
       credentials = "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_JSON" |> System.fetch_env!() |> Jason.decode!()
       source = {:service_account, credentials, []}
   
       children = [
         {Goth, name: MyApp.Goth, source: source}
       ]
   
       Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
     end
   end

   ...or use multiple credentials:

   defmodule MyApp.Application do
     use Application
   
     def start(_type, _args) do
       Supervisor.start_link(load_credentials(), strategy: :one_for_one)
     end
   
     defp load_credentials do
       [
         {MyApp.Cred1, "CREDENTIALS_JSON_1"},
         ...
         {MyApp.CredN, "CREDENTIALS_JSON_N"}
       ]
       |> Enum.map(fn {id, env_var} ->
         credentials = env_var |> System.fetch_env!() |> Jason.decode!()
         source = {:service_account, credentials, []}
         Supervisor.child_spec({Goth, name: id, source: source}, id: id)
       end)
   end
   

3. Fetch the token:

   iex> Goth.fetch!(MyApp.Goth)
   %Goth.Token{
     expires: 1453356568,
     token: "ya29.cALlJ4ICWRvMkYB-WsAR-CZnExE459PA7QPqKg5nei9y2T9-iqmbcgxq8XrTATNn_BPim",
     type: "Bearer",
     ...
   }

See Goth.start_link/1 for more information about possible configuration options.
