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.

   def deps do
     [
       {:goth, "~> 1.4"}
     ]
   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
   

   If you set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS or GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_JSON, have a ~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json file, ~/.config/gcloud/configurations/config_default file or deploy your application to Google Cloud, you can omit the :source option:

   def start(_type, _args) do
     children = [
       {Goth, name: MyApp.Goth}
     ]
   
     Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
   end
   

   If you want to use multiple credentials, you may consider doing:

   def start(_type, _args) do
     Supervisor.start_link(servers(), strategy: :one_for_one)
   end
   
   defp servers do
     servers = [
       {MyApp.Cred1, source1},
       ...
       {MyApp.CredN, source2}
     ]
   
     for {name, source} <- servers do
       Supervisor.child_spec({Goth, name: name, source: source}, id: name)
     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.
