# TypeScript typings for Drive API v3

Manages files in Drive including uploading, downloading, searching, detecting changes, and updating sharing permissions.
For detailed description please check [documentation](https://developers.google.com/drive/).

## Installing

Install typings for Drive API:

```
npm install @types/gapi.client.drive@v3 --save-dev
```

## Usage

You need to initialize Google API client in your code:

```typescript
gapi.load('client', () => {
  // now we can use gapi.client
  // ...
});
```

Then load api client wrapper:

```typescript
gapi.client.load('drive', 'v3', () => {
  // now we can use gapi.client.drive
  // ...
});
```

Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources:

```typescript
// declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console
var client_id = '',
  scope = [ 
      // See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',

      // See, create, and delete its own configuration data in your Google Drive
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata',

      // See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',

      // View and manage metadata of files in your Google Drive
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata',

      // See information about your Google Drive files
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly',

      // View the photos, videos and albums in your Google Photos
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.photos.readonly',

      // See and download all your Google Drive files
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly',

      // Modify your Google Apps Script scripts' behavior
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.scripts',
    ],
    immediate = true;
// ...

gapi.auth.authorize(
  { client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate },
  authResult => {
    if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
        /* handle successful authorization */
    } else {
        /* handle authorization error */
    }
});
```

After that you can use Drive API resources:

```typescript

/*
Gets information about the user, the user's Drive, and system capabilities.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.about.get({  });

/*
Gets the starting pageToken for listing future changes.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.changes.getStartPageToken({  });

/*
Lists the changes for a user or shared drive.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.changes.list({ pageToken: "pageToken",  });

/*
Subscribes to changes for a user.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.changes.watch({ pageToken: "pageToken",  });

/*
Stop watching resources through this channel
*/
await gapi.client.drive.channels.stop({  });

/*
Creates a new comment on a file.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.comments.create({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Deletes a comment.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.comments.delete({ commentId: "commentId", fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Gets a comment by ID.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.comments.get({ commentId: "commentId", fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Lists a file's comments.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.comments.list({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Updates a comment with patch semantics.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.comments.update({ commentId: "commentId", fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Creates a new shared drive.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.create({ requestId: "requestId",  });

/*
Permanently deletes a shared drive for which the user is an organizer. The shared drive cannot contain any untrashed items.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.delete({ driveId: "driveId",  });

/*
Gets a shared drive's metadata by ID.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.get({ driveId: "driveId",  });

/*
Hides a shared drive from the default view.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.hide({ driveId: "driveId",  });

/*
Lists the user's shared drives.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.list({  });

/*
Restores a shared drive to the default view.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.unhide({ driveId: "driveId",  });

/*
Updates the metadate for a shared drive.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.drives.update({ driveId: "driveId",  });

*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.copy({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Creates a new file.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.create({  });

/*
Permanently deletes a file owned by the user without moving it to the trash. If the file belongs to a shared drive the user must be an organizer on the parent. If the target is a folder, all descendants owned by the user are also deleted.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.delete({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Permanently deletes all of the user's trashed files.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.emptyTrash({  });

/*
Exports a Google Workspace document to the requested MIME type and returns exported byte content. Note that the exported content is limited to 10MB.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.export({ fileId: "fileId", mimeType: "mimeType",  });

/*

*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.generateIds({  });

/*

await gapi.client.drive.files.modifyLabels({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Updates a file's metadata and/or content. When calling this method, only populate fields in the request that you want to modify. When updating fields, some fields might change automatically, such as modifiedDate. This method supports patch semantics.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.update({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Subscribes to changes to a file. While you can establish a channel for changes to a file on a shared drive, a change to a shared drive file won't create a notification.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.files.watch({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*
Creates a permission for a file or shared drive.
*/
await gapi.client.drive.permissions.create({ fileId: "fileId",  });

/*

await gapi.client.drive.permissions.get({ fileId: "fileId", permissionId: "permissionId",  });
