Getting started

Any request that may be done on behalf of the user needs a valid authentication token:

require "gogole_client"
user = GoogleClient::User.new "user-authentication-token"

# Get user contacts
contacts = user.contacts

# Get user calendars
calendars = user.calendars

# Get a specific user calendar
calendar = user.calendars("<calendar-id>")

# Fetch calendar events
events = calendar.events

# Create calendar
calendar = user.create_calendar({:title => "my-new-calendar", 
                      :details => "Hello world", 
                      :timezone => "Spain", :location => "Barcelona"})

# ...

Take a look on the user.rb file to check the available methods

Roadmap

• Enhance filters
• Handle contacts
  • Create a new contact
  • Delete an existing contact
  • Update a contact
• Add XML format support. Currently (except the OAuth requests) all the requests/responses are JSON encoded. It may be nice to add support for XML too.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  • If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself so I can ignore when I pull
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
