[Pharo-project] Zinc-SSO OAuth2 Google offline access
After some struggle to understand OAuth2 and Google Calendar API, I managed to insert a calendar entry. Now, I want to be able to manipulate the calendar, without the user being logged on, in their browser - which is "offline" access according to the Google docs [1] (I'm not sure whether this is an OAuth2 feature, or a Google API feature). I noticed that the ZnGoogleOAuth2Session is coded for "online" access. Should I start coding a ZnGoogleOAuth2OfflineSession - is this the right approach? What's the best way to contribute the code - just make changes in Zinc-SSO-OAuth2-Core package, for later merging? [1] https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer
Hello Yanni, Good to hear that you have OAuth access to Google Calendar working. Currently the access_type parameter is hardcoded to "online" in ZnGoogleOAuth2Session. Instead of making a separate class for offline access I think it's a better idea to change the current class so you can configure it for either online or offline access. If you want you can make the changes to the Zinc-SSO-OAuth2-Core package. You can mail them to Sven or me and we will integrate them. Jan.
