Google 3P Authorization JavaScript Library for websites - API reference

This reference describes the Google 3P Authorization JavaScript Library API, which you can use to load authorization codes or access tokens from Google.

Method: google.accounts.oauth2.initCodeClient

The initCodeClient method initializes and returns a code client, with the configurations in the parameter.

google.accounts.oauth2.initCodeClient(config: CodeClientConfig)

Data type: CodeClientConfig

The following table lists the properties of the CodeClientConfig data type.

Properties
`client_id`	Required. The client ID for your application. You can find this value in the API Console.
`scope`	Required. A space-delimited list of scopes that identify the resources that your application could access on the user's behalf. These values inform the consent screen that Google displays to the user.
`include_granted_scopes`	Optional, defaults to `true`. Enables applications to use incremental authorization to request access to additional scopes in context. If you set this parameter's value to `false` and the authorization request is granted, then the new access token will only cover any scopes to which the `scope` requested in this `CodeClientConfig`.
`redirect_uri`	Required for redirect UX. Determines where the API server redirects the user after the user completes the authorization flow. The value must exactly match one of the authorized redirect URIs for the OAuth 2.0 client, which you configured in the API Console and must conform to our Redirect URI validation rules. The property will be ignored by the popup UX.
`callback`	Required for popup UX. The JavaScript function that handles returned code response. The property will be ignored by the redirect UX.
`state`	Optional. Recommended for redirect UX. Specifies any string value that your application uses to maintain state between your authorization request and the authorization server's response.
`enable_granular_consent`	Deprecated, no effect if set. See granular permissions for details of consent behavior.
`enable_serial_consent`	Deprecated, no effect if set. See granular permissions for details of consent behavior.
`login_hint`	Optional. If your application knows which user should authorize the request, it can use this property to provide a login hint to Google. When successful, account selection is skipped. The email address or ID token sub field value for the target user. For more information, see the `login_hint` field in the OpenID Connect documentation.
`hd`	Optional. If your application knows the Workspace domain the user belongs to, use this to provide a hint to Google. When successful, user accounts are limited to or pre-selected for the provided domain. For more information, see the `hd` field in the OpenID Connect documentation.
`ux_mode`	Optional. The UX mode to use for the authorization flow. By default, it will open the consent flow in a popup. Valid values are `popup` and `redirect`.
`select_account`	Optional, defaults to 'false'. Boolean value to prompt the user to select an account.
`error_callback`	Optional. The JavaScript function that handles some non-OAuth errors, such as the popup window is failed to open; or closed before an OAuth response is returned. The `type` field of the input parameter gives the detailed reason. popup_failed_to_open The popup window is failed to open. popup_closed The popup window is closed before an OAuth response is returned. unknown Placeholder for other errors.

Common errors for `revoke` method: `invalid_token` - Token is already expired or revoked before `revoke` method is called. In most cases, you can regard the grant associated with the `accessToken` is revoked. `invalid_request` - Token is not revocable. You should make sure `accessToken` is a valid Google OAuth 2.0 credential.
`error_description`	String. Undefined on success. Human-readable ASCII text provides additional information on `error` property. Developers can use this to better understand the error that occurred. The `error_description` string is in English only. For the common errors listed in `error` the corresponding `error_description`: `invalid_token` - Token expired or revoked. `invalid_request` - Token is not revocable.
