I am using react-google-drive-picker to select a file from GDrive in my NextJS app. Once I have picked a file and retrieved the meta information, what is the suggested way to download or just retrieve the file content? What API is suggested to use authResponse to authenticate?
I am using:
useEffect(() => {
// do anything with the selected/uploaded files
if (data) {
var file = data.docs[0]
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', file['url']);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + authResponse['access_token']);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/vnd.google-apps.document');
xhr.onload = function () {
var content = xhr.responseText
console.log(content)
};
xhr.onerror = function () {
console.log("ERROR LOADING THE FILE")
};
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({"alt" : "media"}));
}
}, [data])
but the text of the document is not present in the response...
following the suggestion by @Gonzalo-Matheu, here's a way to obtain the text after picking a file with react-google-drive-picker in nextjs:
var file = data.docs[0]
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/' + file['id'] + '/export?mimeType=text%2Fplain&key=' + process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_API_KEY
xhr.open('GET', URL);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + authResponse['access_token']);
xhr.onload = function () {
var value = xhr.responseText
// do what you need with file content
console.log(value)
};
xhr.onerror = function () {
console.log("ERROR LOADING THE FILE")
};
xhr.send();
