Google Drive Node.js Library

This Node.js library provides a robust and efficient solution for managing and uploading files to Google Drive. It is specifically designed to simplify the process of backing up and organizing data, allowing developers to upload files of any supported format with ease. During the upload process, all files are automatically converted into a ZIP archive, ensuring a compact and well-structured backup. The library emphasizes reliability, performance, and ease of integration, making it an ideal choice for both individual developers and enterprise-level applications that require seamless cloud storage management.

Features

Convert all files like JSON, JS, SQL, and more into a ZIP, then upload them to your Google Drive. We highly recommend subscribing to Google Drive for increased storage.

Example Code

const { uploadDatabase } = require("@hazeloffc/google-drive");
const credentials = require("./credentials.json");

(async () => {
  try {
    const result = await uploadDatabase({
      source: "./",                
      output: "./backup.zip",     
      credentials,                   
      folderId: "YOUR_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID"
    });

    console.log("🚀 Done! File uploaded:");
    console.log("🔗 Drive Link:", result.webViewLink);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("❌ Failed:", err);
  }
})();

Example Code: Monthly Upload

const { uploadDatabase } = require("@hazeloffc/google-drive");
const credentials = require("./credentials.json");

function getMonthlyBackupName() {
  const now = new Date();
  const year = now.getFullYear();
  const month = String(now.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, "0");
  return `backup-${year}-${month}.zip`;
}

(async () => {
  try {
    const output = `./${getMonthlyBackupName()}`;
    const result = await uploadDatabase({
      source: "./",                
      output,                     
      credentials,                 
      folderId: "YOUR_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID" 
    });

    console.log("🚀 Done! File uploaded:");
    console.log("📦 Local File:", output);
    console.log("🔗 Drive Link:", result.webViewLink);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("❌ Failed:", err);
  }
})();

Example credentials.json

{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "my-project-id",
  "private_key_id": "123abc456def789ghi...",
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BA...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "[email protected]",
  "client_id": "123456789012345678901",
  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
  "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
  "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/my-service-account%40my-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
}

How to Obtain credentials.json

1. Create a project in the Google Cloud Console
2. Enable the Google Drive API for your project.
3. Create a service account under IAM & Admin → Service Accounts.
4. Generate a JSON key for the service account and download the credentials.json file.
