bq_auth_configure function

Edit and view auth configuration

These functions give more control over and visibility into the auth configuration than bq_auth() does. bq_auth_configure()

lets the user specify their own:

• OAuth client, which is used when obtaining a user token.

See the vignette("get-api-credentials", package = "gargle")

for more. If the user does not configure these settings, internal defaults are used.

bq_oauth_client() retrieves the currently configured OAuth client.

bq_auth_configure(client, path, app = deprecated())

bq_oauth_client()

Arguments

• client: A Google OAuth client, presumably constructed via gargle::gargle_oauth_client_from_json(). Note, however, that it is preferred to specify the client with JSON, using the path argument.

• path: JSON downloaded from Google Cloud Console, containing a client id and secret, in one of the forms supported for the txt argument of jsonlite::fromJSON() (typically, a file path or JSON string).

• app: Replaced by the client

  argument.

Returns

• bq_auth_configure(): An object of R6 class gargle::AuthState , invisibly.
• bq_oauth_client(): the current user-configured OAuth client.

Examples

# see and store the current user-configured OAuth client (probably `NULL`)
(original_client <- bq_oauth_client())

# the preferred way to configure your own client is via a JSON file
# downloaded from Google Developers Console
# this example JSON is indicative, but fake
path_to_json <- system.file(
  "extdata", "data", "client_secret_123.googleusercontent.com.json",
  package = "bigrquery"
)
bq_auth_configure(path = path_to_json)

# confirm the changes
bq_oauth_client()

# restore original auth config
bq_auth_configure(client = original_client)
