google-drive-sync

Share a Google document with this daemon, and it will be converted to JSON, saved to disk and watched for changes.

• Google Sheets are converted using the XLSX export.
• Google Docs are converted using ArchieML

Inspired by DriveShaft and gudocs.

Ignoring errors from Google Drive

Sometimes Google Drive returns errors that are not fatal, e.g. 429 (rate limit) and 403 (forbidden). You can ignore these errors by passing the --ignore-errors option. By default, only 429 errors are ignored

$ google-drive-sync --ignore-errors 429 --ignore-errors 403

Plugins

Can e.g. be used to purge HTTP caches.

$ cat my-plugin.js

module.exports = function (googleDriveSync) {
  googleDriveSync.on('error', err => console.log('my plugin', err));
  googleDriveSync.on('saved', fileName => console.log('document was saved', fileName));
}

$ google-drive-sync --plugins ./my-plugin.js [...]
