Easy to use library for using Google Drive and Google sign in

Drive Helper #

Drive Helper is an easy to use library for interfacing with Google Drive and Google sign in.
It is a thin wrapper around google_sign_in and googleapis, making it much more intuitive for developers to use and integrate Google Drive into a project. If you already use the Drive API, then you probably have a wrapper class for initialisation and read/write, you can likely easily replace it with Drive Helper.

Get started #

Follow the instruction in the tutorial to start using Drive Helper in your Flutter project, or migrate to it for an existing app.

Features #

  • Signs in to Google and maintains the account for you
  • Exposed DriveAPI, GoogleSignIn, and GoogleSignInAccount to help with possibly missing functionality
  • Provides methods for
    • Signing in to and signing out or disconnecting from Google accounts
    • Searching, creating, reading, overwriting, appending, and deleting files
    • Getting the account's name, email address, or avatar
  • Predefined MIME types for use in creating and exporting files
  • Predefined permission scopes for easily picking a suitable permission level apt for your purposes

Example #

To have a look at an app that uses this library, see the app that inspired Drive Helper, BP Logger.

The code below shows how to initialise the library:

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  late DriveHelper driveHelper;

  Widget build() {
    return MaterialApp(
      // Theming and other setting
      body: FutureBuilder(
        future: () async => await driveHelper = DriveHelper.initialise([
            // Choose your scopes
        ]),
        builder: (snapshot, context) {
          if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done &&
            !snapshot.hasError) {
            return HomePage(driveHelper: driveHelper);
          } else if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done &&
            snapshot.hasError) {
            return ErrorPage(error: snapshot.error);
          } else {
            return Container(
              width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 1.5,
              height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 1.5,
              child: CircularProgrssIndicator(strokeWidth: 10),
            );
          }
        }
      ),
    );
  }
}
