# TypeScript typings for Google Slides API v1 An API for creating and editing Google Slides presentations. For detailed description please check [documentation](https://developers.google.com/slides/). ## Installing Install typings for Google Slides API: ``` npm install @types/gapi.client.slides@v1 --save-dev ``` ## Usage You need to initialize Google API client in your code: ```typescript gapi.load("client", () => { // now we can use gapi.client // ... }); ``` Then load api client wrapper: ```typescript gapi.client.load('slides', 'v1', () => { // now we can use gapi.client.slides // ... }); ``` Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources: ```typescript // declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console var client_id = '', scope = [ // View and manage the files in your Google Drive 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', // View the files in your Google Drive 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly', // View and manage your Google Slides presentations 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations', // View your Google Slides presentations 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations.readonly', // View and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets', // View your Google Spreadsheets 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly', ], immediate = true; // ... gapi.auth.authorize({ client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate }, authResult => { if (authResult && !authResult.error) { /* handle succesfull authorization */ } else { /* handle authorization error */ } }); ``` After that you can use Google Slides API resources: ```typescript /* Applies one or more updates to the presentation. Each request is validated before being applied. If any request is not valid, then the entire request will fail and nothing will be applied. Some requests have replies to give you some information about how they are applied. Other requests do not need to return information; these each return an empty reply. The order of replies matches that of the requests. For example, suppose you call batchUpdate with four updates, and only the third one returns information. The response would have two empty replies: the reply to the third request, and another empty reply, in that order. Because other users may be editing the presentation, the presentation might not exactly reflect your changes: your changes may be altered with respect to collaborator changes. If there are no collaborators, the presentation should reflect your changes. In any case, the updates in your request are guaranteed to be applied together atomically. */ await gapi.client.presentations.batchUpdate({ presentationId: "presentationId", }); /* Creates a new presentation using the title given in the request. Other fields in the request are ignored. Returns the created presentation. */ await gapi.client.presentations.create({ }); /* Gets the latest version of the specified presentation. */ await gapi.client.presentations.get({ presentationId: "presentationId", }); ```
