This module provides functions to obtain Google ID tokens, formatted as "Bearer" tokens,
for use in the "Authorization" header of HTTP requests.

Example User Experience:
import { ToolboxClient } from '@toolbox-sdk/core';
import { getGoogleIdToken } from '@toolbox-sdk/core/auth'

const URL = 'http://some-url'
const getGoogleIdTokenGetter = () => getGoogleIdToken(URL);
const client = new ToolboxClient(URL, null, {"Authorization": getGoogleIdTokenGetter});
*/

import {GoogleAuth, IdTokenClient} from 'google-auth-library';

const auth = new GoogleAuth();
const clientCache: {[key: string]: IdTokenClient} = {};

export async function getGoogleIdToken(url: string) {
  let client = clientCache[url];
  if (!client) {
    client = await auth.getIdTokenClient(url);
    clientCache[url] = client;
  }
  const id_token = await client.idTokenProvider.fetchIdToken(url);
  return `Bearer ${id_token}`;
}
