### Install
```
$ yarn add  picasa
```
or
```
$ npm install --save picasa
```

### Usage
```js
const Picasa = require('picasa')

const picasa = new Picasa()
```

### Docs
API for Photos, Albums and Auth can be found [here](./docs). Please check out also the examples dir for more detailed examples. Rename `config.example.json` to `config.json` and add your own config data.

### Auth

To get an access token follow the next flow:

1.Get the Auth URL and redirect the user to it.

```js
// Get config here API Manager > Credentials https://console.developers.google.com/home/dashboard
const config = {
  clientId     : 'yourClientId',
  redirectURI  : 'redirectURI'
}

const authURL = picasa.getAuthURL(config)
```

2.Google displays a consent screen to the user, asking them to authorize your application to request some of their data.

3.Google redirects a code to your redirectURI.

4.Use the code given as GET param in order to get an access token:

```js
// Get config here API Manager > Credentials https://console.developers.google.com/home/dashboard
const config = {
  clientId     : 'yourClientId',
  redirectURI  : 'redirectURI'
  clientSecret : 'yourClientSecret'
}

picasa.getTokens(config, code).then(tokens => {
  /* use tokens.accessToken or tokens.refreshToken */
})
```

5.If you need to renew an expired `accessToken`, use the `refreshToken` with `picasa.renewAccessToken`:

```js
const config = {
  clientId     : 'yourClientId',
  redirectURI  : 'redirectURI'
  clientSecret : 'yourClientSecret'
}

picasa.renewAccessToken(config, refreshToken).then(renewedAccessToken => {
  /* do something with renewedAccessToken */
})
```

Change Log
-------
***1.0.7*** Functions return a Promise if callback is not provided. Use `getTokens` if you want to use Promises instead `getAccessToken`.

***1.0.6*** Get album, Create Album, Renew access token added. Get Photos can get all photos from an album id or all.
