Getting File Metadata from Google API V3 in Typescript (React Native)

Question

I am using react-native-google-drive-api-wrapper This wrapper facilitates the use of the google drive api..

import GDrive from "react-native-google-drive-api-wrapper";

This should be the line that to get content of the file:

let result = await GDrive.files.get(fileID, { alt: "media" });

And by removing the { alt: "media" }, I should get all the metadata list

I tried to get metadata by this line:

let result = await GDrive.files.get(fileID);

but I get this error:

WARN Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 5): TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'Object.keys(queryParams)')

P/S: I want to get the description of the files

Answer 1

You can use the @robinbobin/react-native-google-drive-api-wrapper

To get file metadata

import {GDrive} from "@robinbobin/react-native-google-drive-api-wrapper";

const gDrive = new GDrive();
gDrive.accessToken = (await GoogleSignin.getTokens()).accessToken;

const queryParameters = {fields:'*'};
gDrive.files.getMetadata("fileId", queryParameters).then(res => console.log(res));
