Getting started with TMS FNC Cloud Google People
Prerequisites
- TMS FNC Core installed and the runtime package added to the project.
- TMS FNC Cloud Pack installed.
- A Google account and an OAuth 2.0 client (client ID and secret) created in the Google Cloud console with the People API enabled.
Add the component
- Drop
TTMSFNCCloudGooglePeopleonto a form or create it in code. - Set the OAuth credentials (
Authentication.ClientID,Authentication.Secret,Authentication.CallBackURL). - Persist tokens and call
Connect; onceOnConnectedfires, callGetContactsorGetGroups.
The minimal connect sequence — credentials, token persistence, and an
OnConnected handler that saves the tokens and signals when requests are safe:
procedure TForm1.SetupPeople;
begin
FPeople := TTMSFNCCloudGooglePeople.Create(Self);
// OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Google Cloud console (People API enabled).
FPeople.Authentication.ClientID := '<your-client-id>.apps.googleusercontent.com';
FPeople.Authentication.Secret := '<your-client-secret>';
FPeople.Authentication.CallBackURL := 'http://127.0.0.1:8000';
// Persist tokens so the consent screen only appears on first run.
FPeople.PersistTokens.Location := plIniFile;
FPeople.PersistTokens.Key := TTMSFNCUtils.AddBackslash(TTMSFNCUtils.GetDocumentsPath)
+ FPeople.ClassName + '.ini';
FPeople.LoadTokens;
FPeople.OnConnected := PeopleConnected;
FPeople.Connect; // opens the browser for consent on first run, then fires OnConnected
end;
procedure TForm1.PeopleConnected(Sender: TObject);
begin
// Save the freshly obtained tokens, then it is safe to call GetContacts/GetGroups.
FPeople.SaveTokens;
end;
