# Google Objects
Thin, pythonic OO wrapper around Google's "google-api-python-client" library.
Currently supports Python 3+

## Installation
```bash
$ pip install google-objects
```

## Usage
Requires a valid Google API Credentials object from Google's excellent oauth2lib library. For more information, visit [here](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2).

### Google Drive v3

- Retrieve drive 'About' information:

```python
from google_objects import DriveClient

gdrive = DriveClient(OAUTH2LIB_CREDS)
about = gdrive.get_about()

print(about.email)
print(about.name)

# prints link to profile photo
print(about.photo)

# ...
```

- List files in drive by type:

```python
files_by_type = {
'slides': gdrive.list_files('presentation'),
'folders': gdrive.list_files('folder'),
'spreadsheets': gdrive.list_files('spreadsheets'),
}

for file in files_by_type['folders']:
print(file.id)
print(file.name)

for file in files_by_type['spreadsheets']:
# prints list of parent folder IDs
print(file.parents)

# ...
```

- Copy and share file:

```python
file = gdrive.get_file('FILE_ID')
new_file = file.copy('NEW_FILE_NAME', ['PARENT_FOLDER_1', 'PARENT_FOLDER_2'])

# allow myfriend@hotmail.com to view
permission = new_file.add_permission('myfriend@hotmail.com')

# print newly created permission information
print(permission.role, permission.type, permission.email)
```

### Google Slides v1

- Retrieve presentation and loop through elements:

```python
from google_objects import SlidesClient

gslides = SlidesClient(OAUTHLIB_CREDS)
presentation = gslides.get_presentation('PRESENTATION_ID')

# print slides attributes
for slide in presentation:
print(slide.id)

for element in slide: # equivalent to 'for element in presentation.elements()'
print(element.type)
# Shape, Table, etc
```

- Check text in shape:

```python
shape = presentation.get_element_by_id('SHAPE_ID')
for segment in shape.text:
print(segment.text)
```

- Batch update every cell in table:

```python
# use with to perform batch updates in block
with presentation as pres:
table = pres.get_element_by_id('TABLE_ID')
for cell in table:
print(cell.location) # tuple containing cell location
for segment in cell.text:
# update cell
segment.text = 'UPDATED_VALUE'
```

### Google Sheets v4

- Retrieve spreadsheet and loop through sheets:

```python
from google_objects import SheetsClient

gsheets = SheetsClient(OAUTHLIB_CREDS)
spreadsheet = gsheets.get_spreadsheet('SPREADSHEET_ID')

for sheet in spreadsheet:
print(sheet.id, sheet.title)
```

- Get sheet by name and return its full block of values:

```python
sheet = spreadsheet['Sheet 1']
values = sheet.values()
```

- Get named range value block:

```python
named_ranges = spreadsheet.named_ranges('SHEET_NAME!A:C')
for rng in named_range:
values = named_range.get_block()
```

- Update values block:

```python
values = spreadsheet.get_range('SHEET_NAME!A:C')
# loop through rows
for i, row in enumerate(values):
values[i] = [1, 2, 3]
print(row)
values.update()

# you can also use the slice syntax for updating..
values[2:5] = [[1,2,4], [4, 5, 6], [6, 7, 8]]
values.update()
```

- Append to values block:

```python
to_append = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
values.append(to_append)
```
