Inbox Scanner

Scans a Gmail inbox for public Dropbox and Google Drive file links. Written using Node.js and Typescript.

I've documented how the program works in CONTRIBUTING.md.

To run the scanner

Clone repository and install dependencies

git clone http://github.com/veeral-patel/inbox-scanner && cd inbox-scanner
yarn install

Create an OAuth app

Next, we need to create an OAuth app so this program can access your inbox.

1. Visit this URL and click "Enable the Gmail API" under Step 1.

2. Select "Web server" on the "Configure your OAuth client" page" and enter http://localhost:7777/callback under "Authorized redirect URIs".

3. Then, in the next step in the wizard, click "Download Client Configuration". Save this file as credentials.json in your inbox-scanner folder.

Build and run our program

# Compiles our (TypeScript) code into JS code we can run.
yarn build

yarn start

Now, open http://localhost:9001 and follow the instructions there.

Run all (unit) tests with:

yarn build
yarn test

Developing

If you want to work on this repository, run yarn watch:build to continually build your Typescript code.
