Description

To be placed within .onAttach to auto load an authentication file from an environment variable.

Usage

gar_attach_auto_auth(required_scopes, environment_var = "GAR_AUTH_FILE")

Value

environment_var

This function works with gar_auto_auth. It is intended to be placed within the .onAttach hook so that it loads when you load your library.

For auto-authentication to work, the environment variable needs to hold a file path to an existing auth file such as created via gar_auth or a JSON file file download from the Google API console.
