How to authenticate with OAuth?

See original GitHub issue

Hello, i attempt to connect on spreedsheet with OAuth authentication but i’m blocked. I created my OAuth, and this JSON file client_id.json was downloaded.

{
    "web": {
        "client_id": "****.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "project_id": "****",
        "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
        "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
        "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
        "client_secret": "****"
    }
}

I naively use the JSON file from :

// OR load directly from json file if not in secure environment
await doc.useServiceAccountAuth(require('./creds-from-google.json'));

I just change the creds-from-google.json with client_id.json. But when i run my application i’ve got this error :

(node:12795) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: No key or keyFile set.

I wonder if there is fonction like useOAuth(). My google-spreadsheet version is 3.0.11. Thank you in advance 😃

This json document is not the same as a service account. It is possible to connect via oauth, but there is not nice built-in support and I do not have a good example. Will try to add it in the next batch of work
