# Google Sheets Sync
Adapter for data_sync that imports Google Sheets rows into any entity, with scheduled sync and an experimental two-way export.
Use when a team keeps data in Google Sheets and needs it imported into app records without writing code.

## Install plan (0.9)
1. yarn mercato module add @northbound-run/sync-google-sheets@0.2.0 --allow-third-party
   - integrations is on in a new app on 0.9: nothing to enable.
   - data_sync is on in a new app on 0.9: nothing to enable.
2. yarn generate
3. yarn db:migrate (ask the user first)
4. Grant these permissions to roles the user names: sync_google_sheets.view, sync_google_sheets.connect, sync_google_sheets.configure, sync_google_sheets.run

In an app from the empty preset:
1. yarn mercato module enable @open-mercato/core --module integrations
2. yarn mercato module enable @open-mercato/core --module data_sync
3. yarn mercato module add @northbound-run/sync-google-sheets@0.2.0 --allow-third-party
4. yarn generate
5. yarn db:migrate (ask the user first)
6. Grant these permissions to roles the user names: sync_google_sheets.view, sync_google_sheets.connect, sync_google_sheets.configure, sync_google_sheets.run

Agent policy (0.9): ask. Third-party code runs with access to all tenants' data.
Consent: the user types "Install @northbound-run/sync-google-sheets@0.2.0".

# @northbound-run/sync-google-sheets

A standalone Open Mercato Data Sync adapter that connects Google Sheets to any entity in your Open Mercato app. Import rows on demand, run them on a schedule, or keep a sheet and your entity store in sync bidirectionally — all without touching this package's source. The adapter is entity-agnostic: it delegates writes to a pluggable `EntityWriter` registry, so teams can support their own entity types from their own module's `di.ts` without forking the package.

The adapter ships in three increments: **Increment 1** (import + OAuth) is production-ready today. **Increment 2** adds scheduled sync by reusing the core `SyncSchedule` primitive. **Increment 3** completes the export and bidirectional path with per-row conflict policies — the export engine design is first-of-kind within the Data Sync framework.

---

## Requirements

- An Open Mercato app on `@open-mercato/core` **0.6.x** or later (the `data_sync` and `integrations` modules must be enabled)
- Node.js **24** or later (the package builds for the `node24` target and uses native `fetch` and other modern Node APIs)
- A Google Cloud project with an **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** (Web application type), the **Google Sheets API** enabled, and the **Google Drive API** enabled

---

## Install

### 1. Add the package

```bash
yarn add @northbound-run/sync-google-sheets
```

The package declares `@open-mercato/core` / `@open-mercato/shared` as **peer dependencies** — your app provides them. This matters: the Data Sync adapter registry is process-global, so a second, nested copy of core installed under this package would leave the adapter invisible to queue workers.

### 2. Register the module

Add one line to `src/modules.ts` in your Open Mercato app:

```ts
// src/modules.ts
import { enabledModules } from './modules-base'

export default [
  ...enabledModules,
  { id: 'sync_google_sheets', from: '@northbound-run/sync-google-sheets' },
]
```

### 3. Generate and migrate

Run these commands in a fresh container or terminal (not while the dev server is running the first time):

```bash
yarn generate
yarn db:migrate
```

`yarn generate` picks up the new module's entities, routes, and navigation entries. `yarn db:migrate` applies the migration the module ships, which creates two metadata tables — `sync_google_sheets_bindings` (one row per sheet↔entity binding) and `sync_google_sheets_content_hashes` (the echo-prevention sidecar for bidirectional sync). OAuth tokens are **not** stored in a module-owned table; they live in the framework's integration credential store (see [How It Works](#how-it-works)).

## Google OAuth Setup

### Create an OAuth 2.0 Client

1. Open [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/) and select your project (or create one).
2. Go to **APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth 2.0 Client ID**.
3. Choose **Web application**.
4. Under **Authorized redirect URIs** add:
   ```
   https://<your-app-origin>/api/sync_google_sheets/oauth/callback
   ```
   For local development also add:
   ```
   http://localhost:3000/api/sync_google_sheets/oauth/callback
   ```
5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** — you will need them for the environment variables below.

### Enable APIs

In **APIs & Services → Library**, enable:
- **Google Sheets API**
- **Google Drive API** (used to resolve spreadsheet metadata and list available sheets)

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GOOGLE_SHEETS_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` | Yes | OAuth 2.0 Client ID from Google Cloud Console |
| `GOOGLE_SHEETS_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` | Yes | OAuth 2.0 Client Secret |
| `GOOGLE_SHEETS_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI` | Yes | Must match the redirect URI registered in Google Cloud Console (e.g. `https://app.example.com/api/sync_google_sheets/oauth/callback`) |
