Overview - Corsair

Use Google Docs through Corsair: one client, typed API calls, local DB sync, and incoming webhooks. Google Docs exposes document creation and editing, text operations, structure (headers, footers, footnotes, named ranges, bullets), tables, images, styling, and batch updates for serverless document workflows. Use Corsair permissions for destructive actions such as deleting content ranges, headers, footers, named ranges, table rows, or table columns. What you get:

35 typed API operations
1 synced entity (documents) for fast .search() / .list()
1 incoming webhook event types

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/googledocs

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/googledocs

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/googledocs

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/googledocs

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { googledocs } from '@corsair-dev/googledocs';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		googledocs(),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

Multi-tenancy is the default — scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

Choose authentication

OAuth 2.0 (Recommended)

Open hub.corsair.dev, navigate to your project, and enter the client ID and client secret from your Google Docs OAuth app.

googledocs()

More: OAuth 2.0

Connect a tenant

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see Connect / OAuth.

const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'googledocs',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

documents.exportDocumentAsPdf

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.googledocs.api.documents.exportDocumentAsPdf({});

documents.copyDocument

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.googledocs.api.documents.copyDocument({});

See the full list on the API page.

Query synced data

Synced entities support tenant.googledocs.db.<entity>.search() and .list(): documents. See Database for filters and operators.

Webhooks

This plugin registers 1 webhook event type. Configure the provider to POST to your Corsair HTTP handler, then use webhookHooks on the plugin factory. See Webhooks for every event path and payload shape, and Webhooks concept for routing.
