Usage

The Client class takes an array as the first parameter, see example of config file below:

return [
    /*
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Google application name
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */
    'application_name' => '',

    /*
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Google OAuth 2.0 access
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Keys for OAuth 2.0 access, see the API console at
    | https://developers.google.com/console
    |
    */
    'client_id' => '',
    'client_secret' => '',
    'redirect_uri' => '',
    'scopes' => [],
    'access_type' => 'online',
    'approval_prompt' => 'auto',

    /*
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Google developer key
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Simple API access key, also from the API console. Ensure you get
    | a Server key, and not a Browser key.
    |
    */
    'developer_key' => '',

    /*
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Google service account
    |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Set the credentials JSON's location to use assert credentials, otherwise
    | app engine or compute engine will be used.
    |
    */
    'service' =>  [
        /*
        | Enable service account auth or not.
        */
        'enabled' => false,

        /*
        | Path to service account json file
        */
        'file' => '',
    ],
];

To use Google Cloud Platform services, enter the location to the service account JSON file (not the JSON string itself). To use App Engine or Computer Engine, leave it blank.

From Google's upgrading document:

Note: P12s are deprecated in favor of service account JSON, which can be generated in the Credentials section of Google Developer Console.
