Gridsome: Source Request: Google Docs plugin

[sidekaraktergendut]

Summary

Fetching Google Docs (not to confuse with Google Spreadsheet) from Drive folders. Google released Docs API a few months ago.

Basic example

Gatsby already has this plugin here : gatsby-source-google-docs

Motivation

A lot of people are using Docs already, it has first-class collaborate features and writing experience is way different than writing in markdowns. What's more, general users like bloggers with no web development might be more familiar with Google Docs than any other the source plugins Gridsome currently has, leading to simpler setup and productivity boost for writers who already used Google Docs in their workflows.

@tomtev I want to give this a try. I might get stuck or need help later on but I would like to know Gridsome core better and try to make a basic source plugin at least.

Would you prefer me to develop it as a core plugin or stand alone external plugin?

@sidekaraktergendut I have started working on the plugin and have a starting point, authentication and fetching some basic data is complete, there are a few things I need to solve and improve on but you should be able to test it at least! You can find the repo here.

I'm currently on a chromebook, and it seems codesandbox doesn't let me paste the authorization code in the terminal when gridsome develop is running. I'll try again later if I get my hands on my brother's windows laptop.

Thanks for taking this request by the way.
