edit

You can utilize gapi in your extension developed through Angular in the following ways:

1. Install the gapi client library using npm in your Angular project.

2. After successful installation, import the gapi module in your component to use its authentication, calendar, drive or people services.

3. Configure the gapi client module in your component by passing client ID, API key, discovery docs, and scopes.

4. Use the gapi services in your component by calling API methods such as gapi.auth2.init(), gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance(), gapi.client.load(), etc., based on the service you want to utilize.

5. Handle the API response using Promises or Observables and render the data accordingly.

6. To make authenticated API calls, obtain an access token using gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().currentUser.get().getAuthResponse().access_token() and pass it as the bearer token in your API request header.

7. Implement error handling, especially for authentication errors or HTTP responses with errors.

By utilizing gapi in your extension, you can integrate various Google services, and their functionalities to enhance user experience.
