#100DaysOfCode Day87-90

I was stuck in how to use Google Calendar API and had little progress during these days, even forgot to tweet/blog. But did worked more than 1 hour per day!

Day 87 November 17, 2018

Today's Progress:

• Start researching how to use Google Calendar API on a public website
• Wrote a post on dev.to about my first PR

Thoughts:
I want a pomodoro timer which can automatically log the time on Google Calendar. It is working on my local but I can't find out how to securely store the API key and Client ID on a public server. Researching.

Also, I translated my blog post and posted it on dev.to. I'm grateful about this experience so I wanted to post it there.

Day 88 November 18, 2018

Today's Progress:

• Researching how to use Google Calendar API on a public website

Thoughts:
Researching how to publicly deploy a web app which uses Google Calendar API. But I'm confused. The document says it only works in the <script> tag on a html file. I'm afraid doing so discloses the API key and Cliend ID. Is it secure?

Day 89 November 19, 2018

Today's Progress:

• Researching how to use Google Calendar API on a public website

Thoughts:
I got a reply to my tweet and it seems OK to disclose the API key and Client ID of Google Calendar API, if it is restricted properly on the developer console. I was trying to hide the key and was trying to use Glitch or Firebase to store the key securely. (Such as using environment variables but didn't work as I expected)

Day 90 November 20, 2018

Today's Progress:

• Google Calendar API, start over from the sample code

Thoughts:
The code I had on my local was too messy and I couldn't understand how to organize it so I set up the 'Getting Started' sample again to understand what I need and what I don't need in order to get the API work.
