Google calendar api in ionic

Hey,

I’ ve been trying for almost two weeks now to integrate the google calendar api in Ionic, no luck so far…
At first I just tried to access it in plain Javascript and that was working within minutes, then I started creating my app and tried to integrate it in Ionic and I got completely lost. I’ve been trying everything I know but I just can’t figure out how to do it (I’m still new to coding)…

As a last attempt I tried using the same code I think I was using when it worked in vanilla Javascript and adapted it to typescript but this as well does not seem to work and is giving me an error

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘this.DISCOVERY_DOCS’)

Please help me :frowning:

Did you get this to work?

If not - Can you share your solution, then I will try to see if I can fix it, as I am looking for the exact same solution
