let OAuth2 = google.auth.OAuth2;

const oauth2Client = new OAuth2(
  MAILING_SERVICE_CLIENT_ID,
  MAILING_SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET,
  MAILING_SERVICE_REFRESH_TOKEN,
  SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS,
  OAUTH_PLAYGROUND

  • if "type": "module" in package.json do like this:

    import {google} from "googleapis";

    else

    const {google} = require("googleapis");
