description: Emulated Google OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, Gmail, Calendar, and Drive for local development and testing. Use when the user needs to test Google sign-in locally, emulate OIDC discovery, handle Google token exchange, configure Google OAuth clients, work with Gmail messages/drafts/threads/labels, manage Calendar events, upload or list Drive files, or work with Google userinfo without hitting real Google APIs. Triggers include "Google OAuth", "emulate Google", "mock Google login", "test Google sign-in", "OIDC emulator", "Google OIDC", "Gmail API", "Google Calendar", "Google Drive", "local Google auth", or any task requiring a local Google API.

Google OAuth 2.0 / OIDC + Gmail, Calendar & Drive Emulator

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect emulation with authorization code flow, PKCE support, ID tokens, OIDC discovery, refresh tokens, plus Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive REST API surfaces.

Start

Local listeners bind to `127.0.0.1` by default. For access from containers or other machines, pass `--host 0.0.0.0` to the CLI or `hostname: '0.0.0.0'` to `createEmulator`. Configure `--base-url` or `baseUrl` for advertised URLs reachable by those clients.

# Google only
npx emulate --service google

# Default port
# http://localhost:4002

Or programmatically:

import { createEmulator } from 'emulate'

const google = await createEmulator({ service: 'google', port: 4002 })
// google.url === 'http://localhost:4002'

Environment Variable
