Demonstrates how to refresh a Google Access Token for the Google People API. React Native

import { JsonObject, OAuth2, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
  // This example loads the JSON access token file 
  // saved by this example: Get Google People API OAuth2 Access Token

  const jsonToken = new JsonObject();
  try {
    jsonToken.loadFile('qa_data/tokens/googlePeople.json');
  } catch {
    console.log('Failed to load googlePeople.json');
    return;
  }

  // The access token JSON looks like this:

  // {
  //   "access_token": "ya29.a0AfH6S ... LAZYFUkf0",
  //   "expires_in": 3599,
  //   "refresh_token": "1//0fL_Ov ... ee0",
  //   "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts",
  //   "token_type": "Bearer"
  // }

  // Replace these with actual values.
  oauth2.clientId = 'GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID';
  oauth2.clientSecret = 'GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET';

  // Get the "refresh_token"
  oauth2.refreshToken = jsonToken.stringOf('refresh_token');

  // Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
  try {
    await oauth2.refreshAccessTokenAsync();
  } catch {
    console.log(oauth2.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
  // our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.
  jsonToken.updateString('access_token', oauth2.accessToken);

  // Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
  const sbJson = new StringBuilder();
  jsonToken.emitCompact = false;
