Request a setting example.

Would you please put a config example in the readme to show how to set up xoauth2? That will be really helpful. Thanks

The documentation is in M-x describe-variable auth-source-xoauth2-creds - including setting it up on Google's side. Did you find anything missing there?

I use the following in my .emacs:

(require 'auth-source-xoauth2)

(defun my-xoauth2-get-secrets (host user port)
  (when (and (string= host $hostname)
             (string= user $username))
    (list
     :token-url "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
     :client-id (auth-source-pass-get 'secret $location-in-pass)
     :client-secret (auth-source-pass-get 'secret $location-in-pass)
     :refresh-token (auth-source-pass-get 'secret $location-in-pass))))

(setq auth-source-xoauth2-creds 'my-xoauth2-get-secrets)
(add-to-list 'smtpmail-auth-supported 'xoauth2)
(auth-source-xoauth2-enable)

Of course you have to replace the $-prefixed names with your values. I'm using an own function for auth-source-xoauth2-creds, because I have the xoauth2 secrets in separate pass entries.

Maybe we can add some copy&paste-ready .emacs snippet to the package's comment section?

That is very helpful! Please add to the readme.

Thanks for the example. I'm not sure I'd go so far as recommending the use case for having the secrets in different pass entries for all the values. The auth-source-xoauth2-pass-creds function provided in the package does the same thing, but with all the entries in one pass file.

The copy-and-paste suggestion is good, thanks.

As far as README documentation, I feel it is a duplicate of what should be in the package documentation. In the Emacs spirit, that's where we should clarify any questions.
