This is a sample flow for parsing XML data in Google Apps Script using IMPORTXML. Recently, it seems that ContentService.MimeType.XML has been removed by the Google side. By this, in the current stage, the XML data cannot be directly loaded by the Web Apps URL with IMPORTXML. From this current situation, I would like to introduce a workaround. In this workaround, the XML data in Google Apps Script is parsed by IMPORTXML of the built-in function of Google Spreadsheet. By this workaround, I thought that this will be useful for testing a custom XML data using IMPORTXML.

There is a method of ScriptApp.getService().getUrl() for obtaining the Web Apps URL in Google Apps Script.

• Before the V8 runtime is released, this method had returned the endpoint like https://script.google.com/macros/s/{deploymentId}/exec.

• After the V8 runtime was released, the endpoint of https://script.google.com/macros/s/{deploymentId}/dev was returned.

• Now, it seems that this returns https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec.

But, in the current stage, when I access this endpoint, the message of Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again. is returned. So, I tried to search the deployment ID of ### from https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec returned with current ScriptApp.getService().getUrl(). But, unfortunately, I cannot find the deployment ID. I’m worried that this might be related to the error.

Introduction

When we use HTML in the Google Apps Script project, in order to show the values from the Google Apps Script side, the HTML template is used. When I used the HTML template with a large value, I understood that the process cost can be reduced by devising a script. In this report, I would like to introduce the process cost of the HTML template using the benchmark.

This is a sample method for publishing various Google Docs files with the same URL using Google Apps Script.

By updating on May 25, 2022, the content got to be able to be embedded as a full page in the new Google site. Ref In this method, this is used.

Usage

1. Create a Google Docs.

First, as a simple sample, please create a new Google Spreadsheet. And please copy the URL like https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{spreadsheetId}/edit.

By updating on May 25, 2022, the content got to be able to be embedded as a full page in the new Google site. Ref. This is very good news for me.

For example, with this update, the Web Apps created by Google Apps Script can be published by embedding to the Google site as a full page. By this, the URL of the Google site, and Google Analytics can be used. I have already changed my Web Applications. You can see them at https://tanaikech.github.io/webapps/

This is a sample script for replacing values in the cells on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.

Sample situation

The sample situation is as follows.

Sample script

This sample script used Sheets API. So, please enable Sheets API at Advanced Google services.

function myFunction() {
  const obj = {
    sample1: "ab",
    sample2: "cd",
    sample3: "ef",
    sample4: "gh",
    sample5: "ij",
    sample6: "kl",
    sample7: "mn",
    sample8: "op",
    sample9: "qr",
  };
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  const sheetId = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1").getSheetId(); // Please set the sheet name you want to use this script.

  const requests = Object.entries(obj).map(([k, v]) => ({
    findReplace: {
      find: `(${k})`,
      matchCase: true,
      sheetId,
      replacement: `[${v}]`,
    },
  }));
  requests.push({
    findReplace: { find: ",", matchCase: true, sheetId, replacement: "" },
  });
  Sheets.Spreadsheets.batchUpdate({ requests }, ss.getId());
}

• In this script, one sheet is used. Also, you can use this script to all sheets in a Google Spreadsheet.

This is a sample script for uploading files to Google Drive with asynchronous process using Python.

Sample script

import aiohttp
import asyncio
import json

folder_id = "###" # Please set the folder ID you want to put.
token = "###" # Please set your access token.
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files"


async def workers(file):

    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        metadata = {"name": file["filename"], "parents": [folder_id]}
        data = aiohttp.FormData()
        data.add_field("metadata", json.dumps(metadata), content_type="application/json; charset=UTF-8")
        data.add_field("file", open(file["path"], "rb"))
        headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token}
        params = {"uploadType": "multipart"}
        async with session.post(url, data=data, params=params, headers=headers) as resp:
            return await resp.json()


async def main():
    # Please set the filenames and the file paths as follows.
    fileList = [
        {"filename": "sample1", "path": "./sample1.png"},
        ,
        ,
        ,
    ]
    works = [asyncio.create_task(workers(e)) for e in fileList]
    res = await asyncio.gather(*works)
    print(res)


asyncio.run(main())

• When this script is run, the files of fileList are uploaded to Google Drive with the asynchronous process.

Note

• This sample supposes that your access token can be used for uploading files to Google Drive using Drive API. Please be careful about this.

• I answered this sample script for this thread of Stackoverflow

This is a sample script for parsing JSON data array by expanding the header row using Google Apps Script.

Sample script

function myFunction() {
  const obj = [
    { key1: "value1", key2: "value2", key3: "value3" },
    { key4: "value1", key5: "value2", key6: "value3" },
    { key7: "value1", key8: "value2", key9: "value3" },
  ];

  const headers = Object.keys(
    obj.reduce((o, e) => (Object.keys(e).forEach((k) => (o[k] = true)), o), [])
  );
  const values = [headers, ...obj.map((o) => headers.map((k) => o[k] || null))];

  SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet()
    .clearContents()
    .getRange(1, 1, values.length, values[0].length)
    .setValues(values);
}

Testing

When this script is run, the following result is obtained. It is found that the header row is expanded by including all keys.

RichTextApp was updated to v1.4.0

• v1.4.0 (May 25, 2022)

  1. Added a new method of ReplaceTextToRichText. In this method, the text in a cell is converted to the richtext.

This is a sample script for exporting the Tabulator data to Google Drive using Google Apps Script.

As the sample, a dialog on Google Spreadsheet is used. So, please copy and paste the following scripts to the container-bound script of Google Spreadsheet.

Google Apps Script side: Code.gs

const saveFile = (e) => DriveApp.createFile(Utilities.newBlob(...e)).getId();

// Please run this script.
const openDialog = (_) =>
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModalDialog(
    HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile("index"),
    "sample"
  );

HTML & Javascript side: index.html

<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tabulator/5.2.4/css/tabulator.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tabulator/5.2.4/js/tabulator.min.js"
></script>

<div id="table"></div>
<input type="button" value="ok" onclick="download();" />
<script>
  const type = "csv"; // In this sample, you can select "csv" or "json".
  const filename = "sample"; // Please set the filename.

  const table = new Tabulator("#table", {
    data: [...Array(5)].map((_, i) =>
      [...Array(5)].reduce(
        (o, _, j) => ((o[`sample${j + 1}`] = `sample${i + 1}`), o),
        {}
      )
    ),
    autoColumns: true,
    downloadReady: function (fileContents, blob) {
      const fr = new FileReader();
      fr.onload = (e) =>
        google.script.run
          .withSuccessHandler((id) => console.log(id))
          .saveFile([
            [...new Int8Array(e.target.result)],
            blob.type,
            `${filename}.${type}`,
          ]);
      fr.readAsArrayBuffer(blob);
      return false;
    },
  });

  function download() {
    table.download(type, `${filename}.${type}`);
  }
</script>

• When openDialog is run with the script editor, a dialog is opened on Spreadsheet. And, you can see the table (as shown in the top of this post) and a button. When “ok” button is clicked, this table is exported as a CSV data and save it as a file in the root folder of Google Drive.
