This is a sample script for converting from the string value to the hex value, from the hex value to the byte array, from the byte array to the string value using Google Apps script.
When the creation of a signature for requesting and the encryption of data are used, there is the case that these conversions are required to be used. So I would like to introduce these scripts as sample scripts.
The sample scripts for using Google Forms API have been published by cschalk-goog. The scripts include the method for basically requesting to Forms API. This information will be very useful for a lot of users.
This is a sample script for achieving the pseudo OnEdit trigger for Google Spreadsheet without the simple and the installable triggers using Google Apps Script.
Today, I saw a question at Stackoverflow. The goal of this question is as follows.
I thought a workaround for achieving this goal.
In the current stage, unfortunately, when the owner of Google Spreadsheet is the service account. The Google Apps Script cannot be run. By this, even when onEdit function is put to the script editor, this script cannot be run. It seems that this is the current specification of the Google side. Unfortunately, in the current stage, this goal cannot be directly achieved.
On October 12, 2021, Google Forms API had been announced. Ref On December 7, 2021, Google Forms API had been released as open beta. Ref In the current stage, when the users join the Early Adopter Program, they can use Google Forms API of the beta version. Ref
By using Google Forms API, what Google Forms service cannot achieve got to be able to be achieved by Google Forms API. In this report, I would like to introduce how to use Google Forms API and the sample script of the situations which cannot be achieved by Google Forms service.
Now, Google Forms API can be used in open beta. The official post is https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2021/12/google-forms-api-now-available-in-open.html.
After V8 runtime was released, there was a bug that when the file is sent from HTML form to Google Apps Script side using google.script.run, the file blob was the invalid data.
From Apps Script Pulse by Martin Hawksey, it was found that the invalid blob of sending the file of HTML form to Google Apps Script side using google.script.run has finally been resolved. In this case, this script can be used with V8 runtime.
This is a sample script for retrieving the data from Content-Type of ’text/event-stream’ using Javascript and Google Apps Script.
In the current stage, UrlFetchApp of Google Apps Script cannot be retrieved the data from Content-Type of ’text/event-stream’. This sample script can be used for achieving this as a workaround.
This sample script uses EventSource. So this script uses a dialog on Google Docs files (This sample uses Google Spreadsheet.).
Create new Google Spreadsheet.
This is a sample script for achieving the pseudo OnEdit trigger for Google Document using Google Apps Script.
In the current stage, there is not OnEdit trigger for Google Document. Ref But I sometimes have the case that I want to use OnEdit trigger. So, as the current workaround, I created this sample script. I think that this workaround can be also used for Google Slides, Google Form and also Google Spreadsheet. In the case of Spreadsheet, what the existing OnEdit trigger and the time-driven trigger cannot do can be achieved.
This is a workaround for converting the range ID to the range object on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.
When the named range is put to a cell as the hyperlink as follows,
the hyperlink is like #rangeid=123456789. When this link is clicked, it moves to the cells of the named range. So it is considered that this value of #rangeid=123456789 includes the information about the range of the named range. But, unfortunately, in the current stage, there is no methods for directly retrieving the range object from the range ID. In this sample sample script, as a workaround, the range ID is converted to the range object using Google Apps Script.
This is a sample script for exporting all thumbnail images retrieved from Google Slides as a zip file using Google Apps Script.
Before you use this script, please enable Slides API at Advanced Google services. Ref
function myFunction() {
const presentationId = "###"; // Please set Google Slides ID.
const folderId = "###"; // Please set the folder ID.
const outputFilename = "###"; // Please set the output filename.
const blobs = SlidesApp.openById(presentationId)
.getSlides()
.map((e, i) =>
UrlFetchApp.fetch(
Slides.Presentations.Pages.getThumbnail(
presentationId,
e.getObjectId(),
{
"thumbnailProperties.mimeType": "PNG",
"thumbnailProperties.thumbnailSize": "LARGE",
}
).contentUrl
)
.getBlob()
.setName(`page${("000" + (i + 1)).slice(-3)}.png`)
);
DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId).createFile(
Utilities.zip(blobs).setName(outputFilename + ".zip")
);
}
