Parser for Sending HTML Form Object to Google Apps Script using google.script.run

Overview

This is a Javascript library for sending the HTML form object to Google Apps Script using google.script.run.

Description

HTML form object is parsed by this library, and the object can be sent to Google Apps Script using google.script.run. After the V8 runtime got to be able to be used for Google Apps Script, when the file input tag is included in the HTML form object, the object sent to Google Apps Script using google.script.run cannot be directly used. Because it seems that the binary file data cannot be parsed when it is sent with google.script.run. Ref In the current stage, as the workaround, the file data is required to be sent to Google Apps Script using google.script.run after it was converted to the byte array and the base64 data. I think that this might be resolved in the future update. But I thought that as the current workaround, when the parser for converting this is prepared, it might be useful for users, because I saw the several questions which have this issue at Stackoverflow.

Description

At Google, there is a great Google Photos. Ref Recently, I was required to have a simple photo gallery. At that time, I thought that when an independence photo gallery instead of Google Photos can be used, it will be useful. Also, this might be useful for other users. So I published this.

Introduction

At Stackoverflow, a lot of people post the questions and answers to the questions every day. There are various tags in Stackoverflow. A lot of discussions are performed at each tag. Their discussions bring the important information and are much useful for a lot of people. As one of tags, there is “google-apps-script”. I sometimes discuss at the questions with that tag. When we see the discussions, we can notice that the discussions are changed and progressed by the time, because “Google Apps Script” which is the origin of the tag is updated. This report thinks this change as the trend of tag of “google-apps-script”. This trend includes the number of questions, questioners, answerers and tags adding to the tag of “google-apps-script”. The trend of tag of “google-apps-script” is deeply related to the progression of Google Apps Script and the various applications for Google Apps Script.

This is a sample script for adding the slide page link to the shape using Google Apps Script.

When I use Google Slides, there is the case that I want to jump to the specific slide on the same Google Slides. And, I have the case that I want to jump from the last slide to the 1st slide. In those cases, I had manually added the slide page link to each shape. But when the number of slides are large, I thought that when a script for achieving this is prepared, it will be useful. So I created this.

In order to achieve the resumable upload, at first, it is required to retrieve the location, which is the endpoint of upload. The location is included in the response headers. After the location was retrieved, the file can be uploaded to the location URL.

In this sample, a text data is uploaded with the resumable upload using a single chunk.

Overview

This is a report for safe-uploading files to Google Drive by HTML put in the external server using Google Apps Script.

Description

When you want to make the user upload a file to your own Google Drive using the HTML put in the external server of Google side, when the file size is smaller than 50 MB, this can be achieved without using the access token. Ref (When the HTML is put in the internal server of Google side, you can also use google.script.run.) But, when the file size is over 50 MB, it is required to upload the file with the resumable upload. In this case, the access token is required to be used. In this case that the user uploads to your own Google Drive, when the access token is used in the upload, it is considered that this is the weak point of the security. In this report, I would like to propose the method for safe-uploading files to Google Drive by HTML put in the external server using Google Apps Script. Please think of this as one of several methods.
