New section CORS in Web Apps was added to Taking advantage of Web Apps with Google Apps Script

In this section, I would like to introduce CORS in Web Apps. As the result, in order to prevent the error related to CORS, it was found the following important points.

1. It is required to return ContentService.createTextOutput() and ContentService.createTextOutput("done") from doGet and doPost.

2. For POST method, the data is required to be converted to the string and sent to Web Apps.

In this report, I would like to report for processing to create new file to the specific folder using Drive API. When the new file is created to the specific folder using Drive API, the property of parents with the value of folder ID is included in the request body of the method “Files: create”. About this process, I had thought that the file is directly created to the specific folder. But, I could confirm that the new file is created by the following process.

This is a current workaround for putting the multiple hyperlinks to a cell using Sheets API.

Description

Recently, at Spreadsheet service, the multiple hyperlinks got to be able to be put to a cell. Ref In this case, it can be achieved using RichTextValue. On the other hand, at Sheets API, in the current stage, there are no methods for directly putting the multiple hyperlinks to a cell. And also, such methods have not been added. I believe that such methods will be added in the future update. I think that when this is implemented, it might be added to TextFormatRun.

This is a sample script for retrieving the difference between 2 arrays, which are the old values and the new values, using Google Apps Script. In my environment, I sometimes have the situation that it is required to retrieve the difference between 2 arrays. So I prepared this as a sample script. I think that this can be also used at Javascript and Node.js. If this was also useful for your situation, I’m glad.
