Updated ggsrun to v174

  • v1.7.4 (March 11, 2020)

    1. Recently, I noticed that new Google Apps Script project of the standalone script type cannot be created by the create method of Drive API. From now, in order to create the standalone Google Apps Script project, only Google Apps Script API is required to be used. Ref By this, I updated ggsrun. So the command for creating new GAS project is not changed.

      • $ ggsrun u -p ###folderId### -f sample.gs -pn sampleGASProjectName

Drive API cannot create Google Apps Script project no longer

Gists

Today, I noticed that new Google Apps Script project of the standalone script type cannot be created by the method of Files: create in Drive API. From now, in order to manage the Google Apps Script project, only Google Apps Script API is required to be used. By this, the following issues are brought.

  • When the new standalone GAS project is created in the specific folder by uploading the local script, the following flow is required to be run.
    1. Create new standalone GAS project by Apps Script API.
    2. Put the local script to the created GAS project by updating the project with Apps Script API.
    3. Move the GAS project from the root folder to the specific folder using Drive API.

From now, 3 API calls are required to be used like above. By the way, this had been able to be achieved by one API call of the method of files.create in Drive API before.

Web Apps: Fields Builder For Google APIs

Overview

FieldsBuilderForGoogleAPIs is a Web Application for building the fields value for using Google APIs. This is mainly used for developing the scripts for using Google APIs.

Demo

Web Apps: Fields Builder For Google APIs

Description

After the API explorer was updated, the fields of APIs cannot be created by the web interface. But it is important for using the fields property. Because when the fields property is used, only the required values can be retrieved. This leads to the low cost. And even when * is used, there are some cases that all fields cannot be retrieved. So I created this as a Web Application. This web application can run with the standalone. No authorization and no scopes are required. This only creates the fields value for Google APIs.

GAS Library - RichTextApp

Overview

GAS Library - RichTextApp

This is a GAS library for copying the rich text with the text styles from Google Document to Google Spreadsheet or from Google Spreadsheet to Google Document using Google Apps Script (GAS).

Description

Google Spreadsheet can use the rich text as the cell value. But I thought that it is difficult for me to directly edit the rich text in a cell. So I wanted to copy the rich text, that I edited at the Google Document, to the cell of Google Spreadsheet. But, unfortunately, when the rich text in Google Document is manually copied to a cell in Google Spreadsheet, the text style is removed. By this, only text values are copied. It seemed that this was the current specification. So in order to achieve above, I created this as a library.

Uploading File to Google Drive using HTML and Google Apps Script

Gists

This is a simple sample script for uploading a file using the file input tag of HTML. As the important point, the file is sent as the byte array for using Google Apps Script. By this, at Google Apps Script side, the byte array can be converted to a blob using a simple script.

HTML & Javascript

<input id="file" type="file" onchange="saveFile(this)" />
<script>
  function saveFile(f) {
    const file = f.files[0];
    const fr = new FileReader();
    fr.onload = function(e) {
      const obj = {
        filename: file.name,
        mimeType: file.type,
        bytes: [...new Int8Array(e.target.result)]
      };
      google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(e => console.log(e)).saveFile(obj);
    };
    fr.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
  }
</script>

Google Apps Script

function saveFile(e) {
  var blob = Utilities.newBlob(e.bytes, e.mimeType, e.filename);
  DriveApp.createFile(blob);
  return "Done.";
}
