Javascript library - syncGoogleScriptRun

Overview

This is a Javascript library to use “google.script.run” with the synchronous process.

Description

When I create Web Apps, add-on using a side bar and dialog, there is the case that I want to use google.script.run with the synchronous process. As you know, google.script.run works with the asynchronous process. So in order to use it as the synchronous process, the script is required to be prepared. I also saw several issues for such situation at Stackoverflow and other sites. I thought that when the script for achieving this was prepared as a library, it might be useful for users. So I created this.

Introduction

Please be careful! This result can be only used for Google Apps Script.

There are a limit executing time for Google Apps Script (GAS). That is 6 minutes for Consumer and Google Apps free edition, and 30 minutes for G Suite and Early Access. 1 So many users always have to pay attention to reducing the process cost of scripts. So it is very important to know the process cost of various situations. I have already reported the costs for various processes as the reports. 2 In this report, the process cost for importing CSV data to Spreadsheet using GAS has been investigated.

Running Functions by Specifying Function Names with Web Apps for Google Apps Script

Gists

In this report, I would like to introduce the method for running functions by directly specifying the function names with Web Apps for Google Apps Script.

Description

It has already been known that the directly specified functions in the project can be run from the outside by enabling “API executable” and using the method of scripts.run in Google Apps Script API. In this case, the installation for using Apps Script API is a bit complicate. I think that this is making users difficult to use Apps Script API, although the important settings are including in the installation when the importance of the security is considered. As one of workarounds for making easy to run the directly specified functions in the project, I would like to introduce the method using Web Apps. When Web Apps is accessed, the functions of doGet() and doPost() are used. These are the reserved function name. But, when this method is used, the functions in the project can be run by directly selecting from the outside.

Examples of How to Derive a Signing Key for Signature Version 4 (AWS) for Google Apps Script

Gists

This is a sample script for “Examples of How to Derive a Signing Key for Signature Version 4” using Google Apps Script.

In order to use AWS SDKs, there are the sample scripts for the languages of Java, .NET (C#), Python, Ruby, JavaScript (Node.js). But the sample script of Google Apps Script is not prepared. I saw the question related to this at Stackoverflow. So I would like to also introduce the sample script here.

Parsing HTML using Google Apps Script

Gists

This is a sample script for parsing HTML using Google Apps Script. When HTML data is converted to Google Document, the HTML data can be parsed and be converted to Google Document. In this case, the paragraphs, lists and tables are included. From this situation, I thought that this situation can be used for parsing HTML using Google Apps Script. So I could came up with this method.

In the Sheet API, the HTML data can be put to the Spreadsheet with the PasteDataRequest. But unfortunately, in this case, I couldn’t distinguish between the body and tables.

Retrieving Values from Filtered Sheet in Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script

Gists

This is a sample script for retrieving values from filtered Sheet in Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. When the values are retrieved the filtered sheet by the basic filter, if setValues() and setDisplayValues() are used, all values without the filter are retrieved. In this script, I would like to introduce the method for retrieving the values from the filtered sheet using Google Apps Script.

In order to retrieve the values from the filtered sheet, one method has already been proposed. That method retrieved the values from the filtered sheet by retrieving columnMetadata and rowMetadata of the method of spreadsheet.get of Sheets API. In this case, the rows and columns hidden by the filter can be retrieved.
