Easy to use Google Apps Script Spreadsheet API (using Method chaining)

• ⚡️ Installing scripts into your project Super-Fast!
• ⚡️ Easy to use, data insertion and styling
• ⚡️ Handling of external Google Sheets files
• ⚡️ Support for a variety of utility methods to simplify sheet operations

In order to properly use all configuration of clasp, you need to change the Enabled setting of Google Apps Script API to 'Enable' after logging in with your Google account on the next page: https://script.google.com/home/usersettings

The clasp package must be installed for automatic installation in Google Drive.

$ npm install -g @google/clasp

If you have set up the development environment in this project, you can install it through npm i, so you don't need to install the package globally.

You may need a clasp login before proceeding. Skip if you have already done this:

$ clasp login

You can create Google Sheets and script projects in Google Drive. We recommend running your own scripts with everything integrated.

This npm script helps you quickly and easily push scripts to your new spreadsheet file using clasp.

$ npm run create

$ clasp create

Follow the clasp's prompts to create a spreadsheet in the Google Drive top-level path. After you open that sheet, the script will be installed automatically.

Make sure a .clasp.json file is created in your project root. After that, you can install the script into the document with the command below.

$ clasp push

If you already have a Google Script project created, or if you want to add your own script files, follow the steps below.

Put the SheetIO.js file in project directory into your new Google Apps Script project file and use it.

You can also use additional App.js and Test.js files if necessary.

// Create a SheetIO instance.
const Sheet = new SheetIO();

// Create a new sheet 'Users'.
Sheet.create('Users');

// Specifies where the currently active sheet is, allowing cells to be processed.
const targetSheet = Sheet.active('Users');

// The general method is similar to that of the Google Apps Script Spreadsheet.
targetSheet.getRange(1, 1).getValue();

// Continuous use possible with method chaining.
targetSheet
  .clearAll()
  .insertLastRow([['ID', 'Name', 'Age', 'Gender', 'Created', 'Updated', 'Subscription']])
  .insertLastRow([
    ['1', 'Lee', '26', 'M', '2021-11-01', '2021-11-01', 'Y'],
    ['2', 'James', '31', 'M', '2021-10-25', '2021-11-15', 'N'],
    ['3', 'Katy', '25', 'W', '2020-09-11', '2021-05-24', 'Y'],
    ['4', 'Betty', '27', 'W', '2021-03-09', '2021-11-11', 'N'],
    ['5', 'Mike', '32', 'M', '2020-07-29', '2020-09-06', 'N']
  ]);

Related descriptions are attached to the entire method of SheetIO.js, and the main method of the default API commonly used in Spreadsheet of Google Apps Script is overridden.

Not all Spreadsheet methods may be compatible. If there is a method you would like to request, please leave an issue or send a PR.
