Google Appscript Deploy

A repo that automatically deploys to Google Appscript using clasp and Github Actions.

Setup

1. Install clasp globally using npm:

npm install -g @google/clasp

2. Login to clasp:

clasp login

3. Create two new Google Appscripts project (so you can have one for development and one for production):

clasp create --type standalone --title "[DEV] Google Appscript Deploy" # This will create a new project and a .clasp.json file
mv .clasp.json .clasp.dev.json # Rename the .clasp.json file to .clasp.dev.json

# Repeat the above steps for production
clasp create --type standalone --title "[PROD] Google Appscript Deploy"
mv .clasp.json .clasp.prod.json

Don't forget to update rootDir in those .clasp files to point to the correct directory and file extension. (e.g. rootDir: "src" and fileExtension: "ts")

-> See clasp's Typescript doc to see what can be done (for example, Google Appscript does not support ES modules.)

Github Actions Setup :

• Copy content from ~/.clasprc.json after using clasp login and add it to CLASPRC secret in github

Usage

You can now start developing your Google Appscript project locally and use Github Actions to automatically deploy to Google Appscript.

If you want to deploy manually, you can use the following commands:

clasp push
# Then to open and execute the script in the browser:
clasp open

But you will need to have a .clasp.json file in your project root directory. (You can copy the .clasp.dev.json file that you generated and rename it to .clasp.json for example.)
