![]() ![]() However, like most temptations, it comes with a heavy cost later on. You can just click “Tools > Script editor” and then jump in and start coding immediately. That’s what makes the built-in script editor so tempting: you don’t have to set anything up or read any documentation. It’s always a chore doing the prep work necessary to be effective in a new environment when all you really want to do is jump in with both feet and start experimenting with APIs, and starting a new Google Apps Script add-on is no exception. Let’s get started: #1: Coding your Google Apps Script add-on in the built-in script editor I realize that there are traditionally seven deadly sins, but I couldn’t think of a seventh that was sufficiently sinful, so we’ll have to go with six. In particular, I’ve focused on things you might consider doing to save time or effort that will end up costing you dearly. As someone who has been down that road before, I’d like to share some of the mistakes, missteps, and blunders I’ve either fallen victim to or narrowly avoided, what I’ve learned from them, and how you can chart a course through the Google Apps Script add-on development process that bypasses them completely-without having to program in Vigil. Service-worker.js: you want to build an add-on for Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, but you’re worried about ending up on the highway to development hell? You’ve come to the right place, then. You can provide a more robust end userĮxperience by anticipating this possibility and checking for collisions at install time. Second extension's shortcut won't register as expected. If an extension attempts to register a shortcut that is already used by another extension, the Service-worker.js: ((command) => " called`) In your service worker, you can bind a handler to each of the commands defined in the manifest "description": "Run \"foo\" on the current page." Note: Key combinations that involve Ctrl+Alt are not permitted in order to avoid conflicts with the window management) always take priority overĮxtension command shortcuts and cannot be overwritten. Search is an optional modifier exclusive to ChromeOS.Ĭertain operating system and Chrome shortcuts (e.g. Shift is an optional modifier on all platforms. Using MacCtrl in the combination for another platform will cause a validation error and prevent the extension from being installed. To use the Control key on macOS, replace Ctrl with MacCtrl when defining the "mac" On macOS Ctrl is automatically converted into Command.
