The 6 Deadly Sins of Google Apps Script Add-On Development
So 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. 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. In particular, I’ve focused on things you might consider doing to save time or effort that will end up costing you dearly. 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. Let’s get started:
#1: Coding Your Google Apps Script Add-On in the Built-in Script Editor
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. That’s what makes the built-in script editor so tempting: you don’t have to set anything up or read any documentation. You can just click “Tools > Script editor” and then jump in and start coding immediately. However, like most temptations, it comes with a heavy cost later on. The built-in script editor offers minimal source control options, bare-bones search functionality, and a text editor that will get the job done but lacks quality-of-life features like automatic closing parenthesis insertion and simultaneous multiple line indentation. It’s certainly enough to get small projects working, but once you are dealing with more than a handful of files, you will eventually reach your breaking point, and that’s when the second temptation will kick in. https://goo.gl/dNpser #DataIntegration #ML
