Apps Script in IDE (ASIDE)

Overview

Apps Script in IDE (ASIDE) supports modern, robust and scalable Apps Script development by providing a framework for a local coding environment capable of formatting, linting, testing and much more.

Here are the main features:

• TypeScript

  Write your code in TypeScript. It will be automatically compiled and bundled when deploying

• Formatting / Linting

  Leverage the power of ESLint and Prettier to enforce a unique coding style amongst collaborators

• Testing

  Use Jest to test your code before deploying

• Multiple Environments

  Seemlessly switch between dev and prod environments to push your code to

Getting Started

The simplest way to get started is:

npx @google/aside init

What it does

After running the init command above, ASIDE will go ahead and do the following:

• Add configuration files

  E.g. for ESLint, Prettier, Jest, ...

• Set convenience scripts in package.json

  Those scripts include: lint, build and deploy, among others

• Install necessary dependencies

  Everything required for formatting, linting, testing, etc. will be installed automatically

• Set up clasp

  ASIDE is using clasp to pull and push code from and to Apps Script

Options

You can provide the init command with some convenience options:

• --yes / -y

  Answer 'yes' to all prompts

• --no / -n

  Answer 'no' to all prompts

• --title/ -t

  Set project title without being asked for it

• --script-dev

  Set Script ID for dev environment without being asked for it

• --script-prod

  Set Script ID for production environment without being asked for it
