[您知道”GCPUG”要怎麼唸嗎？為什麼會有一隻狗在 Logo裡面呢？ ]

Google Cloud Platform User Group的縮寫是GCPUGGCPUG直接唸成G.C.P.U.G？當然可以！

但它也可以分開來，唸成 G.C. PUG喔～

Pug，指的是巴哥犬，所以 GCPUG的Logo中間才會有一隻可愛的巴哥犬喲。

下次聽到別人說G.C. PUG 的時候，您就可以大聲說：「我也是G.C. PUG社團成員！」

// Get the active spreadsheet and the active sheet

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();

// Get the range of cells that store employee data.

var libraryDataRange = sheet.getRange(range);

var libraryObjects = getRowsData(sheet, libraryDataRange, 1);

libraryObjects.forEach(function (row, index) {

var latlng = getLatitudeLongitude(row.address)

if (latlng) {

sheet.getRange(index + 2, 5, 1, 1).setValue(latlng.lat);

sheet.getRange(index + 2, 6, 1, 1).setValue(latlng.lng);

}

});

}

Type of Scripts - Web Apps and Site Gadgets

Web Apps and Site GadgetsIf you build a user interface for a script, you can publish the script as a web app◉ It contains a doGet(e) and

doPost(e) function.◉ The function returns an

HTML service HtmlOutput object or a Content service TextOutput object.

Type of Scripts - Web Apps and Site Gadgets. continue

function doGet() {

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1QgsaX4Vn_lIwLFRC_iHs6gmJYIP4y-35nVqQOpz4B0s');

var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];

// Get the range of cells that store employee data.

var employeeDataRange = ss.getRangeByName("employeeData");

// For every row of employee data, generate an employee object.

var employeeObjects = getRowsData(sheet, employeeDataRange);

return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(employeeObjects)).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);

Study CasesLet’s start with the second set of slides 2

Coffee map

function getLatitudeLongitude(address) {

var geocode = Maps.newGeocoder().geocode(address);

if (geocode.results.length)

return geocode.results[0].geometry.location;

else

return null;

}

i18n helper

function exportJson(data) {

google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(handleDownload)

.withFailureHandler(showError).exportJobs(data);

}

function handleDownload(data) {

var blob = new Blob([new Uint8Array(data.content)], { type: "octet/stream" });

var link = document.createElement('a');

link.download = data.fileName;

link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);

link.click();

$('#export').text('Export')

}

i18n helper. continuefunction exportJobs(data) {

var blobs = [];

...

data.columns.forEach(function (column) {

blobs.push(getBlob(ss, data.sheet, column.name, parseInt(column.index, 10) + 1));

})

var now = new Date();

var datetime = Utilities.formatDate(now, 'Asia/Taipei', 'yyyyMMddHHmm');

var fileName = ass.getName() + "_" + ss.getName() + "_i18n_" + datetime + ".zip";

var zip = Utilities.zip(blobs, fileName);

return {

fileName: fileName,

content: zip.getBytes(),

}

}

function getBlob(ss, sheetName, columnName, columnIndex) {

content = getContent(ss, columnName, columnIndex)

return Utilities.newBlob(content, "text/javascript", columnName + ".js")

}
