Google Sheets + GAppsScript = Database
GAppsScript is a scripting platform for light-weight application development in the Google Workspace platform. Because it is free and runs on Google platform, it is a great choice for those who want to setup a simple database without money. To achieve this, we need to attach a new script to our Google Sheet.Click “Tools -> Script Editor” on the top tool bar. Then creat a function to handle post requests:1
2
3function doPost(e) {
//Do something
}
We can get our sheet by this:1
2let SpreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("<Sheet ID>");
let Sheet = SpreadSheet.getSheets()[0];//Get first sheet
The Sheet ID can be found in sheet’s url:1
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<Sheet ID>/edit#gid=0
There are some useful APIs to interact with the sheet:1
2Sheet.getLastRow();//Get the index of the last row having value
Sheet.getRange(1, 2).setValue("123");//set the value of (row, column)

// Get data
let params = e.parameter;
let name = params.name;
let mail = params.mail;
let SpreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID");
let Sheet = SpreadSheet.getSheets()[0];
let LastRow = Sheet.getLastRow();
// Write data
Sheet.getRange(LastRow+1, 1).setValue(name);
Sheet.getRange(LastRow+1, 2).setValue(mail);
// Return
return ContentService
.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ result: 'Success', version: '1.0' }))
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
After editing done, click “Deploy->New Deployment.”1
