Elevate Your Coding: Harnessing Design Patterns in Google Apps Script 🧩
Introduction
Google Apps Script is a JavaScript-based language that has access to Google Workspace-specific libraries for Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Google Drive, etc., and allows you to quickly and efficiently automate your tasks and program business applications.
GAS presents tremendous opportunities. It allows building solutions that help automate and simplify business tasks for anyone using the Google Workspace in their day-to-day jobs. You can create anything from small scripts to full-on add-ons published on the Google Workspace Marketplace that can be distributed to a potentially unlimited number of users.
GAS supports the newest version of JavaScript, which is of course really great news. And given that it’s a server-side language, we can just use all of these great new features without having them run through Babbel.
A lot of users try and quickly learn GAS and use it to make their lives easier. It’s all great, however the code we sometimes tend to come across on StackOverflow and other sites lacks best practices, hence I thought it was time to start bringing them up and I will start today with design patterns.
