Channel: Totally Unscripted
Date: 2018-10-13

In this episode of Totally Unscripted we look at local Google Apps Script development. As part of this Riël Notermans (Zzapps) looks at how Chrome OS devices able to run Linux apps can be used to allow local editing of Google Apps Script projects in VS Code with code autocomplete. Grant Timmerman continues the conversation demonstrating features of the Google Apps Script Command Line Interface tool, clasp, can be used to aid project development. In particular Grant highlights how clasp’s TypeScript integration allows developers to use the latest JavaScript coding syntax which is transpiled by clasp to be compatible Google Apps Script code.
