Google_Spreadsheet_RESTful

Easy and flexible to get data from spreadsheet and post data to it. Ajax only, no hidden iframe, no need a google form, the data explosure doGet() has been eliminated.

##Build the Environment

  1. Open a google spreadsheet, open the App Script editor, name your worksheet "Sheet1"(later you can modify it)

  2. Open a project, then paste the appscript.js into a blank .gs file.

  3. Save it, choose the function "setup" to run.

  4. Publish > Deploy as web app > Enter Project Version name and click 'Save New Version'.

  5. Set security level "anyone, even anonymously" and enable service.

  6. Copy the application url, which is the url used by ajax.

##Essential Settings The global variable "SHEET_NAME" must correspond to an exist sheet; however, it can switch to another after using the api.

##APIs provided Use the file "appscript.js"

###The usage of GET with ajax

$.get(api, {query: JSON.stringify(query_obj)}, function(response){ /*stmt*/ });
var query_obj = {
  SHEET_NAME: "sheetname",
  SELECT_DATA: [
    {
      header1: "something",
      header2: value
    },
    {
      header1: "something",
      header2: value
    },
    {
      header1: "something",
      header2: value
    }
  ],
  SELECT_COLUMN: [
    "header1", "header2", "header3"
  ]
}

#####1. select all data at default sheet(just as mentioned above)

var query_obj = {} | [] | "string";

Well, just pass something which is not null :D

// If ajax success, it returns
[
  {
    header1: "aaa",
    header2: 1
  },
  {
    header1: "bbb",
    header2: 2
  },
  {
    header1: "ccc",
    header2: 3
  }
  // and so on
]

#####2. select some rows by specific column

var query_obj = {
  SELECT_COLUMN: [
    "name", "age" 
  ]
};

// If ajax success, it returns
[
  {
    name: "David",
    age: 22
  },
  {
    name: "Lisa",
    age: 17
  },
  {

  }
  // and so on
]

  SELECT_DATA: [
    {
      date: "2015/12/25",

    }
  ]
};

// If ajax success, it returns
[
  {
    date: "2015/12/25",
    customer: "John",
    post_num: "11008",
    address: "臺北市信義區市府路1號",

    address: "高雄市苓雅區四維三路2號",
