sheetsu-node

Installation

npm install sheetsu-node --save

Usage

Generating a Client

You need to create a new sheetsu function, and populate it with your Sheetsu API URL. You can find this URL on Sheetsu Dashboard.

var sheetsu = require('sheetsu-node');

// create a config file
var config = {
  address: '020b2c0f',
};

// Create new client
var client = sheetsu(config);

for ES6

import sheetsu from 'sheetsu-node';

// create a config file
var config = {
  address: '020b2c0f',
};

// Create new client
var client = sheetsu(config);

If you have HTTP Basic Authentication turned on for your API, you should pass api_key and api_secret here, like:

// create a config file
var config = {
  address: '020b2c0f',
  api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  api_secret: 'YOUR_API_SECRET',
};

// Create new client
var client = sheetsu(config);

CRUD

Sheetsu gives you the ability to use full CRUD on your Google Spreadsheet. Remember to populate the first row of every sheet with column names. You can look at example spreadsheet.

Create

Link to docs

To add data to Google Spreadsheets, send a hash or an array of hashes.

// Adds single row
client.create({ id: 7, name: "Glenn", score: "69" }).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

/// Adds bunch of rows
rows = [
  { id: 7, name: "Glenn", score: "69" },
  { id: 8, name: "Brian", score: "77" },
  { id: 9, name: "Joe", score: "45" }
]
client.create(rows).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

By default, all writes are performed on the first sheet (worksheet). Pass name of a sheet as a 2nd param to add data to other worksheet.

// Adds single row to worksheet named "Sheet3"
client.create({ id: 7, name: "Glenn", score: "69" }, "Sheet3").then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

On success returns a hash or an array of hashes with created values.

Read

Link to docs

Read the whole sheet

client.read({ limit, offset, search, sheet }).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

You can pass hash with options

• limit - limit number of results
• offset - start from N first record
• search - hash with search params (more below)
• sheet - get data from named worksheet

// Get first two rows from worksheet named "Sheet2"
client.read({ limit: 2, sheet: "Sheet2" }).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

// Get 5th and 6th record from worksheet named "Sheet3"
client.read({ limit: 2, offset: 4, sheet: 'Sheet3' }).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

search

Link to docs

To get rows that match search criteria, pass a hash with search params

// Get all rows where column 'id' is 'foo' and column 'value' is 'bar'
client.read({ search: { id: "foo", value: "bar" } }).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

// Get all rows where column 'First name' is 'Peter' and column 'Score' is '42'
client.read({ search: { 'first name': 'Peter', 'Score': 42 } }).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});


// Get first two row where column 'First name' is 'Peter',
// column 'Score' is '42' from sheet named "Sheet3"
client.read({
  limit: 2,
  search: { 'first name': 'Peter', 'Score': 42 },
  sheet: 'Sheet3'
}).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

On success returns an array of hashes.

Update

Link to docs

To update row(s), pass column name and its value which is used to find row(s).

client.update(columnName, value, newRow, updateWhole, sheet).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

// Update all columns where 'name' is 'Peter' to have 'score' = 99 and 'last name' = 'Griffin'
client.update(
  'name', // column name
  'Peter', // value to search for
  { 'score': 99, 'last name': 'Griffin' } // hash with updates
).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

By default, PATCH request is sent, which is updating only values which are in the hash passed to the method. To send PUT request, pass 4th argument being true. Read more about the difference between PUT and PATCH in our docs.

// Update all columns where 'name' is 'Peter' to have 'score' = 99 and 'last name' = 'Griffin'
// Empty all cells which matching, which are not 'score' or 'last name'
client.update(
  'name', // column name
  'Peter', // value to search for
  { 'score': 99, 'last name': 'Griffin' }, // hash with updates
  true // nullify all fields not passed in the hash above
).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

To perform #update on different than the first sheet, pass sheet name as a 5th argument.

// Update all columns where 'name' is 'Peter' to have 'score' = 99 and 'last name' = 'Griffin'
// In sheet named 'Sheet3'
// Empty all cells which matching, which are not 'score' or 'last name'
client.update(
  'name', // column name
  'Peter', // value to search for
  { 'score': 99, 'last name': 'Griffin' }, // hash with updates
  true, // nullify all fields not passed in the hash above
  'Sheet3'
).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

On success returns an array of hashes with updated values.

Delete

Link to docs

To delete row(s), pass column name and its value which is used to find row(s).

// Delete all rows where 'name' equals 'Peter'
client.delete(
  'name', // column name
  'Peter' // value to search for
).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

You can pass sheet name as a 3rd argument. All operations are performed on the first sheet, by default.

// Delete all rows where 'foo' equals 'bar' in sheet 'Sheet3'
client.delete(
  'name', // column name
  'Peter', // value to search for
  'Sheet3'
).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

If success returns :ok symbol.
