'Package a Google Doc Add-on for publishing
I have an editor add-on in App script that I have developed. Everything is in a library. It uses a sidebar and help dialog using HTML Service. And it can edit the Doc from events on the sidebar. But two things I can't figure out. I've looked at various pages on Add-on but can't quite figure it out.
First how to add the Add-on menus from the librar. And second, how to handle server calls from the menu or sidebar. I have been testing as a library resource and right now the Doc Code.gs contains 2 function.
The similar questions do not answer this directly.
function onOpen() {
try {
var cpMenu = DocumentApp.getUi().createAddonMenu();
cpMenu.addItem("Side Bar","CalcPad.showSideBar");
cpMenu.addItem("Calculate","CalcPad.calculate");
cpMenu.addItem("Help","CalcPad.showHelp");
cpMenu.addToUi();
}
catch(err) {
Logger.log(err);
}
};
function runCalcPadRequest(request) {
try {
return CalcPad.runCalcPadRequest(request);
}
catch(err) {
DocumentApp.getUi().alert(err);
}
};
How do I move these to the library and configure the manifest so that they are envoked. On the sidebar there is a help button that when clicked displays the help dialog. But this requires a server call (Doc Code.gs) as shown above. google.script.run.CalcPad.runCalcPadRequest doesn't work.
function helpOnClick() {
try {
google.script.run.runCalcPadRequest({ name: "showHelp" });
}
catch(err) {
showMessage("Error in JS_Sidebar.helpOnClick: "+err);
}
};
Any advise appreciated. Thanks.
