Google Apps Script Samples is a collection of sample code and projects for Google Apps Script, a JavaScript platform in the cloud for building applications that integrate with Google Workspace products.
The samples address the need for developers to learn how to build with Google Apps Script by providing working code examples across multiple Google Workspace services including Calendar, Classroom, Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. The repository demonstrates how to use the Apps Script platform to automate workflows, create add-ons, and integrate with Google APIs and cloud services like BigQuery and the Cloud Natural Language API.
Developers should use this repository to learn Apps Script patterns and best practices through concrete examples. The collection includes codelabs that combine detailed explanations with coding exercises, covering topics from introductory Apps Script concepts to specialized areas like Gmail add-ons and Google Chat applications. The repository is suitable for anyone building integrations with Google Workspace, whether creating document add-ons, automating administrative tasks, or connecting Workspace products to external services. The samples use the clasp command-line tool for managing Apps Script projects, allowing developers to work with version control and local development workflows.
The project maintains code quality through automated linting with ESLint and type checking via TypeScript validation. The type checking process converts Apps Script files to JavaScript and runs the TypeScript compiler to catch syntax errors and type issues using JSDoc annotations. The repository accepts contributions and maintains documentation that directs developers to the official Apps Script developer site for comprehensive platform information.
