Advanced tools
Develop Apps Script projects locally using clasp (Command Line Apps Script Projects).
To get started, try out the codelab!
You can also try clasp in Gitpod, a one-click online IDE for GitHub:
🗺️ Develop Locally: clasp allows you to develop your Apps Script projects locally. That means you can check-in your code into source control, collaborate with other developers, and use your favorite tools to develop Apps Script.
🔢 Manage Deployment Versions: Create, update, and view your multiple deployments of your project.
📁 Structure Code: clasp automatically converts your flat project on script.google.com into folders. For example:
tests/slides.gstests/sheets.gstests/
slides.jssheets.js🔷 Write Apps Script in TypeScript: Write your Apps Script projects using TypeScript features:
➡️ Run Apps Script: Execute your Apps Script from the command line. Features:
- V8 support take advantage of the performance boost of Chrome JavaScript engine:
appsscript.json manifest to choose between the Rhino and V8 enginestsconfig.json with the "target": "ES2019" compiler optionFirst download clasp:
npm install -g @google/clasp
Then enable the Google Apps Script API: https://script.google.com/home/usersettings
The following command provide basic Apps Script project management.
Note: Most of them require you to

Steps:
.claspignore in your project's root directory.clasp push. Note: The .claspignore patterns are applied by multimatch, which is different from .gitignore, especially for directories. To ignore a directory, use syntax like **/node_modules/**.A sample .claspignore ignoring everything except the manifest and build/main.js:
**/**
!build/main.js
!appsscript.json
Note: The .claspignore patterns are applied relative from the rootDir.
If no .claspignore is specified, a default set of patterns is applied. This default set will only consider the appsscript.json manifest and any JavaScript, TypeScript and .html source files within the rootDir folder. Child folders other than .git and node_modules are processed.
# ignore all files…
**/**
# except the extensions…
!appsscript.json
!**/*.gs
!**/*.js
!**/*.ts
!**/*.html
# ignore even valid files if in…
.git/**
node_modules/**
.clasp.json)When running clone or create, a file named .clasp.json is created in the current directory to describe clasp's configuration for the current project. Example .clasp.json:
{
"scriptId": "",
"rootDir": "build/",
"projectId": "project-id-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"fileExtension": "ts",
"filePushOrder": ["file1.ts", "file2.ts"]
}
The following configuration values can be used:
scriptId (required)Specifies the id of the Google Script project that clasp will target.
rootDir (optional)Specifies the local directory in which clasp will store your project files. If not specified, clasp will default to the current directory.
projectId (optional)Specifies the id of the Google Cloud Platform project that clasp will target. You must associate Google Script project with Google Cloud Platform beforehand.
clasp open.Resources > Cloud Platform project....project-id-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.Even if you do not set this manually, clasp will ask this via a prompt to you at the required time.
fileExtension (optional)Specifies the file extension for local script files in your Apps Script project.
filePushOrder (optional)Specifies the files that should be pushed first, useful for scripts that rely on order of execution. All other files are pushed after this list of files.
The library requires NodeJS version >= 12.20.0.
You can check your version of NodeJS with this command.
node -v
You can use these commands to upgrade NodeJS if necessary (not on Windows):
npm install -g npm # Update npm and npx
npx n latest # use the n package to update node
Clasp supports proxies via the Google APIs Node Module.
See "Using a Proxy" and this discussion for details on how to use the proxy.
This requires using the environment variables HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY.
