🔢 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:
- On script.google.com:
tests/slides.gs
tests/sheets.gs
- locally:
🔷 Write Apps Script in TypeScript: Write your Apps Script projects using TypeScript features:

Guides
- Run
clasp open
. - Click
Resources > Cloud Platform project...
- Copy the project ID
project-id-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
into .clasp.json
. It should look like this:
{
"scriptId":"14Ht4FoesbNDhRbbTMI_IyM9uQ27EXIP_p2rK8xCOECg5s9XKpHp4fh3f",
"projectId": "project-id-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
Now you can run clasp logs
for this project.
Ignore File (.claspignore
)
Like .gitignore
, .claspignore
allows you to ignore files that you do not wish to not upload on clasp push
. Steps:
- Create a file called
.claspignore
in your project's root directory. - Add patterns to be excluded from
clasp push
. Note: The .claspignore
file is parsed with Anymatch, 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
Project Settings File (.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. The following configuration values can be used in it:
scriptId
(required)
Specifies the id of the Google Script project that clasp will target. It is the part located inbetween /d/
and /edit
in your project's URL: https://script.google.com/d/<SCRIPT_ID>/edit
.
rootDir
(optional)
Specifies the local directory in which clasp will store your project files. If not specified, clasp will default to the current directory.
fileExtension
(optional)
Specifies the file extension for local script files in your Apps Script project.
Troubleshooting
The library requires Node version >= 4.7.4. Use this script to check your version and upgrade Node if necessary:
node -v
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n latest
