Developing Google Docs Addons using Google Apps Script API: 02. Creating Documents & Adding Elements

--- Author's Note: --- Sorry about not uploading, I'm going to try to set a goal to at least upload once a week. Anyway, there isn't any good video tutorials for the Google Docs API so after learning Google Apps Script for Docs and going through the references I finally learned, and I won't keep this knowledge to myself. Also this is to learn the Google Docs API. This is a very small exercise. Eventually once you get a grip you can explore more in the Google Docs references and get a better idea of how the API works. This isn't the only video I'm releasing on the Google Docs API by the way. :) --- --- All the source code is here. I may put it on a website or something in the future. https://script.google.com/d/1-qKpiEXJwvVUQUGCtf6C75bWJIGJYjPu8nzApSu3qIPH1HTIgZyy6cvW/edit?usp=sharing If you don't know HTML and JS you need to learn that before you dive into making a google docs addon. I learned by Khan Academy, but if you want you can learn elsewhere on Codecademy, or even tutorials on youtube! https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming This time, all the atmospheric environmental music awesomeness you're hearing in the background is by Raymond Cripps. I used Opal, Metro, and Flare. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRexPboeVnvnuK0aXtHqu_Q And check out my website. https://skyriftstudios.tk/ https://skyansam.github.io/ When in doubt always check the references (even if they're hard to read) https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/document/ And check out the Google Apps Script discord. They're mostly for Google Sheets but they can help. https://discord.gg/3fd7EbB The Google Apps Script reddit can also be a good place to get help. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleAppsScript/ Thats it folks. Next video I'll talk about actually making a google docs addon and running it inside Google Docs.
