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:
πΊοΈ 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.
π’ Manage Deployment Versions: Create, update, and view your multiple deployments of your project.
π 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:
tests/
slides.js
sheets.js
π· Write Apps Script in TypeScript: Write your Apps Script projects using TypeScript features:
- Arrow functions
- Optional structural typing
- Classes
- Type inference
- Interfaces
- And more...
β‘οΈ Run Apps Script: Execute your Apps Script from the command line. Features:
- Instant deployment.
- Suggested functions Autocomplete (Fuzzy)
- Easily add custom Google OAuth scopes
- And more...
First 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
clasp login
andclasp create/clone
before using the rest of the commands.

Remotely executes an Apps Script function.
The complete step-by-step information on how to use clasp run
is available here: Run
Below is a short summary:
- Log in with your credentials (
clasp login --creds creds.json
), see: Run - Prerequisites - Deploy the Script as an API executable (Easiest done via GUI at the moment).
- Enable any APIs that are used by the script, see: Run - Function with Scopes
- Have the following in your
appsscript.json
. Be sure it's pushed:
"executionApi": {
"access": "ANYONE"
}
<functionName>
: The name of the function in the script that you want to run.--nondev
: If true, runs the function in non-devMode.-p <paramString>
--params <paramString>
: A JSON string array of parameters to pass to the function
clasp run 'sendEmail'
clasp run 'addOptions' -p '["string", 123, {"test": "for"}, true]'
List available APIs. Enables and disables Google APIs.
Lists Google APIs that can be enabled as Advanced Services.
clasp apis
clasp apis list
Enables or disables APIs with the Google Cloud project. These APIs are used via services like GmailApp and Advanced Services like BigQuery.
The API name can be found using clasp apis list
.
clasp apis enable drive
clasp apis disable drive
Open the Google Cloud Console where you can view and manage API access.
clasp apis --open

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
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/**
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:
Specifies the id of the Google Script project that clasp will target.
- Open script url.
- File > Project properties > Script ID
Specifies the local directory in which clasp will store your project files. If not specified, clasp will default to the current directory.
Specifies the id of the Google Cloud Platform project that clasp will target. You must associate Google Script project with Google Cloud Platform beforehand.
- Run
clasp open
. - Click
Resources > Cloud Platform project...
. - Specify the project ID
project-id-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
.
Even if you do not set this manually, clasp will ask this via a prompt to you at the required time.
Specifies the file extension for local script files in your Apps Script project.
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 >= 8.2.1.
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
.

The main purpose of this tool is to enable local Apps Script development. If you have a core feature or use-case you'd like to see, find a GitHub issue or create a detailed proposal of the use-case. PRs are very welcome! See the issues (especially good first issue and help wanted).
- Look over the test cases in
tests/test.ts
, try cases that the PR may affect. - Run tslint:
npm run lint
. - Submit a pull request after testing your feature to make sure it works.
