I am new to using Google script, but not completely new to programming. I have looked at some examples and they generate HTML output like this:
function doGet(e) {
return HtmlService.createHtmloutputFromFile('form.html')
}
I would like to pass a parameter to my script to use that in the output. I have gotten as far as that I can use this in the function:
var room= e.parameter.room
So when I execute my script with url?room=test I do get the value for that parameter.
But how can I use that variable room that I create in the HTML output and other code?
I have been looking at createTemplateFromFile but I am not getting anywhere.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction of what constructs and command to look at.
You can directly get query parameters client side1:
<script>
google.script.url.getLocation(function(location) {
alert(location.parameter.room); //alerts "test" on loading "url?room=test"
});
</script>
Alternatively, You can use scriplets to load html2:
function doGet(e) {
var temp = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('form');
temp.room = e.parameter.room;
return temp.evaluate();
}
<script>
alert('<?=room?>'); //Printing scriplets
</script>
