Develop Apps Script projects locally using clasp (Command Line Apps Script Projects).
To get started, try out the codelab!
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...
First download clasp
:
sudo npm i @google/clasp -g
Then enable Apps Script API: https://script.google.com/home/usersettings
(If that fails, run this:)
sudo npm i -g grpc @google/clasp --unsafe-perm
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.

Logs the user in. Saves the client credentials to a .clasprc.json
file.
--no-localhost
: Do not run a local server, manually enter code instead.--creds <file>
: Use custom credentials. Saves a.clasprc.json
file to current working directory. This file should be private!

clasp logout
Creates a new script project. Prompts the user for the script type if not specified.
--type [docs/sheets/slides/forms]
: If specified, creates a new add-on attached to a Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, or Form. If--parentId
is specified, this value is ignored.--title
: A project title.--rootDir
: Local directory in which clasp will store your project files. If not specified, clasp will default to the current directory.--parentId
: A project parent Id.- The Drive ID of a parent file that the created script project is bound to. This is usually the ID of a Google Doc, Google Sheet, Google Form, or Google Slides file. If not set, a standalone script project is created.
clasp create
clasp create --type standalone
(default)clasp create --type docs
clasp create --type sheets
clasp create --type slides
clasp create --type forms
clasp create --type webapp
clasp create --type api
clasp create --title "My Script"

These options can be combined like so:
clasp create --title "My Script" --parentid "1D_Gxyv*****************************NXO7o" --rootDir ./dist
Clones the script project from script.google.com.

--versionNumber
: The version number of the project to retrieve.
clasp pull
clasp pull --versionNumber 23
Force writes all local files to script.google.com.
Ignores files:
- That start with a
.
- That don't have an accepted file extension
- That are ignored (filename matches a glob pattern in the
.claspignore
file)
--watch
: Watches local file changes. Pushes files every few seconds.
clasp push
clasp push --watch
Lists files that will be written to the server on push
.

.
- That don't have an accepted file extension
- That are ignored (filename matches a glob pattern in the ignore file)
clasp status
Opens the current directory's clasp
project on script.google.com. Provide a scriptId
to open a different script. Can also open web apps.
scriptId
: The optional script project to open.webapp
: open web application in a browser.
clasp open
clasp open [scriptId]
clasp open --webapp
List deployments of a script.
clasp deployments
Creates a version and deploys a script. The response gives the version of the deployment.
-V <version>
--versionNumber <version>
: The project version to deploy at.-d <description>
--description <description>
: The deployment description.-i <id>
--deploymentId <id>
: The deployment ID to redeploy.
clasp deploy
(create new deployment and new version)clasp deploy --versionNumber 4
(create new deployment)clasp deploy --desc "Updates sidebar logo."
(deploy with description)clasp deploy --deploymentId 123
(create new version)clasp deploy -V 7 -d "Updates sidebar logo." -i 456
Undeploys a deployment of a script.
deploymentId
: An optional deployment ID.
clasp undeploy
(undeploy the last deployment.)clasp undeploy "123"
Creates an immutable version of the script.
description
: description The description of the script version.
clasp version
clasp version "Bump the version."
List versions of a script.
clasp versions
Lists your most recent Apps Script projects.
clasp list # helloworld1 β xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ...
NOTE: These commands require Project ID/credentials setup (see below).
Prints out most recent the StackDriver logs. These are logs from console.log
, not Logger.log
.
--json
: Output logs in json format.--open
: Open StackDriver logs in a browser.--watch
: Retrieves the newest logs every 5 seconds.

Remotely executes an Apps Script function.
To use this command you must:
- Log in with your credentials (
clasp login --creds creds.json
) - Deploy the Script as an API executable (Easist done via GUI at the moment).
- Enable any APIs that are used by the script.
functionName
: The name of the function in the script that you want to run.nondev
: If true, runs the function in non-devMode.
clasp run 'sendEmail'
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
Displays the help function.
clasp help
Update .clasp.json
settings file.
If newValue
is omitted it returns the current setting value
settingKey
: settingKey They key in.clasp.json

: newValue The new value for the setting
clasp setting scriptId
clasp setting scriptId new-id
- 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.
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
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/",
"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. It is the part located inbetween /d/
and /edit
in your project's URL: https://script.google.com/d/<SCRIPT_ID>/edit
.
Specifies the local directory in which clasp will store your project files. If not specified, clasp will default to the current directory.
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 Node version >= 6.0.0. Use this script to check your version and upgrade Node if necessary:
node -v # Check Node version
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n latest

See the develop guide for instructions on how to build clasp
. It's not that hard!
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.
