Getting Started

1. Clone the repository and install npm dependencies. Please note that there are two projects that you need to install npm packages(one for the sidebar and the other one for the clasp).

   git clone https://github.com/basil2style/google-form-addon-svelte-starter my-project
   cd my-project
   npm install
   

2. Log in and authenticate with your Google account:

   
   npm run clasp:login
   

   You can also use npx for running clasp locally

3. Create a new Form project:

   
   npm run clasp:create
   

   Make sure that you've .clasp.json and appsscript.json files on the root folder before deploying.

   

4. Deploy the project:

   
   npm run deploy
   

5. Open the project:

   
   npm run clasp:open
   

   The sidebar/dist directory contains the bundled svelte code. We will copy the index.html from the dist folder to /src using the build:post script.

.claspignore

This is similar to .gitignore. You can use this to include only the necessary files.

Test the add-on on Google Form

Once you followed the steps above and have the Apps Script project open, the following steps explain how to test the add-on:

1. Click Extensions, then Select our Addon...
2. Select Open to run the HTML file.

This opens the Svelte sidebar.

Sidebar development

Navigate to the sidebar folder and develop & test the application as you would any regular Svelte application, i.e. npm run dev.

Another addon template HTML development

Settings page will open as a modal dialog in Google Form rather than sidebar ui. To update, you need to uncomment defineConfig.build.rollupOptions.input.settings line & comment out the defineConfig.build.rollupOptions.input.main. Because, the output build is not working in Google Form when combine both inputs files.

Files to note:

• sidebar/src/settings.ts
• sidebar/src/settings.html
• sidebar/vite.config.ts
• loadSettingsUI() in src/index.ts

CSS Framework

I added Pico CSS framework for this project, but you can change it to your framework

Routing

• svelte-spa-router
