basic HTML page with a heading. This is typically used in the doGet()
function to serve HTML content when a web app URL is accessed.

2: Serving an HTML File

Question: How can you serve an HTML file stored in the script project?

Answer:

function doGet() {

var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Index');

the HTML content.

Question: How do you embed JavaScript in an HTML page served by

Google Apps Script?

Answer:

function doGet() {

var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('<script>alert("Hello,

world!");</script><p>Hello, world!</p>');

Explanation: This script creates an HTML output that includes JavaScript.

Note that due to Content Security Policy (CSP), certain JavaScript
practices (like inline JavaScript) may not work, and alternatives (like using
google.script.run) are recommended.

4: Using Templated HTML

Question: How can you use templated HTML to dynamically insert values
into a page?

Answer:

var template = HtmlService.createTemplate('<p>Hello, <?= userName

var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('<button

onclick="google.script.run.myFunction()">Click me</button>');

return html;

function myFunction() {

Logger.log('Button was clicked!');

Explanation: This script creates an HTML output with a button. When

clicked, it calls the server-side function myFunction() using
google.script.run.

7: Passing Data from Client to Server

Question: How do you pass data from the HTML page to a server-side
function?

Answer:

function doGet() {

var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('<input id="name"

type="text"><button
onclick="submitName()">Submit</button><script>function submitName() {
var name = document.getElementById("name").value;
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(function(response) {
console.log(response); }).processName(name); }</script>');

return html;

Logger.log('Name submitted: ' + name);

return 'Received ' + name;

Explanation: This code includes a text input and a button in the HTML.
When the button is clicked, it calls a JavaScript function submitName(),
which retrieves the input value and passes it to the server-side function
processName.

8: Incorporating Google Material Design
