Google Apps Script: how to make suggest box library to work?
- by Pythonista's Apprentice
I'm trying to add an autocomplete feature in my Google Spreadsheet using this Google Apps Script suggest box library from Romain Vialard and James Ferreira's book:
function doGet() {
// Get a list of all my Contacts
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();
var list = [];
for(var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++){
var emails = contacts[i].getEmails();
if(emails[0] != undefined){
list.push(emails[0].getAddress());
}
}
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var suggestBox = SuggestBoxCreator.createSuggestBox(app, 'contactPicker', 200, list);
app.add(suggestBox);
return app;
}
function onEdit() {
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
if( s.getName() == "my_sheet_name" ) { //checks that we're on the correct sheet
var r = s.getActiveCell();
if( r.getColumn() == 1) {
doGet();
}
}
}
But when I start editing the column 1 of "my_sheet_name" nothing hapens (if I replace doGet() for other function, this other function runs Ok). I've already installed the Suggest Box library. So, why the doGet() function doesn't work?
