Question

I am trying to organize my code for a Spreadsheet in several script files. Within the script editor I can create as many *.gs files as I want, but I can’t figure out how to access code that would be defined in another script.

Simple Example of what I’d like do achieve:

Code.gs:

function onEdit(){
   myFunctionFromLibrary_gs();
} 

Library.gs:

function myFunctionFromLibrary_gs(){
   Browser.msgBox("hi there");
}

The onEdit() is obviously called by a Trigger.
Without modification this will result in a Runtime-Error, stating that

myFunctionFromLibrary_gs TypeError: is not a function, it is undefined.

So how can I make this work, or is this currently not supported?

Thx in advance for your help.

Answer 1

I don’t know what the _gs suffix means for Google, but without it (see code bellow), the code works.

file1.gs:

function onEdit(){
   myFunctionFromLibrary();
}

file2.gs

function myFunctionFromLibrary(){
   Browser.msgBox("hi there");
}
