如何在Google Apps脚本Google Docs Extension中包括大型外部样式表和脚本

Question

I really want to use Material Design in my new Google Docs extension, but the official library's distribution contains 490 KB of CSS and JS. I want my add-on to load fast and work with Docs Offline, as well as not taking too much bandwidth.

Right now, I just have a stylesheet.html and a javascript.html , where I copy-and-pasted the external files and used templating to include them. Is there a way where I could support caching or somehow else improve speed? Thanks!

Answer 1

Caching frontend script are unavailable on Google Script for Web.

But you can put script to external HTTPS (not only http!) server and load it as external script – where is possible native caching via HTTP header ( Expires or Cache-Control ).

Is you haven't webhosting, you can use Google Cloud Storage. In Google Script editor open Resources > Google Platform project… > click to blue link with project name > hamburger menu > Storage > Browse . Here you can create bucket bounded to script's project, upload here any static files and click Share Publicly – you get URL of published script.

It is paid service, but price is very optimistics .

Never mind, I just saw that you're not supposed to use Material Design in Google Add-Ons. As such, I probably won't load any large external files.
