如何使用带有数组的批处理技术将数据分组到 Google Sheets App Script 中的表格中以提高执行时间？

Question

As described in google app script documentation, to improve performance, it is recommended to perform batch operating by using arrays so that the time for data reading and writing can be reduced significantly with the help of setValues(Array), setFontWeights(Array),setHorizontalAlignments(Array) functions.

I wonder how to set the borders using this technique, as there is no setBorders(Array) function.

If you want to quickly set borders, enable sheet api service and adapt the following script (this is an example)

function setBorderCells() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
  const sh = ss.getActiveSheet()
  bordersUpdating(ss.getId(), sh.getSheetId(), 2, 6, 7, 8)
}
function bordersUpdating(id, gid, startRow, endRow, startColumn, endColumn) {
  const resource = {
    "requests": [
      {
        "updateBorders": {
          "range": {
            "sheetId": gid,
            "startRowIndex": +startRow - 1,
            "endRowIndex": +endRow,
            "startColumnIndex": +startColumn - 1,
            "endColumnIndex": +endColumn
          },
          "top": {
            "style": "SOLID",
            "width": 1,
            "color": {
              "blue": 1.0
            },
          },
          "bottom": {
            "style": "SOLID",
            "width": 1,
            "color": {
              "blue": 1.0
            },
          },
          "left": {
            "style": "SOLID",
            "width": 1,
            "color": {
              "blue": 1.0
            },
          },
          "right": {
            "style": "SOLID",
            "width": 1,
            "color": {
              "blue": 1.0
            },
          },
          "innerHorizontal": {
            "style": "SOLID",
            "width": 1,
            "color": {
              "blue": 1.0
            },
          },
          "innerVertical": {
            "style": "SOLID",
            "width": 1,
            "color": {
              "blue": 1.0
            },
          },
        }
      }
    ]
  }
  Sheets.Spreadsheets.batchUpdate(resource, id);
}

You can simply apply setBorder(and other functions) to a range:

SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Log")
    .getRange(1,1,5,5)
    .setBorder(true,true,true,true,true,true,
        "green",SpreadsheetApp.BorderStyle.DASHED)
