How exactly to use updateDimensionProperties in google-spreadsheet

Question

I tried to add columns in my Google Sheet, using this . But I always get error UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: doc.updateDimensionProperties is not a function

Here is my code:

const doc = new GoogleSpreadsheet('google-id');

async function updateTable(token){
  await doc.useServiceAccountAuth(require('./credentials.json'));
  await doc.updateDimensionProperties("COLUMNS", 5, 1);
}

I believe your goal and your situation as follows.

• You want to use updateDimensionProperties() using google-spreadsheet .
• You have already been able to get and put values using Sheets API.
• You are using the latest version of google-spreadsheet.

Modification points:

• When I saw the script of "node-google-spreadsheet", it seems that updateDimensionProperties() is required to be used for sheet object. Ref
• And also, it seems that the arguments of updateDimensionProperties() are columnsOrRows , props , bounds , bounds.startIndex and bounds.endIndex .

When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.

Modified script:

From:

 await doc.useServiceAccountAuth(require('./credentials.json')); await doc.updateDimensionProperties("COLUMNS", 5, 1);

To:

 await doc.useServiceAccountAuth(require('./credentials.json')); await doc.loadInfo(); const sheet = doc.sheetsByIndex[0]; await sheet.updateDimensionProperties("COLUMNS", { pixelSize: 200 }, { startIndex: 2, endIndex: 3 });

• In this modified script, as the sample, the width of the column "C" of the 1st sheet in the Spreadsheet is changed to 200 pixels.

References:

• updateDimensionProperties of document of node-google-spreadsheet
• DimensionProperties
  • It seems that this object is used as props of updateDimensionProperties() .
