How do i read another file inside the app script project?

Question

I have this email_template.html file in my project and I don't know how to access it. I want to read the content as a string so that I can parse it.

Answer 1

you can get html as string like this:

const template = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("email_template");
const htmlOutput = template.evaluate();
const contentString = htmlOutput.getContent();
Logger.log(contentString);

Then you can parse contentString.
