A popular linting engine that analyzes your JavaScript code for correctness and highlights the errors in real time before you even compile the code, thus reducing the development time.

Setting up a modern development environment for building Google Apps Script projects is easy and quick. You also need to install Node.js which includes the npm package manager.

cd apps-script-simple-starter 
npm install

2. Log in to Google clasp and authorize with your Google account.

npx clasp login

3. Replace the "scriptId" value in the .clasp.json file.

The apps_script directory contains the code you should edit that is pushed to Google Apps Script.
