Hi, 

I'm trying to create a simple webapp to track daily foods I consume and fail to deliver the simple task of displaying the items from the google spreadsheet on the webapp.

On the code.js server-side everything's seem to work well and the return statement variable is includes the required array data.

On the index.html client side, on the other hand, a null value to passed for a reason I can't find.

Did anyone encounter this phenomena? 

Attaching the code files and the error screenshot,

Thanks!

ER

Index.html

In web apps, you need to be careful how you structure things and understand *where* the code is being executed.
You have added your server functions into your html file that runs in the browser. Anything that works with your sheet resides on the server and should be in your code.js file.
Then in your html file, you call google.script.run to access the backend script from the browser.

doGet() creates the initial page and sends it to the browser.
Once open in the browser, you update the page content by sending requests to your functions on the server via google.script.run which returns the data back to the browser. 
You would use <script>'s in the html file to handle the data returned by the function.
