Bringing Apps Script to the desktop – the why, where and how of gas-fakes

[Bruce Mcpherson]

We are not just emulating GAS - we are liberating it.

A brief summary on approaching parity of Google Apps Script methods and classes, some of the ‘extras’ gas-fakes provides for platform variety, production, development and testing and glimpse of some of the techniques used to get there.

We love the power and integration of GAS, but we require the debuggability and flexibility of a modern Node.js environment.

This is the problem that gas-fakes is designed to address.

gas-fakes brings the GAS runtime experience (its APIs, its behaviors, and its constraints) into a robust, controllable Node.js environment. It allows developers to write GAS-like code while leveraging the full power of modern software engineering practices.
