Detailed documentation
build()
Builds a data source specification from the settings in this builder. Must use as...()
to specify a data source type before building.
The following code sample builds a BigQuery DataSource Spec.
constbigQueryDataSourceSpec=SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec().asBigQuery(); // TODO(developer): Replace with the required dataset, project and table IDs. bigQueryDataSourceSpec.setDatasetId('my data set id'); bigQueryDataSourceSpec.setProjectId('my project id'); bigQueryDataSourceSpec.setTableId('my table id'); bigQueryDataSourceSpec.build();
The following code sample builds a Looker DataSource Spec.
constlookerDataSourceSpecBuilder= SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec().asLooker(); constlookerSpec=lookerDataSourceSpecBuilder.setExploreName('my explore name') .setInstanceUrl('my instance url') .setModelName('my model name') .build();
Return
Data — The data source specification.
copy()
Creates a Data based on this data source's settings.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. constss=SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); constspec=ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec(); constnewSpec=spec.copy();
Return
Data — The builder.
getExploreName()
Gets the name of the Looker explore in the model.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. constss=SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); constlookerDataSourceSpec=ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec().asLooker(); constexploreName=lookerDataSourceSpec.getExploreName(); Logger.log(exploreName);
Return
String — The name of the Looker explore.
getInstanceUrl()
Gets the URL of the Looker instance.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. constss=SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); constlookerDataSourceSpec=ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec().asLooker(); constinstanceUrl=lookerDataSourceSpec.getInstanceUrl(); Logger.log(instanceUrl);
Return
String — The URL of the Looker instance.
getModelName()
Gets the name of the Looker model in the instance.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. constss=SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); constlookerDataSourceSpec=ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec().asLooker(); constmodelName=lookerDataSourceSpec.getModelName(); Logger.log(modelName);
Return
String — The name of the Looker model.
getParameters()
Gets the parameters of the data source.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. constss=SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); constspec=ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec(); constparameters=spec.getParameters();
This method is only available for BigQuery data sources.
Return
Data — The parameter list.
getType()
Gets the type of the data source.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. constss=SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); constspec=ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec(); consttype=spec.getType();
Return
Data — The data source type.
removeAllParameters()
Removes all the parameters.
constspecBuilder=SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec(); specBuilder.removeAllParameters();
Return
Looker — The builder, for chaining.
removeParameter(parameterName)
Removes the specified parameter.
constspecBuilder=SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec(); specBuilder.removeParameter('x');
