A starter kit (boilerplate) for developing Google Apps Script projects locally in Visual Studio Code with modern JavaScript (ES6+). It bundles Vite, Jest, ESLint, Prettier, and clasp for building, testing, linting, and deploying Google Workspace add-ons and web apps.

Use cases

• set up a local dev environment for Google Apps Script
• build Google Workspace add-ons for Gmail, Sheets, Docs, and Slides
• write Apps Script with modern ES6+ JavaScript
• deploy Apps Script projects from the command line with clasp
• add linting, formatting, and Jest tests to Apps Script code
• create Gmail mail merge and Forms notification automations

When to choose

• you are starting a new Google Apps Script or Workspace add-on project
• you want modern tooling (Vite, Jest, ESLint, Prettier) with Apps Script
• you prefer developing and deploying Apps Script from VS Code instead of the online editor

When to avoid

• you need a runtime library, not a project template
• your project targets platforms other than Google Apps Script
• you want a fully managed CI/CD pipeline rather than a local dev setup
