I have a JavaScript object like this

[{ a: "123", b: "456" }, { a: "321", b: "654" }]

Is there any way to export it to Google Sheet like this using NodeJs

I believe your goal is as follows.

  • You want to put the values of [{ a: "123", b: "456" }, { a: "321", b: "654" }] to the Spreadsheet using Node.js.

In this case, how about using google-spreadsheet?

Usage:

1. Install google-spreadsheet.

You can see it at here.

2. Authorization

I thought that in this case, the service account might be useful.

You can see the method for authorization at here.

3. Sample script:

const { GoogleSpreadsheet } = require("google-spreadsheet");

const creds = require("credential.json"); // Please set your credential file.

const doc = new GoogleSpreadsheet("##"); // Please set your Spreadsheet ID.

const sample = async () => {
  await doc.useServiceAccountAuth(creds);
  await doc.loadInfo();
  const worksheet = doc.sheetsByIndex[0]; // Here, 1st tab on Google Spreadsheet is used.

  // This is from your sample value.
  const values = [
    { a: "123", b: "456" },
    { a: "321", b: "654" },
  ];
  await worksheet.setHeaderRow(["a", "b"]); // This is the header row.
  await worksheet.addRows(values); // Your value is put to the sheet.
};

sample();
  • When this script is run, the result in your sample image is obtained.

You could convert your JSON content to CSV and just use the Google Sheets import.

  1. Convert your JSON file / data to CSV using a npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/json2csv How can I convert JSON to CSV?
  2. Create a CSV file with it (you can console.log your content and copy it or just use fs to create a file)
  3. Import the csv file by using the UI: enter image description hereenter image description here

You could also use an online tool for it: https://www.convertcsv.com/json-to-csv.htm There you just have to copy your json and can even download a "Excel"-file with it. (This file can get imported like CSV as well)

Another way is to use a Google Sheets plugin. However I was only able to find tools for loading JSON via an URL / API. E.g.: https://medium.com/@paulgambill/how-to-import-json-data-into-google-spreadsheets-in-less-than-5-minutes-a3fede1a014a

The question is about how to programatically upload the json format data to a google sheet, using nodejs. Not importing and uploading manually.
