How to save a 2D array to a Script Property in Properties Service in Google App Script?












0














I have a 2D array that I need to save as a property in Google App Script. How would I do this?



var array = [['value 1', 1.0, 'A'],['value 2', 2.0, 'B'],['value 3', 3.0, 'C']]

PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('myArray', array)


When I run the code as listed above I get [Ljava.lang.Object;@40ac055f as the value.



When I us array.toString() the property value negates the square brackets.



Thanks in advance!

  • It would be easier to save it in a sheet. It would also be easier read it out of a sheet.

  • Note that Properties Store is meant to save specific properties and key values. It's not meant to be a replacement for the entire spreadsheet.


  • Current quotas1 limit the property value size per key to 9kB and total storage per store to 500kB.



  • If your requirement doesn't cross the limit described above, the easy way is to use JSON.stringify2, Which will convert it to a parsable string.



    var array = [['value 1', 1.0, 'A'],['value 2', 2.0, 'B'],['value 3', 3.0, 'C']];
    var jarray = JSON.stringify(array);
    PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('myArray', jarray);



  • You can then use JSON.parse3 to retrieve the array



    var array = JSON.parse(jarray);
