node-read-write-sheet

Node.js sample application that loads a sheet, updates selected cells, and saves the results

This is a minimal Smartsheet sample that demonstrates how to

• Load a sheet
• Loop through the rows
• Check for rows that meet a criteria
• Update cell values
• Write the results back to the original sheet

This sample scans a sheet for rows where the value of the "Status" column is "Complete" and sets the "Remaining" column to zero. This is implemented in the evaluate_row_and_build_updates() method which you should modify to meet your needs.

Setup

• Install the smartsheet library with npm install smartsheet at the command line

• Obtain your API access token obtained from the Smartsheet Account button, under Personal settings and set the SMARTSHEET_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable with the token.

• Run the application using your preferred IDE or at the command line with node node-read-write-sheet.js

The rows marked "Complete" will have the "Remaining" value set to 0. (Note that you will have to refresh in the desktop application to see the changes)
