New js-er here so appreciate the support. I am passing an object array, userInfo{}, which has the following contents :

{"userName":"bob","userID":12345,"userDetail":1} from a client-side JavaScript using google.script.run.userClicked(userInfo).

Have used JSON.stringify() in an alert box to make sure the object array being passed is in the above format and then on the server side I am able to use the data when writing to a googlesheet cell.

e.g. ss.getRange(2, userInfo.userID).setValue(userInfo.userName).

This works fine.

My issue is when I want to use userInfo data in the server side script as a parameter:

e.g. var newUserDetail = userInfo.userDetail 5; or if (userInfo.userDetail = 1) {perform action} etc.

The script does not respond. Do I need to transform the object array elements somehow ? Or use a different syntax to userInfo.userDetail ?

Have searched for on variants of how to access variables passed from client side to server side in js/gs' with no success. I am sure this is super-obvious but still learning - so all help appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

The issue might be the way you are writing the condition inside of your if statement. In javascript, to compare two values you should use either == or ===.

== is used to compare two values regardless of their types, for example console.log("22" == 22) will print true. While console.log("22" === 22) will print false.

You mention your if statement having the condition userInfo.userDetail = 1, while it should be userInfo.userDetail === 1
