Google Sheets api Append and Change Colour of the row (Node js)-CodePudding

I have been trying format sheets row while appending, but can't figure it out. I have no problem with appending the rows, it works fine. So how can I append and format the row simultaneously ? From what I know I should be using "batchUpdate()" function, I tried in many ways but still can't figure it out.

I believe your goal is as follows.

You want to append a row to a sheet in a Google Spreadsheet.
When the row is appended, you want to set the color (background color?) to the row.
You want to achieve this using Node.js.

In this case, how about the following sample script?

Sample script:

In this script, googleapis for Node.js is used. Ref This can be used with Quickstart. Ref

const sheets = google.sheets({ version: "v4", auth }); // Please use your authorization script.

const spreadsheetId = "###"; // Please set your Spreadsheet ID.
const sheetId = "0"; // Please set your sheet ID.
const appendValue = ["sample1", "sample2", "sample3"]; // This is a sample append value.
const backgroundColor = { red: 1, green: 0, blue: 0 }; // This is a sample background color. In this case, the red color is used.

const values = appendValue.map((e) => ({userEnteredValue: { stringValue: e }, userEnteredFormat: { backgroundColor }}));
const requests = [{appendCells: {rows: [{ values }], sheetId, fields: "userEnteredValue,userEnteredFormat"}}];
await sheets.spreadsheets.batchUpdate({spreadsheetId, resource: { requests }});

When this script is run, a row of "sample1", "sample2", "sample3" is appended to the sheet, and the background color of the cells of the appended row is set as the red color.

Note:

This is a simple sample script. So, please modify this for your actual situation.
