Reads and writes Google Forms and responses. For detailed description please check documentation.
Install typings for Google Forms API:
npm install @types/gapi.client.forms-v1 --save-dev
You need to initialize Google API client in your code:
gapi.load('client', () => {
// now we can use gapi.client
// ...
});
Then load api client wrapper:
gapi.client.load(
'https://forms.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1',
() => {
// now we can use:
// gapi.client.forms
}
);
// Deprecated, use discovery document URL, see https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/reference.md#----gapiclientloadname----version----callback--
gapi.client.load('forms', 'v1', () => {
// now we can use:
// gapi.client.forms
});
Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources:
// declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console
var client_id = '',
scope = [
// See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
// See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
// See and download all your Google Drive files
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly',
// See, edit, create, and delete all your Google Forms forms
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.body',
// See all your Google Forms forms
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.body.readonly',
// See all responses to your Google Forms forms
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.responses.readonly',
],
immediate = true;
// ...
gapi.auth.authorize(
{client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate},
authResult => {
if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
/* handle successful authorization */
} else {
/* handle authorization error */
}
}
);
After that you can use Google Forms API resources:
/*
Change the form with a batch of updates.
*/
await gapi.client.forms.forms.batchUpdate({formId: 'formId'});
/*
Create a new form using the title given in the provided form message in the request. *Important:* Only the form.info.title and form.info.document_title fields are copied to the new form. All other fields including the form description, items and settings are disallowed. To create a new form and add items, you must first call forms.create to create an empty form with a title and (optional) document title, and then call forms.update to add the items.
*/
await gapi.client.forms.forms.create({});
/*
Get a form.
*/
await gapi.client.forms.forms.get({formId: 'formId'});
