Read Google Sheet in React JS | Google Sheet CRUD in JavaScript

If you are looking to read and manipulate data from a Google Sheet in a React JS application, you have come to the right place. In this tutorial, I will show you how to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on a Google Sheet using JavaScript and React JS.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

• A Google account
• A Google Sheet with some sample data
• Node.js and npm installed on your machine
• A basic understanding of React JS

Step 1: Set Up Google API

First, you need to enable the Google Sheets API and create a service account in the Google Cloud Platform.

Add the necessary credentials to your React JS project by creating a JSON file with the service account credentials and importing it into your project.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Install the necessary packages to connect to the Google Sheets API and perform CRUD operations. You can use the google-spreadsheet package to interact with Google Sheets.

      npm install google-spreadsheet
      npm install googleapis
    

Step 3: Read Data from Google Sheet

Once you have set up the Google API and installed the required packages, you can read data from your Google Sheet in your React JS application. Use the following code to connect to the Google Sheet and fetch the data:

      // Code to read data from Google Sheet
    

Step 4: Perform CRUD Operations

Now that you can read data from the Google Sheet, you can also perform CRUD operations such as creating new records, updating existing records, and deleting records. Use the google-spreadsheet package to perform these operations.

Step 5: Display Data in React Component

Finally, you can display the data from your Google Sheet in a React JS component. Use state and useEffect hooks to fetch the data when the component mounts and update the UI accordingly.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to read data from a Google Sheet and perform CRUD operations using JavaScript and React JS. You can now use this knowledge to integrate Google Sheets into your applications and create powerful data-driven solutions.
