Renders a template into final HTML output.
class HtmlService method .evaluate()
HtmlService is the Apps Script service.
.evaluate() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Turn a template into HTML the user actually sees.
- Final step before showSidebar or showModalDialog.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on evaluate. Write HtmlService.evaluate(), not HtmlService.evaluate or evaluate by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like HtmlService.evaluate().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write HtmlService.evaluate(), not HtmlService .evaluate(), HtmlService.evaluate (), or HtmlService . evaluate().
- Wrong capitalization. Use HtmlService and evaluate, not htmlservice or evaluate.
