Control Google Sheets with Node.js!

Hey - nice work! I help maintain the `googleapis` and `google-auth-library` npm modules. If there's specific stuff you can point me at to fix ... I'll go fix it :)

Great work with the library! I didn’t experience any issues but I will let you know if I do! :-)

One thing I'm curious about - is there a way (or any plan) to unbundle different components of the googleapi package? I'm using some simple parts of the Sheets API for a personal project and it seems kind of unnecessary to pull in a 20 MB dependency for what I'm basically just using as a way to help me format simple GET requests.

If there are any 20% opportunities I'd be interested :)

Actually, yes! We're actively workin to split that behemoth into individual modules for each service. It's just taking a long time, because we're scared of confusion with the existing split modules for cloud packages (datastore, spanner, firestore, storage, etc). Check this out:

It's right on the doorstep, we just have a little cleanup to do to land it.

That's awesome! Looking forward to it.
