# populateG | A Web Application To Populate Google Docs Template 

Use the application to populate the your own Google Docs Template by using the data present in your Google Spreadsheets.

Just tag your Document using the headers used in your Google Spreadsheets.

See the example of the Template Document and the Data Spreadsheet: [**here**](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o5p9L2EOf6WPP_DiZxvo380E7nl7SO71)

[**Try it here**](https://populateg.herokuapp.com/)

> ___Note:__ As the Google Oauth client is set in a Global variable. The deployment can only process or work with __a single user at a point of time__ if multiple users are trying to use at the same time, the user arriving at the last will only be able to use the service, others will get the error as the deployment now has the Google drive access for the last user's account._

>

> _And as the project was just meant to solve my simple problem of rendering template using sheet's data, I never changed it. __It's just one of my problem-solving experiments.___

## Sample Example

![How to use populateG](images/populateg.gif)

## How to tag the template?

As shown in above gif, to create template, you have to tag your document with the headers specified in your spreadsheet by enclosing them into 2 curly braces, **`{{`**.

Like, if the header is **`name`**, then use **`{{name}}`** as the tag.

## Run Locally

Just, setup GoLang in your system.


And Run `go get github.com/Shivam010/populateG` or just clone the repo. Now, run `go run .` in the project.


If in $GOPATH use `GO111MODULE=on go run .`, see [`./init.go`](./init.go) file for environment variables setup.
