## Description

This is a Gatsby source plugin that has all the options provided by the Google Sheets api. You can also simply use the Google Sheets url instead of the its ID for convenience.

`npm i gatsby-source-google-sheets-flexible`

## How to use

### Step 1: Prepare your Google API

1. Create a [Google API project](https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate)
2. Enable [Google Sheets API](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/sheets.googleapis.com?project=websheets&folder&organizationId) for that project
- Click the **ENABLE** button and select the project that you created
3. Create the [Google API key](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials) for that project
- Click **CREATE CREDENTIALS** button and select **API key**

### Step 2: Configure your Gatsby Project

2. Add the plugin in your `gatsby-config.js` file

- **majorDimension (OPTIONAL):** The major dimension that results should use. 2 Possible values: "ROWS" (default), "COLUMNS". Check out the majorDimension parameter [here](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/get) for more information.

- You can add the plugin with different configurations multiple times to pull data from different Google Sheets tabs/files

**Example of using the plugin to retrieve data from 2 tabs in the same Google Sheets document, using `spreadsheetUrl` for one, and `spreadsheetId` for the other:**
(in `gatsby-config.js`)
```
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: "gatsby-source-google-sheets-flexible",
options: {
apiKey: "AIzaSyCQQlbvNPEp21LLRsA_S0-R3r2TdxyUE-k",
spreadsheetUrl: "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16x6gtYQl7TAhehSqcaf_SAMDKNpEgoMxAGgMpQ7NUMs/edit#gid=72026853",
tabName: "site",
cellRange: "A1:B23",
majorDimension: "COLUMNS",
},
},
{
resolve: 'gatsby-source-google-sheets-flexible',
options: {
apiKey: "AIzaSyCQQlbvNPEp21LLRsA_S0-R3r2TdxyUE-k",
spreadsheetId: "16x6gtYQl7TAhehSqcaf_SAMDKNpEgoMxAGgMpQ7NUMs",
tabName: "listing",
cellRange: "A1:H1000",
majorDimension: "ROWS",
}
}
],
}
```
