Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Interfaces in Javascript for Google Apps Scripts

I really like named parameters. I can live without them, but there is one place where I really need them. Cases in which I want to create a class and the paramters are guaranteed to be present, nothing extra. This is one way of implementing them. (It's kinda ugly, but kinda cool.)

Retrieve Difference Between 2 Dimensional Arrays using Google Apps Script

This sample script retrieves the difference elements between 2 dimensional arrays using Google Apps Script. In Google Apps Script, 2 dimensional arrays are often used at Google Docs and Google APIs. And from my recent report, it has already found that the process cost of filter() is the lowest in the other loop methods. So I use the script like this.

var ar1 = [["a1", "b1", "c1"], ["a2", "b2", "c2"], ["a3", "b3", "c3"], ["a4", "b4", "c4"], ["a5", "b5", "c5"]];
var ar2 = [["a2", "b2", "c2"], ["a5", "b5", "c5"], ["a1", "b2", "c3"]];

var res = ar1.filter(function(e) {return ar2.filter(function(f) {return e.toString() == f.toString()}).length == 0});

Logger.log(res); // [["a1","b1","c1"],["a3","b3","c3"],["a4","b4","c4"]]

Retrieving Event ID from Event URL of Google Calendar using Google Apps Script

This is a sample script for retrieving the event ID from the event URL of Google Calendar using Google Apps Script.

The event URL is like https://www.google.com/calendar/event?###. At the event URL, ### of https://www.google.com/calendar/event?### is not the event ID. So it is required to convert it.

Sample script

var eventUrl = "https://www.google.com/calendar/event?###";

Copying Google Spreadsheet by Removing Container-Bound Script Using Google Apps Script

This is a sample script for copying a Google Spreadsheet including a container-bound script by removing the container-bound script using Google Apps Script.

When you want to copy a Google Google Spreadsheet including a container-bound script by removing the container-bound script using Google Apps Script, this could be achieved by using "get" and "create" methods of Sheets API before. The sample script is as follows.

const obj = Sheets.Spreadsheets.get(

	axios({
	url: 'http://localhost:5000/static/example.pdf',
	method: 'GET',
	responseType: 'blob', // important
	}).then((response) => {
	const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([response.data]));
	const link = document.createElement('a');
	link.href = url;
	link.setAttribute('download', 'file.pdf');
	document.body.appendChild(link);
