Title Body

I was looking into building a toolset using google apps script. The problem with this is that as far as I can tell in only allows one level of organization. You can create a Library called Stopwatch and call methods Stopwatch.start() and Stopwatch.stop() which is pretty cool. What I had in mind though was something more like Utils.Stopwatch().start() and Utils.Timer.start() etc. I think it's certainly possible in javascript, but in order to keep breaking Apps Script autocomplete function it needs to be added in a certain format. Below is example an example of doing it wrong (gives an error) but perhaps saves some time. It's based on this article. /** * A stopwatch object. * @return {Object} The stopwatch methods */ function Stopwatch() { var current; /** * Stop the stopwatch. * @param {Time} time in miliseconds */ function timeInSeconds_(time) { return time/1000; } return { /** * Start the stopwatch. */ start: function() { var time = new Date().getTime(); current = timeInSeconds_(time); }, /** * Stop the stopwatch. * @return {decimal} time passed since calling * start (in seconds) */ stop: function() { var time = new Date().getTime(); var difference = timeInSeconds_(time) - this.current; return difference.toFixed(3); } }; } Thanks
