        # Overview
        
        This is a python library to manage the tables on Google Document using Google Docs API.
        
        # Description
        
        Google Docs API has been released. When I used this API, I found that it is very difficult for me to manage the tables on Google Document using Google Docs API. Although I checked [the official document](https://developers.google.com/docs/api/how-tos/tables), unfortunately, I thought that it's very difficult for me. So in order to easily manage the tables on Google Document, I created this library.
        
        ## Features
        
        - All values can be retrieved from the table on Google Document.
        - Values can be put to the table.
        - Delete table, rows and columns of the table.
        - New table can be created by including values.
        - Append rows to the table by including values.
        
        ## Languages
        
        I manages the tables on Google Document using several languages. So I created the libraries for 4 languages which are golang, node.js and python. Google Apps Script has Class DocumentApp. So I has never created the GAS library yet.

        This library uses [google-api-python-client](https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client).
        
        ## Response
        
        This library returns the following value.
        
        ```python
        {
            'tables': [],
            'values': [],
            'responseFromAPIs': [],
            'libraryVersion': version
        }
        ```
        
        - When `GetTables()` is used, you can see the values with `tables`.
        - When `GetValues()` is used, you can see the values with `values`.
        - When other methods are used and the option of `showAPIResponse` is `true`, you can see the responses from APIs which were used for the method. And also, you can know the number of APIs, which were used for the method, by the length of array of `responseFromAPIs`.
        
        # Usage
        
        About the authorization, please check the section of [Authorization](#authorization). In order to use this library, it is required to confirm that [the Quickstart](https://developers.google.com/docs/api/quickstart/python) works fine.
        
        ## Scope
        
        In this library, using the scope of `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents` is recommended.
        
        <a name="gettables"></a>
        
        ## 1. GetTables
        
        Get all tables from Document. All values, table index and table position are retrieved.
        
        ### Sample script
        
        This sample script retrieves all tables from the Google Document of document ID.
        
        ```python
        resource = {
            "oauth2": creds,
            "documentId": documentId,
            # "showAPIResponse": True
        }
        res = gdoctableapp.GetTables(resource) # You can see the retrieved values like this.
        print(res)
        ```
        
        - `documentId`: Document ID.
        - `oauth2`: Credentials for using Docs API. Please check the section of [Authorization](#authorization).
          - If you want to use Service Account, please use `service_account` instead of `oauth2`. About this, please check [the sample script for Service account](#serviceaccount).
        - `showAPIResponse`: When `showAPIResponse: true` is used to `resource`, the responses from Docs API can be seen. The default value is `false`. **This option can be used for all methods.**
        
        <a name="getvalues"></a>
        
        ## 2. GetValues
        
        Get values from the table. All values are retrieved.
        
        ### Sample script
        
        This sample script retrieves the values from 1st table in Google Document. You can see the retrieved values as `[][]string`. Because when the values are retrieved by Docs API, all values are automatically converted to the string data.
        
        ```python
        resource = {
            "oauth2": creds,
            "documentId": "###",
            "tableIndex": 0,
        }
        res = gdoctableapp.GetValues(resource)
        print(res) # You can see the retrieved values like this.
        ```
        
        - `documentId`: Document ID.
        - `tableIndex`: Table index. If you want to use the 3rd table in Google Document. It's 2. The start number of index is 0.
        - `oauth2`: Credentials for using Docs API. Please check the section of [Authorization](#authorization).
          - If you want to use Service Account, please use `service_account` instead of `oauth2`. About this, please check [the sample script for Service account](#serviceaccount).
        
        <a name="setvalues1"></a>
        
        ## 3. SetValues 1
        
        There are 2 patterns for putting values to the table. In this section, set values to the table with 2 dimensional array. When the rows and columns of values which are put are over those of the table, this method can automatically expand the rows and columns.
        
        ### Sample script
        
        This sample script puts the values to the first table in Google Document.
        
        ```python
        resource = {
            "oauth2": creds,
            "documentId": "###",
            "tableIndex": 0,
            "values": [["a1", "b1"], ["a2", "b2"], ["a3", "b3", "c3"]]
        }
        res = gdoctableapp.SetValues(resource)  # You can see the retrieved responses from Docs API.
        print(res)
        ```
        
        - `documentId`: Document ID.
        - `tableIndex`: Table index. If you want to use the 3rd table in Google Document. It's 2. The start number of index is 0.
        - `oauth2`: Credentials for using Docs API. Please check the section of [Authorization](#authorization).
          - If you want to use Service Account, please use `service_account` instead of `oauth2`. About this, please check [the sample script for Service account](#serviceaccount).
        - `values`: `[][]string`
        
        ### Result
        
        When above script is run, the following result is obtained.

        ## 4. SetValues 2
        
        There are 2 patterns for putting values to the table. In this section, set values to a table with an object. In this method, you can set the values using the range. When the rows and columns of values which are put are over those of the table, this method can automatically expand the rows and columns.
        
        ### Sample script
        
        This script puts the values with the range to the first table in Google Document.

            "oauth2": creds,
            "documentId": "###",
            "tableIndex": 0,
            "values": [
                {
                    "values": [["A1"], ["A2", "B2", "c2", "d2"], ["A3"]],
                    "range": {"startRowIndex": 0, "startColumnIndex": 0}
                },
                {
                    "values": [["B1", "C1"]],
                    "range": {"startRowIndex": 0, "startColumnIndex": 1}
                }
            ]
        }
        res = gdoctableapp.SetValues(resource)  # You can see the retrieved responses from Docs API.
        print(res)
        ```
        
        - `documentId`: Document ID.
        - `tableIndex`: Table index. If you want to use the 3rd table in Google Document. It's 2. The start number of index is 0.
        - `oauth2`: Credentials for using Docs API. Please check the section of [Authorization](#authorization).
          - If you want to use Service Account, please use `service_account` instead of `oauth2`. About this, please check [the sample script for Service account](#serviceaccount).
        - `range.startRowIndex` of `values`: Row index of `values[0][0]`.
        - `range.startColumnIndex` of `values`: Column index of `values[0][0]`.
        - `values` : Values you want to put.
        
        For example, when the row, column indexes and values are 1, 2 and "value", respectively, "value" is put to "C3".
        
        ### Result
        
        When above script is run, the following result is obtained.

        # Authorization
        
        There are 2 patterns for using this library.
        
        ## 1. Use OAuth2
        
        Document of OAuth2 is [here](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2).
        
        ### Sample script
        
        In this sample script, the authorization process uses [the Quickstart for Node.js](https://developers.google.com/docs/api/quickstart/nodejs). You can see the detail information at there.
        
        ```python
        from __future__ import print_function
        import pickle
        import os.path
        from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
        from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
        
        from gdoctableapppy import gdoctableapp
        
        # If modifying these scopes, delete the file token.pickle.
        SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents']
        
        
        def main():
            """Shows basic usage of the Docs API.
            Prints the title of a sample document.
            """
            creds = None
            # The file token.pickle stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
            # created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
            # time.
            if os.path.exists('token.pickle'):
                with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token:
                    creds = pickle.load(token)
            # If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
            if not creds or not creds.valid:
                if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
                    creds.refresh(Request())
                else:
                    flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
                        'credentials.json', SCOPES)
                    creds = flow.run_local_server()
                # Save the credentials for the next run
                with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as token:
                    pickle.dump(creds, token)
        
            resource = {
                "oauth2": creds,
                "documentId": "###",
                "tableIndex": 0,
            }
            res = gdoctableapp.GetValues(resource)
            print(res) # You can see the retrieved values like this.
        
        
        if __name__ == '__main__':
            main()
        ```
        
        <a name="serviceaccount"></a>
        
        ## 2. Use Service account
        
        Document of Service account is [here](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount). When you use Service account, please share Google Document with the email of Service account.
        
        ### Sample script
        
        ```python
        from google.oauth2 import service_account
        from gdoctableapppy import gdoctableapp
        
        SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents']
        SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = 'service-account-credentials.json'
        creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
        
        resource = {
            "service_account": creds,
            "documentId": "###",
            "tableIndex": 0,
        }
        res = gdoctableapp.GetValues(resource)
        print(res) # You can see the retrieved values like this.
        ```
        
        # Limitations
        
        - In the current stage, unfortunately, `tableCellStyle` cannot be modified by Google Docs API. By this, the formats of cells cannot be modified. About this, I have posted as [Feature Request](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135136221).
