I am working with the google slides API and attempting to make a slide based on user inputted text. This is my text creating function,
var num = 1;
function createSlide(auth) {
//AUTHENTICATION
const slides = google.slides({version: 'v1', auth});
//CHANGING VARS
var slideId = 'slide_' + num;
var pageId = slideId;;
var textId = 'text_box_' + num;
var elementId = textId;
var iIndex = num;
//SIZING
var pt350 = {
magnitude: 350,
unit: 'PT',
};
//ALL REQUESTS GO IN requests
var requests = [{
createSlide: {
insertionIndex: iIndex,
objectId: pageId,
slideLayoutReference: {
predefinedLayout: 'BLANK'
}
},
//CREATE THE TEXTBOX
createShape: {
objectId: elementId,
shapeType: 'TEXT_BOX',
elementProperties: {
pageObjectId: pageId,
size: {
height: pt350,
width: pt350,
},
transform: {
scaleX: 1,
scaleY: 1,
translateX: 350,
translateY: 100,
unit: 'PT',
},
},
},
},
//INSERT TEXT
{
insertText: {
objectId: elementId,
insertionIndex: iIndex,
text: txt,
},
}];
//BATCH UPDATE
return slides.presentations.batchUpdate({
presentationId,
resource: {
requests,
},
}, (err, res) => {
if (err) {
error(err);
}else{
console.log('Success');
//INCREASES COUNTER BY 1
num = num + 1;
//ASKS IF A NEW SLIDE WANTS TO BE CREATED
askYOrN ();}});}
And it produces this error:
Error: Invalid value at 'requests[0]' (oneof), oneof field 'kind' is already set. Cannot set 'createShape'
The text is inputted and stored correctly. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.
How about this modification?
createSlide
, createShape
and insertText
to each element in the array of requests
.insertionIndex
at insertText
starts from 0.Please modify requests
as follows.
var requests = [
{
createSlide: {
insertionIndex: iIndex,
objectId: pageId,
slideLayoutReference: {
predefinedLayout: 'BLANK',
},
},
},
{
//CREATE THE TEXTBOX
createShape: {
objectId: elementId,
shapeType: 'TEXT_BOX',
elementProperties: {
pageObjectId: pageId,
size: {
height: pt350,
width: pt350,
},
transform: {
scaleX: 1,
scaleY: 1,
translateX: 350,
translateY: 100,
unit: 'PT',
},
},
},
},
{
//INSERT TEXT
insertText: {
objectId: elementId,
insertionIndex: iIndex - 1,
text: txt,
},
}
];
