I have a HTML form made with Google Apps Script that sends the data imputed into a Google Sheet. Here are the files in the project:
Code.gs
function doGet(request) {
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('Index').evaluate();
}
/* @Include JavaScript and CSS Files */
function include(filename) {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile(filename)
.getContent();
}
/* @Process Form */
function processForm(formObject) {
var url = "URL OF GOOGLE SHEET";
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(url);
var ws = ss.getSheetByName("Data");
ws.appendRow([formObject.local,
formObject.direcao,
formObject.carro,
formObject.quilometragem,
formObject.observacao,
Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT-3", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
]);
}
Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showPosition() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showMap);
}
function showMap(position) {
// Get location data
var latlong = position.coords.latitude + ", " + position.coords.longitude;
}

// Prevent forms from submitting.

Everything works fine. However, I'm trying to add the user geolocation to be submitted alongside the inputs in the form. I don't want the user to do anything, it needs to be submitted as the user clicks the submit button. I have tried everything, including adding the showPosition() and showMap() functions that you can find in the Index.html file. However, I don't know what to do with it, as it gets the geolocation but I don't know how to make get it to be submitted with the form. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Here you go -
Just added the formObject.lat & formObject.long components to the processForm function.
function doGet(request) {
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('Index').evaluate();
}
/* @Include JavaScript and CSS Files */
function include(filename) {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile(filename)
.getContent();
}
/* @Process Form */
function processForm(formObject) {
var url = "URL OF GOOGLE SHEET";
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(url);
var ws = ss.getSheetByName("Data");
ws.appendRow(
[
formObject.local,
formObject.direcao,
formObject.carro,
formObject.quilometragem,
formObject.observacao,
Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT-3", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"),
formObject.lat,
formObject.long
]
);
}
Did the following things here -

Modified the following things -
showMap function to lat & longshowPosition on loadshowMap function to lat & long's corresponding html hidden form elements<script>
function showPosition() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showMap);
}
function showMap(position) {
// Get location data
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var geo1 = document.getElementById("lat");
geo1.value = lat;
var long = position.coords.longitude;
var geo2 = document.getElementById("long");
geo2.value = long;
}
// Prevent forms from submitting.
function preventFormSubmit() {
var forms = document.querySelectorAll('form');
for (var i = 0; i < forms.length; i++) {
forms[i].addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
});
}
}
window.addEventListener('load', preventFormSubmit);
window.addEventListener('load', showPosition);
function handleFormSubmit(formObject) {
google.script.run.processForm(formObject);
document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
}
</script>
Tested this on my setup and it worked perfectly. Let me know in case you may require any further assistance too!
