- List events (including dates etc)
- Show game results
- Show event participants, company vacation listing

- Use format functions to format some cell data
- Use filter function to leave out some results

One widget in dashboard config:
// widget in config.js
{
type: 'sheets.list',
// You can find the documentId in sheet URL
documentId: 'abasdfsdfafsd123123',
range: 'A1:D10',
// Use either 'list' or 'table'
// Table shows every other row with different bg color
style: 'list',
fontSize: 'auto', // Use default, fixed or auto-scaled font size
// Customize the list or list item styles
styles: {
list: {
listStyle: 'none'
},
listItem: {
textAlign: 'center'
}
},
// Values (cells) to show on each row. Use one or multiple column letters:
// Uses https://www.npmjs.com/package/string-format for formatting
// NOTE: The both `['{A} {B} {C}']` and `['{A}', '{B}', '{C}']` work, but
// latter makes it possible to style each field / show the values in different
// cells in table format
fields: [
'Event date: {A!date}',
'{B!uppercase}',
'{C} {D}'
],
// Show two random entries (after optional filtering)
// Handy for picking random quote of the day etc.
random: 2,
// Custom formatter functions, name must match with the usage: !method
// NOTE: Call method.toString() to every function!
// NOTE: `moment` is available
format: {
// !date formatter
date: function(s){
return new moment(s).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
}.toString(),
// !uppercase formatter
uppercase: function(s) {
return s.toUpperCase();
}.toString()
},
// Custom function to filter some results rows
// If defined, each row is processed through it.
// Return `false` if you want to filter the row out and `true`
// for inclusion.
// NOTE: Only one variable is passed, containing all columns from current row
// NOTE: Variable `columns` does not contain the columns out of the range
// NOTE: Call method.toString() to every function!
filter: function(columns, index){
// Filter out first two lines
if (index < 2) {
return false;
}
// Filter out the results that are in past
var eventStart = moment(columns.B, ['YYYY-MM-DD']);
if (eventStart.isBefore(new moment())) {
return false;
}
// Otherwise show the fields from that row
return true;
}.toString(),
columns: 1, rows: 2,
x: 0, y: 0
}
