Easy Sheets
Easy Sheets is a modern, typed javascript library to access Google Sheets. It was made for 2 reasons:
- to be able to do simple sheet operations using terse commands;
 - to be able to access Google API credentials as a string (which could be set as an environment variable).
 
To setup:
- Create a Google Cloud project
 - Enable the Google Sheets API
 - Create a service account, download the JSON credentials
 - Base64 your credentials like so: 
btoa(JSON.stringify(YOUR CREDENTIALS)) - Create a Google Sheet, note the ID
 - Click the sheet's "Share" button and add the service account with "edit" permissions.
 
To use:
import EasySheets from 'easy-sheets'
const easySheets = new EasySheets(SPREADSHEET_ID, BASE64_CREDS)
// add a row
await easySheets.addRow(['this', 'was easy'])
// get a range as multi-dimensional array
await easySheets.getRange('A1:B3')
// get a range as an object
await easySheets.getRange('A1:B3', {headerRow: 'raw'}))
// update range
await easySheets.updateRange('A1:B2', [['First Name', 'Last Name'], ['Tim', 'Jones']])
// clear range
await easySheets.clearRange('A1:B5000000')
// multisheet operations
// you can add {sheet} as an argument to all operations
// example:
await easySheets.getRange('A1:B3', {sheet: 'Sheet2'})
