I need to create a custom class in my google script, but I don't know how to do it. Can someone please help me?

There isn't really a "standard" way to do this, but the general process is as follows:

Create a new script file in your Google Drive. This can be done by going to Drive, clicking on the New button, and then selecting "More" followed by "Google Apps Script".
Copy and paste the following code into your new script file:

class MyClass {
// Class constructor
constructor() {
}

// Class methods
myMethod() {
}
}

Save the file.

That's it! You've now created a custom class that you can use in your Google Apps Scripts.

Declaring custom classes in Google Scripts is a great way to organize your scripts and make your code more readable. Here are some steps to help you do that:

Create the class definition: Start by creating the class with all of the properties, methods, and functions you need. To do this, you can either write the class in the script editor, or create an external script file and import it into the script editor.
Add functions and methods: After you create the class definition, you'll need to fill it with the functions and methods you'll be using. Make sure these are documented clearly and are easy to understand.
Define the constructor: Once the class definition is done, you'll need to define the constructor, which will be called when an instance of the class is created. This holds the code that will set up the initial state of the class instance.
Instantiating the class: To create a new instance of the custom class, you can use the built-in functions of the script editor. The class instance can now be used for any of the tasks you designed the class for.

Here is a link to Google Script's official documentation on custom classes: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/classes. It will provide you with more detailed information on how to best use custom classes in your scripts.

I hope this answers your question!
