Report from Invoice template - pdf

Question

I created an invoice template in the spreadsheet and used the attached VBA code to create a report from it (essentially it stores certain cell values into another sheet as a tabular report).I would like to port this over to Google Spreadsheet and need help in converting the VBA to corresponding JavaScript. Can you help?
Thanks
Sub InvoiceReport()
Dim myFile As String, lastRow As Long
myFile = “C: \invoices\” & Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“B5”) & “_” & Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“F1”) & Format(Now(), “yyyy - mm - dd”) & “.pdf”
lastRow = Sheets(“Sheet2”).UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1
‘ Transfer data to sheet2
Sheets(“Sheet2”).Cells(lastRow, 1) = Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“B5”)
Sheets(“Sheet2”).Cells(lastRow, 2) = Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“F1”)
Sheets(“Sheet2”).Cells(lastRow, 3) = Sheets(“sheet1”).Range(“I36”)
Sheets(“Sheet2”).Cells(lastRow, 4) = Now
Sheets(“Sheet2”).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor: = Sheets(“Sheet2”).Cells(lastRow, 5), Address: = myFile, TextToDisplay: = myFile‘ Create invoice in PDF format
Sheets(“sheet1”).ExportAsFixedFormat Type: = xlTypePDF, Filename: = myFile
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
‘ create invoice in XLSX format
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs“ C: \invoices\” & Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“B5”) & “_” & Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“F1”) & “_” & Format(Now(), “yyyy - mm - dd”) & “.xlsx”, FileFormat: = 51‘ ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Figured this out, thankfully I've had to do this before.
This moves the data by getting the invoice information via a map that I made as an object so it's easily looped through. The tricky part was getting the PDF of the sheet.
I accomplished this by first scoping the function with Driveapp.getRootFolder() so I can get an oAuth token later. I utilized the URLFetchApp use the spreadsheets export functionality to retrieve a PDF blob. I then take this blob, name it, convert it to a file, and insert it into your drives root folder.
//Data mapping for the invoice itself
var invoiceDetailsMap = {
'Buyer Name': {
rowIndex: 4,
columnIndex: 1
},
'Invoice Number': {
rowIndex: 0,
columnIndex: 5
},
'Total Amount': {
rowIndex: 35,
columnIndex: 7
},
'Date & Time': {
rowIndex: 0,
columnIndex: 1
}
}
//Entry point for script
function EntryPoint() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
var valuesRange = dataRange.getValues();
var invoiceData = GetInvoiceDetails(valuesRange);
WriteInviceDetailsToSheet(invoiceData);
GetPDF(spreadsheet, invoiceData['File Name']);
}
//Writes the invoice details to the 2nd sheet
function WriteInviceDetailsToSheet(invoiceData){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
var valuesRange = dataRange.getValues();
var columns = GetColumns(valuesRange, dataRange.getNumColumns(), 0);
var arrayToWrite = [[]];
for(var column in columns.columns){
if(typeof invoiceData[column] !== 'undefined'){
arrayToWrite[0].push(invoiceData[column]);
}
}
sheet.insertRowAfter(dataRange.getLastRow());
sheet.getRange(dataRange.getLastRow() + 1, 1, 1, arrayToWrite[0].length).setValues(arrayToWrite);
}
//Gets the invoice details absed on the mappings
function GetInvoiceDetails(valuesRange) {
var output = {};
for(var value in invoiceDetailsMap){
output[value] = valuesRange[invoiceDetailsMap[value].rowIndex][invoiceDetailsMap[value].columnIndex];
}
output['File Name'] = 'Invoice' + output['Invoice Number'] + '_' + FormatDate(output['Date & Time'], 'MM.dd.yyyy');
return output;
}
//Gets the PDF and inserts it into drive
function GetPDF(spreadsheet, fileName){
DriveApp.getRootFolder(); //Scoping
var urlParameters = 'export?exportFormat=pdf&format=pdf&size=letter&portrait=true&fitw=true&source=labnol&sheetnames=false&printtitle=false&pagenumbers=false&gridlines=false&fzr=false&gid=0';
var baseURL = spreadsheet.getUrl();
baseURL = baseURL.replace(/edit$/,'');
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(baseURL + urlParameters, {
headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken() }
});
var pdfBlob = response.getBlob().setName(fileName + '.pdf');
var file = DriveApp.createFile(pdfBlob);
DriveApp.addFile(file);
}
//Reformts a date
function FormatDate(date, format)
{
var temp = new Date(date);
var output = Utilities.formatDate(temp, "PST", format);
return output;
}
//Gets a columns object for the sheet for easy indexing
function GetColumns(valuesRange, columnCount, rowIndex)
{
var columns = {
columns: {},
length: 0
}
Logger.log("Populating columns...");
for(var i = 0; i < columnCount; i++)
{
if(valuesRange[0][i] !== ''){
columns.columns[valuesRange[0][i]] = {index: i ,value: valuesRange[0][i]};
columns.length++;
}
}
return columns;
}
