Add support for Conditional Formatting

Hey,

Thanks for making this library, it has significantly lowered the bar to working with Google Sheets for me. It would be awesome to have support for Conditional Formatting on columns.

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/samples/conditional-formatting

It looks like it could fit well in to the range style notation, with some kwargs for the formatting options. If I get a chance I will create a PR.

FYI, you can easily make your own calls into the API from within gspread. Given a worksheet reference, i.e. wks = sh.sheet1 or somesuch:

body = {'requests': [
    {'repeatCell': {
        'range': {'startRowIndex': 0, 'endRowIndex': 1},
        'cell': {'userEnteredFormat': {'textFormat': {'bold': True}}},
        'fields': 'userEnteredFormat.textFormat.bold',
    }}
]}
wks.spreadsheet.batch_update(body)

Where body is the request as you see in your sample link. The conditional formatting one is long, so instead the above body makes the first row bold.

You can copy/paste from Google’s examples, just remove the sheetId keys as gspread populates those for you.

Hi @andrewgross, this is definitely something that can be done with gspread. You can do it yourself like mentioned by @alugowski but a helper function in theWorksheet object could be nice.

Hi @vikrant-pune, we you mention is a different issue and is getting off-topic. Please open a new issue with you message, backtrack and you code snippet and we’ll help you from there. Thank you.
