Do you need this? )

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("toggleGrid"))
app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("toggleRulers"))

yeah, i can not believe that it is so simple

thank you

is there a solution to get the status of the grid and rulers?

so that i just can activate the rulers when the grid is already set

For the rulers, use this code in CC2018

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), stringIDToTypeID( "rulersVisibility" ) );
r.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );
var rulers_is_visible = executeActionGet(r).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("rulersVisibility"));             
alert(rulers_is_visible)

For the grid so far, they have not done it yet, I think so ).

UPD.

You can use

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("showAll"))

or

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("showNone"))

Then toggle the necessary view.

In order to see the menu code in ScriptingListenerJS.log, use the "insert menu item" in the action palette menu when you record the action.
