SharePoint Configuration

The “SharePoint Configuration” class allows the developer to define configuration files, to automate the installation/unintallation of SharePoint assets. The configuration options are available through the built-in intellisense, shown below. This configuration class contains built-in methods to install and uninstall the SharePoint assets. Refer to the Code Documentation for an overview of the class.

Code Deployment

import { Helper } from "gd-sprest";

// Create the configuration
let spCfg = Helper.SPConfig({
    // See Configuration Examples Below
});

// Install the configuration
spCfg.install();

// Uninstall the configuration
spCfg.uninstall();

Multiple Configurations

The ability to define multiple configurations is easy to setup. This approach allows the configuration to specific groups of components.

/**
 * Test Configuration
 */
export const Configuration = {
    // Custom Action
    CustomAction: (targetSiteCollection:boolean = true) => {
      // See if we are deploying this against the site collection
      if(targetSiteCollection) {
        // Target the site
        return Helpler.SPConfig({
          CustomActionCfg: {
            Site: [
              { ... }
            ]
          }
        });
      }

      // Target the web
      return Helpler.SPConfig({
        CustomActionCfg: {
          Web: [
            { ... }
          ]
        }
      });
    }
