SPGo for Visual Studio Code

##Feedback! We love feedback! Please take a minute to complete our 2-question Survey!

Experimental

We are looking to better integrate with SharePoint via context menu commands - e.g. Check in/Check out from the source treeview control, set as default Master, Update from server. the UX isn't great, as the menus are pretty static. Would love to hear feedback on it.

Overview

SPGo allows you and your team to develop SharePoint web solutions from your local PC using the power of Visual Studio Code. Build SharePoint sites and customizations source-control first with all of the power of a top-tier IDE. Produce cleaner code, deliver faster.

• Publish files on save
• Pull down remote folders to your local workspace
• No more editors messing with your markup
• Keep all project configuration in Source Control for easy team integration

Features

• Manage multiple configurations
  • Configuration data is stored within the project directory and can be stored in source control
• Check out files from SharePoint
  • Check out current file using command >SPGo: Check Out the current file
  • Check out current file with the hotkey combo: Alt+Shift+c
• Publish files to SharePoint
  • Save|publish|check-in automatically on Save
  • Force publish using command >SPGo: Publish the current file
  • Publish a major version with the hotkey combo: Alt+Shift+p
  • Publish a minor version with the hotkey combo: Alt+p
  • Discard checkout using command SPGo: Discard check out
• Retrieve the contents of a specified folder from SharePoint
  • Enter a site-relative folder into the dialog to automatically download the contents
• Retrieve the contents of multiple folders from SharePoint (Synchronize)
  • Specify an array of site-relative folders in the remoteFolders configuration node
  • Download all subfolders automatically by using command >SPGo: Populate workspace

Security and Authentication Support

Credentials are stored in VSCode memory only. SPGo will only ask you for credentials the first time you sync with SharePoint each session. SPGo currently supports the following authentication modes:

• Digest (Office365)
• NTLM (most on-premise installations)
• NTLM + wwwAuth
• ADFS A note for ADFS Authentication: You will need to add the following JSON node to the root of your your SPGo.json file:

{
    "authenticationDetails": {
        "relayingParty": "[relaying party]",
        "adfsUrl": "ADFS Url"
    }
} 

Configuration and Getting Started

To get started using SPGo, press Ctrl+Shift+p (Windows) Cmd+Shift+p (Mac) or open the Command Pallet and type >SPGo: Configure Workspace to bring up the SPGo Configuration Wizard. Upon successful configuration, a new file will be created in the root of your project folder called spgo.json. From there, all files and folders created under the src folder in your local workspace will be deployed to their corresponding site-relative path your SharePoint site upon save.

SPGo.json Configuration Files

If configuration was successful, you should see a file similar to below:

{
    "sourceDirectory": "src",
    "sharePointSiteUrl": "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/MyProject",
    "publishingScope": "SaveOnly",
} 

Additionally you can specify an array of remote folders in a node called remoteFolders, which SPGo will recursively downloaded to your local workspace when you issue the Synchronize Files command SPGo: Populate Workspace. Note: This WILL overwrite all local files.

{
    "sourceDirectory": "src",
    "sharePointSiteUrl": "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/MyProject",
    "publishingScope": "SaveOnly",
    "remoteFolders": [
        "/SiteAssets/MyProject/",
        "/_catalogs/wp/",
        "/_catalogs/masterpage/"
    ]
} 

Use

SPGo will automatically launch when you run the Configure Workspace command >SPGo: Configure workspace or any time the SPGO Configuration file spgo.json is detected in the root of the current workspace.

Roadmap

• [MVP] - Code cleanup, technical debt
• [1.1] - Remote File Compare. Merge updates from the server with your local source
