SPMeta2.Reverse

A library to provide reverse engineering of the existing SharePoint sites into SPMeta2 models.

Build status

SPMeta2.Reverse in details

SPMeta2.Reverse provides a simple API to generate SPMeta2 models from the existing SharePoint sites. As easy as that. We are aiming to reverse engineer O365, SharePoint 2016/2013 web sites and generate a valid, redeployable SPMeta2 model. As always, full regression testing, nice coverage for the SharePoint atrifact and friendly support is included.

As for the API, that's how we see it happening:

// SharePoint CSOM context - O365/SP2016/SP2013
var context = ..; 

// create the magic reverse service
var service = new CSOMReverseService();

// reverse the SharePoint site and web into M2 model
var siteModelResult = service.ReverseSiteModel(context, ReverseOptions.Default);
var webModelResult = service.ReverseWebModel(context, ReverseOptions.Default);

// here we go, your M2 models backed for you
// deploy later to other SharePoint site, farm or serialize and keep it for the future
var siteModel = siteModelResult.Model;
var webModel = webModelResult.Model;

Stay tuned, releasing fiest versions Feb, 2016.
