Re: Using the Microsoft Graph API JavaScript SDK with App Permissions

Hi Lee, thanks for writing this up. The github link is broken and i cant see it in your github space. Our Get started guides are all delegated auth flows, which raises a good point that we should cover application auth flows https://developer.microsoft...

Re: How I exported 820 .ics files from an Office 365 Group calendar, for MVP Summit - Yannick Reekmans - Building things on Office 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure

Thanks for the write up Yannick. I respect your sleuthing here to get at the information.

Could you have not got the information from the Microsoft Graph Calendar APIs and written the ICS file using an SDK?

That feels a little less hijacky than this solution. My gut tells me that ICS files are hard and thats why you went the extra mile with this approach hijacking the page.

I know its all within legit access as you can see this information in the page.

Yes I do agree it's ashame that we don't have this built in functionality both in UX and APIs.

Thanks so much for writing this up. I've shared this internally with the PMs that own the extensibility story. Appreciate all your feedback you've been providing mate! It really helps us improve our developer experience for Microsoft Graph!

Re: Planner Moves Forward – Slowly

jthake — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 17:16:38 -0000

When I saw Planner as a central part of Office 365 Groups, I really thought this had legs. But as you say, its gone no where fast unfortunately. I suspect the conflicts of Project Online, acquisition of Wunderlist and general lack of internal support for Planner has caused this.
I'm using Tasks in a Box right now because Planner has no mobile apps and also has an awful way to view all "my tasks" across plans. They've disclosed mobile apps are coming as per a presentation at Ignite in Australia a few months back, but I'll believe it when I see it...

How is auth handled on this? Is the token in the SharePoint page able to be used?

Be sure to check out my blog that shows how to use Azure Functions to be triggered as WebHooks come in too http://www.jeremythake.com/...

Yes in actual fact, i've just moved over to own Azure App Service and wrote a blog on connecting the Microsoft Graph to Azure Functions that shows its ease http://www.jeremythake.com/...

1. UDF is a gap right now as you mention. But it is something that the engineering team is working on right now as they got such heavy feedback on it. The prototypes look great and I'm confident people will be happy with the cross platform results.

2. As discussed in the podcast, there is Excel REST APIs for Excel documents and Word REST APIs are not far around the corner. You can work with documents that live in OneDrive for Business or OneDrive directly through this API which is hugely beneficial.

3. There are distribution mechanisms being worked out where the add-in can be totally portable with the document. If you save a content add-in into a document and send to someone else right now, the add-in will still be there for that user. They can also be distributed through document templates too. There is more to come in this space.

It seems like you have some great feedback here. I'd encourage you to submit it https://officespdev.uservoi... because the team actively listens to this.

Sorry if i misled listeners by making out Webhooks were special to the Microsoft Graph. WE purposely picked this approach because as you mention it is very common.

Couldn't get this to work mate. Had to use : "brew cast install iterm2" instead. Great tool though !

Congrats mate, you'll be missed for sure but i'm sure you'll be pulled back into the fold somehow ;-)

Great show by you guys. I think this is critical for anyone who is currently in the SharePoint Developer space working on Full Trust Code to understand.

Re: Accessing data from an external service in a SharePoint App

OK makes sense to do that for sure in your scenario. Interested to see if others have this scenario too...

Re: Accessing data from an external service in a SharePoint App

jthake — Tue, 27 May 2014 20:10:27 -0000

Out of interest, what would be the scenario where you don't know the URL of the service?

Yeah it does A LOT! and the community is growing so fast for AngularJS its NUTS! the Pluralsight courses are a great treasure trove of getting started.

Yeah I need to play with external REST APIs more to understand what they are capable of to make a fair comparison. But agree on 100% coverage between CSOM and REST...and there are a lot of things in SSOM I want in REST too ;-)
I hear that Workflow can kick pretty hard in the pants too ;-)

I've been blogging on AngularJS recently. I'm enjoying the ability to have some structure rather than a 4000 line JS file for sure ;-) the binding is great and all the add-on libraries make things so easy. But when things don't work...its very hard to troubleshoot and can be a number of things: HTML/CSS, Jquery, Angular or just my badly written code ;-)

I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on what needs to be improved...I have a post in draft right now in the series I'm writing...but keep getting sucked into AngularJS and not writing about the higher level apps stuff LOL

This is great Steve...I actually found yesterday that saving a file when in debug mode wasn't updating the file and I had to stop and start debugging. If I restart entire VM it seems to start working again though.

That is really useful...just getting my feet wet in REST after being on Server Side for so long ;-)
