stickyants-sp-util v1.0.1

stickyants-sp-util

A set of utility functions and classes to support SharePoint development using JSOM. The library simplifies some of the tasks and uses ES6 promises to wrap executeQueryAsync calls such that they work nicely together.

1 Term Store (Taxonomy)

1.1 Working with the term store

import {createTermStore} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 


var store = createTermStore(); 

//to get all terms of a term set
var terms = await store.getAllTermsByTermSetId('11365da4-d7cd-43b3-9d28-9d43b0313f2f'); 

2 Link Generation

2.1 Generate link to user picture by user email address

import {getUserPictureLink} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 


var pictureUrl = getUserPictureLink('someuser@sometenant.com');

2.2 Generate delve profile of user by email user email address

import {getUserDelveLink} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 


var delveLink = getUserDelveLink('someuser@sometenant.com');

2.3 Generate a link to specific version of the current page using UI Version

import {createVersionLink} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 

//first major version link 
var delveLink = createVersionLink(512);

3 Using async/await to work with JSOM

import {executeOnContext} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 


var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var web = ctx.get_web(); 
ctx.load(web); 
await executeOnContext(ctx); 
console.log(web.get_title()); 

4 Working with folders

4.1 Creating a nested folder structure in SharePoint list

import {createFolderInListIfNotExist} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 

var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var web = ctx.get_web(); 
var pages = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Pages'); 
var folder = await createFolderInListIfNotExist(ctx,pages,'folder1/folder2/folder3');//returns folder3

4.2 Check if folder exists in List

import {folderExistsInList} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 

var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var web = ctx.get_web(); 
var pages = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Pages'); 
var result = await folderExistsInList(ctx,pages,'folder3'); //returns true/false

5 Publishing Infrastructure

5.1 Creating a publishing page

import {createPublishingPage} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 

var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var result = await createPublishingPage(ctx,'somfile','My Content Type Name'); 

5.2 Getting page layout that is associated with a specific content type

import {getPageLayoutItemByAssociatedContentType} from 'stickyants-sp-util'; 

var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var result = await getPageLayoutItemByAssociatedContentType(ctx,'My Content Type Name'); 

6 SharePoint Error Codes (JSOM)

/**
 * JSOM error codes, the possible values of error codes that JSOM 
 * can return 
 */
export enum SPErrorCode {
    /**
     * The accessed item has been deleted
     */
    ItemDoesNotExist = -2147024809,
    /**
     * Some unknown error
     */
    GenericError = -1,
    /**
     * User does not have permission to access/perform operation 
     */
    AccessDenied = -2147024891,
    /**
     * A document with the same name already exist and the user is attempting to add new file/folder
     */
    DocAlreadyExists = -2130575257,
    /**
     * A version that is more recent has been saved 
     */
    VersionConflict = -2130575339,
    /**
     * List item is in recycle bin 
     */
    ListItemDeleted = -2130575338,
    /**
     * A field value that has been provided is invalid
     */
    InvalidFieldValue = -2130575155,
    /**
     * Operation not supported
     */
    NotSupported = -2147024846,
    /**
     * 
     */
    Redirect = -2130575152,
    /**
     * 
     */
    NotSupportedRequestVersion = -2130575151,
    /**
     * A specific field validation has failed 
     */
    FieldValueFailedValidation = -2130575163,
    /**
     * Item update failed validation rules
     */
    ItemValueFailedValidation = -2130575162,
