sp-screwdriver

Screwdriver for SharePoint

Adds missing and abstracts SharePoint APIs for transparent usage in Node.js applications

SharePoint REST API is cool, but there are cases, then it's limited or even absent (e.g. MMD is not reachable trough REST API).

This library implements (or at least tries) some vital capabilities by wrapping legacy but still working SOAP services and by hacking HTTP requests mimicing JSOM/CSOM.

New in version 1.0.0

• Code base is completely migrated to TypeScript.
• node-sp-auth-config is integrated to the library.
• Integration tests are added.

Supported SharePoint versions

• SharePoint Online
• SharePoint 2013
• SharePoint 2016

Usage

Install

npm install sp-screwdriver --save

or

yarn add sp-screwdriver

Minimal setup

import { Screwdriver, IScrewdriverSettings } from 'sp-screwdriver';
 
const settings: IScrewdriverSettings = {
  // ...
};
 
const screw = new Screwdriver(settings);
 
// Wizard mode asks for credentials
screw.wizard().then(() => {
 
  screw.ups.getPropertiesFor({
    accountName: 'i:0#.f|membership|username'
  }).then(result => {
    // ...
  }).catch(console.log);
 
  screw.mmd.getAllTerms({
    serviceName: 'Taxonomy_5KSgChEZ9j15+7UVInQNRQ==',
    termSetId: '8ed8c9ea-7052-4c1d-a4d7-b9c10bffea6f'
  }).then(result => {
    // ...
  }).catch(console.log);
 
});

alternative:

import { Screwdriver } from 'sp-screwdriver';
 
const screw = new Screwdriver(); // Default settings
screw.init(); // private.json already should be on the disk
              // or raw auth parameters should be provided
 
screw.ups.getUserPropertyByAccountName({
  accountName: 'i:0#.f|membership|username',
  propertyName: 'SPS-Birthday'
}).then(result => {
  done();
}).catch(done);
