Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

Index Properties are just properties, in the SPWeb/SPFolder property-bag, that have been added to the key has been added to the vti_indexedpropertykeys property in the site. I wanted to know if we can add something like this

pnp.sp.web.indexedproperties.get() -- which would return all of the keys that are indexed

pnp.sp.web.indexedproperties.add()--which would first check if the property exists on the property bag and then base64 encodes and updates the vti_indexedpropertykeys with it

I don't believe we can get at the property bags with REST, but has been a bit since I checked so will have another look.

i'm not sure of the context of the conversation but https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts/tree/master/samples/react-property-bag-editor enables yo to edit the properrises of a site, and enables search based navigation using those proprties. if we want to wrap. the property bag, we shoul also make sure we include the option to make properties searchable,. 👍 Sent from my iPad

Thanks @russgove - just had a look at that and the issue is that it users the sp.js library to do the actual updates which is a dependency we want to avoid. I do agree it would be great to wrap the props and be able to update them (including searchability). So will leave this one open but marked as awaiting API support for now.

The worst part is if you look at the SPPropertyValuesServerStub it has a method called SetFieldValue that is targeted to all client library targets

Going to close this as part of house keeping moving towards EOL for this library in July 2018.

Thank you for your interest in the sp-pnp-js library. We wanted to mention that this library is being deprecated in July, 2018 in favor of the new scoped pnpjs libraries. You should begin transitioning your existing projects when possible, or start new projects with the new libraries. Please see the transition guide for more details on migrating and be sure to let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
