SharePointBatch

Inspiration drawn from the MSDN article "Make batch requests with the REST APIs"

This Javascript library is supposed to help developers efficiently build batch jobs and parsing the response from the server. The reason I made this was that the existing code provided by Microsoft seemed a bit underwhelming and the examples were too specific. There is a need for a general purpose library to utilize the API in existing projects.

Please note that this library is a work in progress. It's a mix between a research project and experimenting writing typescript to compile into JavaScript to then be used in other projects.

API

The project can be loaded as both a module and a javascript browser script.

TypeScript

You can import the package as a module. You will need to specify the url and digest manually.

import { SharePointBatch, Changeset } from 'sharepoint-batch';
const batch = new SharePointBatch({ url: 'https://my.sharepoint.com', digest: '...' });
batch.add(new Changeset({ method: 'POST', url: '/_api/ContextInfo' }));
batch.add(new Changeset({ method: 'GET', url: '/_api/Site', params: { '$select': 'Id, Url, ReadOnly, WriteLocked' } }));
batch.add(new Changeset({ method: 'GET', url: '/_api/Web', params: { '$select': 'Id, Title, WebTemplate, Created' } }));
const response = await batch.send();
console.log(response.ok ? 'Done!' : 'Fail!', response.results);

JavaScript

The pre-built build.min.js file can be loaded directly into a ES6 compatible browser.

const options = SharePointBatch.GetSharePointOptions();
const batch = new SharePointBatch(options);
batch.add(new SharePointBatch.Changeset({ method: 'POST', url: '/_api/ContextInfo' }));
batch.add(new SharePointBatch.Changeset({ method: 'GET', url: '/_api/Site', params: { '$select': 'Id, Url, ReadOnly, WriteLocked' } }));
batch.add(new SharePointBatch.Changeset({ method: 'GET', url: '/_api/Web', params: { '$select': 'Id, Title, WebTemplate, Created' } }));
const response = await batch.send();
console.log(response.ok ? 'Done!' : 'Fail!', response.results);

Full documentation can be created by building the project and looking in the docs folder.
