Colins ALM Corner VSO Extensions

This repo contains some simple extensions written in TypeScript - see Extensions for Visual Studio Online. For more on how I built this extension, see my blog post.

Getting started

Pre-requisites

1. Join the Visual Studio Partner program to get early access to the Extensions feature
2. Verify the Extensions feature has been enabled on your account by navigating to https://youraccount.visualstudio.com/_admin/_ext.
3. Available local or cloud web server with HTTPS (IIS, Node.js, Azure Web App, Heroku, etc)

Steps

1. Clone this repo
2. Browse to the folder of the extension you are interested in trying
3. Publish the contents of the extension to a local or cloud web server

• The root of the extension should be at the root of the web server, for example: https://myserver/images/fabrikam-logo.png

4. Update this extension manifest file:

• Update the baseUri field to be the fully-qualified URL to the root of your web server, for example: https://myserver

6. Install the extension into your Visual Studio Online account
