Rubric Grader Task Pane Add-in for OneNote Online

Applies to: OneNote Online

The Rubric Grader sample shows you how to use the OneNote JavaScript API in a OneNote task pane add-in. The add-in gets page content, adds an outline to the page, and opens a different page.

The add-in helps teachers grade writing assignments based on a grading rubric.

Prerequisites

• Yeoman Office generator. To install the generator and its prerequisites, follow these installation instructions. After you install the Yeoman Office generator by using the npm command, return to this readme.

  The Yeoman Office generator makes it easy to create add-in projects when you don't have Visual Studio or you want to use technologies other than plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It also provides quick access to a local Gulp web server for testing.

  You can optionally use Visual Studio to create a task pane add-in project, and then host the sample's app folder content on any HTTPS website. If you use this method, skip Step 2 below, and point the SourceLocation in the manifest to grader.html on your website in Step 3.

Step 1: Download the sample

1. Clone or download the OneNote-Add-in-Rubric-Grader repository.

   The Office Add-in Generator creates a lot of supporting files for add-in projects. Most of these files aren't stored in the repository, so you'll generate a local project and then overwrite some local files with sample files.

Step 2: Create the add-in project and set up the test server

1. Create a local folder named onenote add-in.

2. Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the onenote add-in folder. Run the yo office command as shown below.

   C:\your-local-path\onenote add-in\> yo office

   These instructions use the Windows command prompt, but are equally applicable for other shell environments.

3. Use the following options to create the project.

   Option	Value
   Project name	OneNote Add-in
   Root folder of project	(accept the default)
   Office project type	Task Pane Add-in
   Supported Office applications	(choose any--we'll add a OneNote host later)
   Technology to use	HTML, CSS & JavaScript

   It takes a few minutes to create the project and add all the supporting files.

4. After the project is created, run gulp serve-static in the cmd prompt as shown below. This will start the Gulp web server.

   C:\your-local-path\onenote add-in\> gulp serve-static The server is available when you see the Finished 'serve-static' ... entry in the window. Keep this window open while you're running the add-in.

5. Install the Gulp web server's self-signed certificate as a trusted certificate. You only need to do this one time on your computer for add-in projects created with the Yeoman Office generator.

   a. In a browser, navigate to the hosted add-in page. By default, this is the same URL that's in your manifest:

   https://localhost:8443/app/home/home.html

   b. Install the certificate as a trusted certificate. For more information, see Adding Self-Signed Certificates as Trusted Root Certificate.

Step 3: Configure the add-in project

1. Open the onenote add-in folder that you created, and delete the app folder from the project files.

2. Copy the app folder from the sample files into your onenote add-in folder to replace the one you just deleted.

3. Open manifest-onenote-add-in.xml in the onenote add-in folder.

   a. Add the following line to the Hosts section. This specifies that your add-in supports the OneNote host application.

   <Host Name="Notebook" />

   b. In the DefaultSettings section, change the SourceLocation element from home.html to grader.html, as shown below.

   <SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://localhost:8443/app/home/grader.html"/>

Step 4: Run the add-in

1. In OneNote Online, open a notebook that contains a couple of pages. Make sure at least one page has a paragraph of content.

   If this is the first time you've opened OneNote Online, you may need to refresh the page to see your default notebook.

2. Choose Insert > Office Add-ins. This opens the Office Add-ins dialog.

• If you're logged in with your work or school account, choose the MY ORGANIZATION tab, and then choose Upload My Add-in.

• If you're logged in with your consumer account, choose the MY ADD-INS tab, and then choose Upload My Add-in. (In some cases, you might need to choose Manage My Add-ins > Upload My Add-in.)

  To enable the Office Add-ins button, click inside the OneNote page.

3. In the Upload Add-in dialog, browse to manifest-onenote-add-in.xml that you modified in your project files, and then choose Upload. While testing, your manifest file can be stored locally.

4. The add-in opens in an iFrame next to the OneNote page. You can:

   • Use the Get count button to get approximate word and sentence counts.
   • Set scores in the scoring dropdowns, enter a comment, and then choose Grade it to add the grade to the page.
   • Choose Open page to open the page that's selected in the dropdown.

Troubleshooting and tips

• You can debug the add-in using your browser's developer tools. When you're using the Gulp web server and debugging in Internet Explorer or Chrome, you can save your changes locally and then just refresh the add-in's iFrame.

• When you inspect a OneNote object, the properties that are currently available for use display actual values. Properties that need to be loaded display undefined. Expand the __proto__ node to see properties that are defined on the object, but are not yet loaded.

• You need to enable mixed content in the browser if your add-in uses any HTTP resources. Production add-ins should use only secure HTTPS resources.
