Sample 01: Completely out of the box SharePoint capabilities
This sample project defines a Sample 01 Upload list with a variety of columns in the Sample01LibraryDefinition.cs file.
Expected output from running the console is a file located at AppFiles\Content\Provisioner.json. We will pass this file into our Infrastructure-As-Code commands to provision resources.
For this sample we will use a Site Provisioner Model to define our list and its fields. By automating this process we ensure that the list and its fields are the same in any SharePoint site where it is run. We can check the .JSON file into source control to version history the Site definition.
To debug the following project you will need to follow the guidance (https://github.com/pinch-perfect/Infrastructure-As-Code/blob/master/README.md) and ensure you have the Infrastructure-As-Code repository locally. This sample extends IaC to deploy a Sample sharepoint list with specific column types. You can use this similiar technique to provision resources into your SharePoint environment
We created a model to extend the site provisioning model with our specific list and columns details.
After debugging the console we receive the outputed JSON file at AppFiles\Content\Provisioner.json
A video of the screenshots can be found here (https://mix.office.com/watch/19oryzp2n9r1j)
We've included the provisioner.json in the repo. If you've performed the prerequisites you can open a powershell window and execute the cmdlets below:
cd ("{0}\{1}\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\InfrastructureAsCode.Powershell" -f $env:HOMEDRIVE,$env:HOMEPATH)
Connect-SPIaC –Url https://[tenant].sharepoint.com –UserName "[user]@[tenant].onmicrosoft.com"
## EX [REPO Drive]\[REPO Path]\development-samples\Sample01\AppFiles
$RelativeOrFullPath = "Local Path to folder where files will be read"
Set-IaCProvisionResources -SiteContent $RelativeOrFullPath -Verbose
Disconnect-SPIaCAfter the Powershell cmdlet Set-IaCProvisionResources executes successfully you should see a list "Sample 01 File Upload" in your Site. The following videos will demonstrate how to execute the cmdlets and the user experience with the form. You can quickly see that the Out of the Box controls are very similiar to InfoPath. The control in native SharePoint however, do not suffer from a variety of file upload limits and schema drift.
Here is a video to watch how you can go from Build to configuration of a SharePoint site.
