Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Nodejs module for saving files in SharePoint:

  • SharePoint 2013, 2016
  • SharePoint Online

spsave depends heavily on another module sp-request and use it to send REST queries to SharePoint. sp-request, in turns, depends on the module responsible for SharePoint authentiation from node js - node-sp-auth.
CHANGELOG


How to use:

Install:

npm install spsave --save-dev

Usage:

var spsave = require("spsave").spsave;

spsave(coreOptions, creds, fileOptions)
.then(successHandler)
.catch(errorHandler);

Using with gulp

You have following options:

  1. Use official gulp plugin for spsave - gulp-spsave

  2. Use spsave inside gulp tasks or in watchers like this:

     var spsave = require("spsave").spsave;
        
     gulp.task('spsave', function(cb) {
            
       spsave(coreOptions, creds, fileOptions)
       .then(function(){
           cb();
       }).catch(cb);
          
     );
  3. Use both approaches. First one is handy if you are processing files in a stream, for example you need minimize, concatenate and then upload. The second can be used if you want just upload files and that's it.

Using with SharePoint hosted apps (uploading to app web)

Please refer to this page (at the bottom)

options:

Starting from spsave 3.x all options divided by logical categories (in order):

  • core options
  • credentials
  • file(s) options

Core options:

  • siteUrl - required, string url of the site
  • checkin - optional, boolean to allow the files to be checked in/published
  • checkinType - optional number, used when checkin options is true
    • 0 - minor
    • 1 - major
    • 2 - overwrite
    • 3 - nocheckin - special case if you don't want your file to be checked-in on every file upload. In that case you file will remain checked-in after upload and you should either manually upload it, or run spsave again with other checkinType
  • checkinMessage - optional string, you can provide your own checkin message, otherwise default will be used
  • notification - optional boolean, when true, spsave will notify about successful upload using node-notifier module
  • filesMetaData - optional, array of IFileMetaData:
    • fileName - required, string file name
    • metadata - metadata object

Credentials:

spsave 3.x implicitly depends on another module used for SharePoint authentication from node js - node-sp-auth. For spsave credentials param you need to pass exactly the same object, as for node-sp-auth credentialsOptions object. That also means that spsave supports all authentication options supported by node-sp-auth. On Recipes page you can find a bit more samples.
You can also pass a null as credentials, in that case spsave will ask you for credentials and will store your credentials in a user folder in an encrypted manner (everything is handled by node-sp-auth actually).

File(s) options:

File options used to tell spsave how to find\load the file to be uploaded to SharePoint. When one is used, others are ignored. There are three file options supported: file content, glob and vinyl file.

File content options:
  • folder - required string, site-relative url to folder, which will be used to save your file. For example for library http://sp2013/sites/dev/SiteAssets folder will be equal to SiteAssets, SiteAssets/subfolder for sub folder. If the folder doesn't exist, spsave will create that folder and all sub folders if required (full hierarchy)
  • fileName - required, string file name
  • fileContent - required, string or buffer file content (binary files supported, you can do something like this: fileContent: fs.readFileSync('app/img/logo.png'))
Glob options (you can provide a mask to read all or certain files from the file system):
  • glob - required, string or string array, i.e. 'build/css/style.css' or ['build/css/*.*']. Pattern is similar to node-glob module.
  • base - optional string, if you want to preserve folders structure inside SharePoint folder, you can provide a base for you files. For example when using glob ['build/css/*.*'] and base: 'build', all css files will be loaded under [SharePoint folder]/css
  • folder - optional string, site-relative url to folder, which will be used to save your file. The same as for file content options. If the folder is null or empty, spsave will try to resolve folder using base option provided
Vinyl options. If you are familiar with vinyl and vinyl-fs you can provide vinyl file directly:
  • file - required, vinyl File object
  • folder - optional string, site-relative url to folder, which will be used to save your file. The same as for file content options. If the folder is null or empty, spsave will try to resolve the folder using base of vinyl file

Don't be scared and confused with a lot of options and take a look at the Recipes page. You can find all possible scenarios with spsave, input params and expected output.

successHandler

Handler gets called upon successful file upload.

errorHandler

Handler gets executed in case of exception inside spsave. Accepts error object as first argument for callback.

Samples

Use Recipes page to see all different options available with spsave.

Basic usage:

var coreOptions = {
    siteUrl: '[sp url]',
    notification: true,
    checkin: true,
    checkinType: 1
};
var creds = {
    username: '[username]',
    password: '[password]',
    domain: '[domain (on premise)]'
};

var fileOptions = {
    folder: 'SiteAssets',
    fileName: 'file.txt',
    fileContent: 'hello world'
};
spsave(coreOptions, creds, fileOptions)
.then(function(){
    console.log('saved');
})
.catch(function(err){
    console.log(err);
});

Development:

I recommend using VS Code for development. Repository already contains some settings for VS Code editor. Before creating Pull Request you need to create an appropriate issue and reference it from PR.

  1. git clone https://github.com/s-KaiNet/spsave.git
  2. cd spsave
  3. git checkout -b myfeature dev
  4. npm run build - restores dependencies and runs typescript compilation
  5. gulp live-dev - setup watchers and automatically runs typescript compilation, tslint and tests when you save files

Tests:

  1. npm test. As a result /reports folder will be created with test results in junit format and code coverage. Additionally test reports will be available in a console window.

Integration testing:

  1. Rename file /test/integration/config.sample.ts to config.ts.
  2. Update information in config.ts with appropriate values (urls, credentials, environment).
  3. Run gulp test-int.
