• Check permissions on sites and lists
• Work with CustomActions

Installation

Add the SPScript npm package to your project

NPM

npm install spscript

Yarn

yarn add spscript

Importing

You can use SPScript in your Javascript/Typescript files with:

import SPScript from "spscript";

ProTip: Dynamically/Temporarily add SPScript to a Modern page with Dev Tools

You can enter the following into a browser console to dynamically load SPScript on a page.

let script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "https://unpkg.com/spscript@beta/dist/spscript.browser.js";
document.head.appendChild(script);

SPScript Context

Almost everything in SPScript is based off an SPScript Context class.

• An SPScript Context is tied to specific SharePoint site.
• You get a Context by calling SPScript.createContext(siteUrl).

You get a Context by calling SPScript.createContext(siteUrl).

This line of code is the entry point to almost everything SPScript provides.

let ctx = SPScript.createContext(siteUrl);

Example Usage: Get the News Pages of the specified site.

import SPScript from "spscript";

const getPublishedNews = async function (siteUrl) {
  let ctx = SPScript.createContext(siteUrl);
  let pages = await ctx.lists("Site Pages").findItems("PromotedState", 2);
  console.log(pages); // This will show an Array of Page List Items
  return pages;
};

Throughout the docs you'll see a variable, ctx, representing an instance of an SPScript Context.

Troubleshooting

If you are using Typescript, you may have to use the syntax:

import * as SPScript from "spscript";

If you don't like that, add "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true to your tsconfig.json.
