Microsoft's SharePoint Embedded Visual Studio Code extension has a suite of features that simplifies the development process for building a SharePoint Embedded app. This article highlights the nine most beneficial features of the extension.
Feature 1 of the extension provides developers with a complete container type hierarchy view of the SharePoint Embedded environment with no single source of truth.
Feature 2 allows a developer to inspect container type properties and request specific details of a chosen container type.
Feature 3 focuses on finding the owning app for a container type, which can be confusing for even the most tech-savvy SharePoint Embedded developer.
Feature 4 enables developers to delve deeper into specific container properties while accessing all the container's properties in a JSON format.
Feature 5 automates the process of registering your container type with the tenant, saving time, and effort for the SharePoint Embedded developer.
Feature 6 assists in creating client-secret credentials, saving valuable time and effort by generating the credential within the extension.
Feature 7 simplifies creating self-signed certificates for your application within the extension, saving valuable time and ensuring a smoother development process.
Feature 8 offer developers the chance to learn and experiment quickly with the pre-built examples using the TypeScript/React-based sample or C#-based option.
Feature 9 streamlines the testing workflow by easily exporting the environment settings directly from your owning app and validating your application's functionality.
