Apache Cordova plugin for Files/Discovery Services API

Provides JavaScript API to work with Microsoft Files/Discovery Services API. ####Supported Platforms####

• Android (cordova-android@>=4.0.0 is supported)
• iOS
• Windows (Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1)

Sample usage

To access the Files/Discovery API you need to acquire an access token and get the SharePoint client. Then, you can send async queries to interact with files data. Note: application ID, authorization and redirect URIs are assigned when you register your app with Microsoft Azure Active Directory.

var resource = 'Microsoft.SharePoint';
var tenantId = '17bf7168-5251-44ed-a3cf-37a5997cc451';
var authority = 'https://login.windows.net/' + tenantId + '/';
var appId = '3cfa20df-bca4-4131-ab92-626fb800ebb5';
var redirectUrl = 'http://test.com';

var AuthenticationContext = Microsoft.ADAL.AuthenticationContext;
var DiscoveryServices = Microsoft.Office.Files.DiscoveryServices;
var SharePointClient = Microsoft.Office.Files.SharePointClient;

var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
var discoveryContext = new DiscoveryServices.Context(authContext, appId, redirectUrl);
var sharePointClient;

discoveryContext.services(resource).then(function (capabilities) {
    capabilities.forEach(function (v) {
        if (v.capability === 'MyFiles') {
            var msg;
            sharePointClient = SharePointClient(v.endpointUri, authContext,
                v.resourceId, appId, redirectUrl);

            sharePointClient.files.getFileSystemItems().fetch().then(function (result) {
                msg = '';
                result.currentPage.forEach(function (item) {
                    msg += item._odataType + ' "' + item.name + '"\n';
                });
                console.log('All file system items: \n' + msg);
            }, function (error) {
                console.error(error);
            });
        }
    });
}, function (error) {
    console.error(error);
});
