Bot with SharePoint file to view in Teams file viewer

Using this Nodejs sample, a bot with capability to upload files to SharePoint site and same files can be viewed in Teams file viewer.

Included Features

• Teams SSO (bots)
• Adaptive Cards
• Graph API

Interaction with bot

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
• NodeJS
• ngrok or equivalent tunneling solution
• M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the appropriate permissions to install an app.

Setup

1. Setup for Bot SSO

Refer to Bot SSO Setup document.

2. Setup NGROK

1. Run ngrok - point to port 3978

# ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"

3. Setup SharePoint Site.

1. SharePoint site configuration

   • Login to sharepoint
   • Click on Create site and select Team site

   

   • Enter site name and description of site.

   .

2. From site address eg: 'https://m365x357260.sharepoint.com/sites/SharePointTestSite' m365x357260.sharepoint.com - value is sharepoint tenant name.

   • Click on next. (optional step)Add aditional owner and member.
   • Click on Finish.

4. Setup for code

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

2. In a terminal, navigate to samples/bot-sharepoint-file-viewer/nodejs

3. Install modules

   npm install

If you face any dependency error while installing node modules, try using below command

```bash
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
```

4. Update the .env configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId, MicrosoftAppPassword, MicrosoftAppTenantId and ConnectionName generated in Step 1 (Setup for Bot SSO). (Note the App Password is referred to as the "client secret" in the azure portal and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)

• ApplicationBaseUrl will be your app's base url. For eg https://xxxx.ngrok-free.app.
• SharePointTenantName will be the tenant name generated in step 3.2.
• SharePointSiteName will be the site name created in step 3.

5. Run your bot at the command line:

   npm start

5. Setup Manifest for Teams

1. This step is specific to Teams.
   • Edit the manifest.json contained in the appPackage folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your bot earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string <<Microsoft-App-Id>> (depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
   • Edit the manifest.json for validDomains with base Url domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would be https://1234.ngrok-free.app then your domain-name will be 1234.ngrok-free.app.
   • Zip up the contents of the AppManifest folder to create a manifest.zip (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
   • Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (In Teams Apps/Manage your apps click "Upload an app". Browse to and Open the .zip file. At the next dialog, click the Add button.)
   • Add the app to personal/team/groupChat scope (Supported scopes)

Note: If you are facing any issue in your app, please uncomment this line and put your debugger for local debug.

Running the sample

You can interact with this bot in Teams by sending it a message, or selecting a command from the command list. The bot will respond to the following strings.

1. The viewfile command will list all the files that are uploaded to sharepoint site.

2. The uploadfile command will return a card, which will open a task module from where new files can be uploaded to sharepoint.

3. The files will be uploaded to sharepoint.
