Graph.Community 4.54.0

Graph SDK Community Extensions (Graph.Community)

The Graph extension library is a community effort to unblock developers building on .Net Standard who need to call endpoints that are not part of the Microsoft Graph.

Documentation

This community library contains requests and models that extend the Microsoft Graph SDK. Please review the Roadmap for an index of requests that are included and on the roadmap.

If there is an endpoint node for which you would like a request, please submit an issue to initiate a conversation. This will help reduce wasted effort.

Getting Started

The library includes a client factory class (CommunityGraphClientFactory) that provides methods to setup the Graph Service client with the handlers included in this library.

Using TokenCredential class

To use a TokenCredential class:

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();

CommunityGraphClientOptions clientOptions = new CommunityGraphClientOptions()
{
  UserAgent = "ExtendedCapabilitiesSample"
};

var graphServiceClient = CommunityGraphClientFactory.Create(clientOptions, credential);

To use an Authorization provider:

IAuthenticationProvider ap = new CustomAuthenticationProvider(pca, scopes);

CommunityGraphClientOptions clientOptions = new CommunityGraphClientOptions()
{
  UserAgent = "ExtendedCapabilitiesSample"
};

var graphServiceClient = CommunityGraphClientFactory.Create(clientOptions, ap);

A complete implementation is included in the Diagnostic sample.

The CommunityGraphClientOptions provides for specifing information to decorate SharePoint REST traffic to help mitigate throttling.

Once a GraphServiceClient is instantiated, an extension method provides access to the SharePoint REST endpoint. This SharePointAPI extension method requires an absolute URL to the SharePoint site collection that is the target of the call. Subsequent methods of the fluent API are used to address the feature area of the REST API.

Example

Statement:

gsc.SharePointAPI('https://mock.sharepoint.com/sites/mockSite')
     .SiteDesigns
     .Request()
     .GetAsync()

Request:

GET https://mock.sharepoint.com/sites/mockSite/_api/Microsoft.Sharepoint.Utilities.WebTemplateExtensions.SiteScriptUtility.GetSiteDesigns`

SharePoint Handler

Starting with v3.21, the library contains middleware (a delegating handler) that will transform errors from SharePoint Online into a ServiceException. This allows consuming code to standardize error handling.

Breaking change in v3.18

The SPUser class returned from the Web.SiteUsers request has been renamed to User. This aligns with the OData.type property returned from the service.

Versioning

The version number intentionaly aligned with the version of the Microsoft.Graph package.

Version suffixes (# indicates a sequence number that is reset for each major/minor):

• -CI-# Continuous Integration release built from dev branch
• -preview# Preview release, built from prerelease branch
• No suffix is release build
