This extension provides functionalities that may be helpful when creating scripts that use CLI for Microsoft 365. Currently, the extension provides:
- embedded documentation
- samples powered by PnP Script Sample Gallery
- snippets with all possible CLI for Microsoft 365 commands
Please check CLI for Microsoft 365 docs for more information.
Using CLI M365: Open samples gallery command or 'Samples' button you may open the gallery with all available samples. Currently, the samples shown are retrieved from the PnP script samples repository. From the samples gallery you may go to the sample location or create a new tab in the editor prefilled with the CLI for Microsoft 365 script. It is possible to search for samples by:
- title
- authors
- commands used in samples
This functionality provides CLI docs view for all commands inside VS Code. No more transition between the code editor and browser is needed. It is possible to go to docs original website location and also open a sample gallery showing all samples using the command.
It is also possible to use the command CLI M365: Open docs for command to open the docs for a specific command.
The extensions help to quickly find the proper CLI for Microsoft 365 command and add it into the code using snippets. The command is added along with all obligatory parameters.
