Tab people picker Node.js

This sample application demonstrates the People Picker feature within a Microsoft Teams tab, utilizing the Teams JavaScript client SDK to facilitate seamless user selection from an organization's member list. With capabilities for both scoped and organization-wide searches, along with intuitive single-select functionality, this app enhances collaboration by simplifying the process of connecting with colleagues in Teams.

Included Features

• Tabs
• People Picker in tabs

Interaction with app

Try it yourself - experience the App in your Microsoft Teams client

Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).

Prerequisites

• Office 365 tenant. You can get a free tenant for development use by signing up for the Office 365 Developer Program.

• To test locally, NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 16.14.2 or higher).

• dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution

• Teams Toolkit for VS Code or TeamsFx CLI

Run the app (Using Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code)

The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.

1. Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
2. Install the Teams Toolkit extension
3. Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
4. Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
5. Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
6. In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.

If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.

Setup

1. Setup NGROK

• Run ngrok - point to port 3978

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

  Alternatively, you can also use the dev tunnels. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:

  devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous

2. Setup for code

• Clone the repository

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

• In a terminal, navigate to samples/tab-people-picker/nodejs

• Install modules

  npm install

• Run your bot at the command line:

  npm start

Setup Manifest for Teams

• This step is specific to Teams.

  • Edit the manifest.json contained in the appManifest folder to replace {{Manifest-id}} with any GUID

  • {{base-url}} 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 and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like: 12345.devtunnels.ms. Replace everywhere you see the place holder string {{base-url}} Note => Update validDomains as per your application domain, if needed.

  • Zip up the contents of the appManifest folder to create a manifest.zip

  • Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
