Question

I am new to to Typescript, watched videos and created the sample application of client webpart using new SharePoint development framework. All sample application worked well, and using Rest Queries i was able to do some of the List operation.but now my current Project Requirement, to get the termsets values from Taxonomy and as i aware there is no Rest end points available for Termset yet.(let me know if its available.)

I followed https://github.com/gandjustas/sptypescript , for some sample to help for my requirement but with no luck yet.

followed this blog http://thecollaborationcorner.com/2016/08/31/part-4-the-navigation-implementation/#.WD622YVOKM8 . even this is specific to Navigation Termset.

Could anybody help on this, how i can get the Taxonomy termset values using new SharePoint framework.

Answer 1

There is a sample for Taxonomy in sp-dev-fx-webparts. Following things you can get from this sample

• Reading taxonomy term stores' hierarchy from SharePoint
• Loading JavaScript Object Model scripts
• creating Knockout components

I believe you can get help from this file to get term Termset.

You can use @pnp/sp-taxonomy/terms.

Install with:

npm install @pnp/logging @pnp/common @pnp/odata @pnp/sp @pnp/sp-taxonomy @pnp/sp-clientsvc -- save

Import:

import { Session } from '@pnp/sp-taxonomy';

Usage:

const taxonomy = new Session(siteCollectionURL);
const store: any = taxonomy.termStores.getByName(termStoreName);
store.getTermSetById(termsetId).terms.select('Name', 'Id', 'Parent').get()
.then((data: any[]) => {
  console.log(data)
})
