Microsoft 365 RT Sample App Feature.

The Microsoft 365 RT Sample App Feature is a Node.js application designed to showcase one-way dependency relationships between various capabilities within Microsoft Teams, including bots, tabs, and message extensions. By utilizing the 'elementRelationshipSet' property and the 'hostMustSupportFunctionalities' feature, this sample enables developers to define dependencies that ensure proper functionality, enhancing the integration and usability of Teams apps across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Included Features

  • Tabs
  • Bots
  • Compose Extensions
  • Element RelationShip Property
    • OneWay Dependency
    • Host Must Support Functionalities with dialogUrl

Interaction with app

Prerequisites

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.

Run the app (Manually Uploading to Teams)

Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.

1. Setup for Bot

  • In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource

  • Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel

  • While registering the bot, use https://<your_tunnel_domain>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint.

    NOTE: When you create your bot you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

2. Setup NGROK

  1. 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

3. Setup for code

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
  2. In a terminal, navigate to samples/requirement-targeting-oneway-dependency

  3. Install modules

    npm install
  4. Update the custom-environment-variables configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId and MicrosoftAppPassword, BaseUrl with application base url.

  5. Update the default configuration for the bot to use the appId and appPassword.

  6. Run your app

    npm start

Microsoft 365 RT Sample App Feature

This sample app feature is to show oneway dependency

Manifests Capabilities Dependency
1.OneWay ME-DependsOn-Bot Bot and Action-ME Action-ME Depends on Bot
2.OneWay Tab-DependsOn-Bot Static-Tab and Bot Static-Tab Depends on Bot
3.StaticTab-With-DialogURL Static-Tab with dialog URL Host Support Functionalities
  1. This is to specify One-Way Dependency between actionME contains a bot-sent-card scenario and has to depend-on bot to work properly.

JSON for ME-DependsOn-Bot

"elementRelationshipSet": {
        "oneWayDependencies": [
            {
                "element": {
                    "name": "composeExtensions",
                    "id": "composeExt_ID",
                    "commandIds": [
                        "createCard"
                    ]
                },
                "dependsOn": [
                    {
                        "name": "bots",
                        "id": "${{BOT_ID}}"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
  1. This is to specify One-Way Dependency between static tab and bot where the static tab dependsOn Bot

JSON for Tab-DependsOn-Bot

"elementRelationshipSet": {
        "oneWayDependencies": [
            {
                "element": {
                    "name": "staticTabs",
                    "id": "staticTab_Id"
                },
                "dependsOn": [
                    {
                        "name": "bots",
                        "id": "${{BOT_ID}}"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
  1. This is to specify Static tab that contains a dialog using "hostMustSupportFunctionalities"

JSON for Static-Tab with dialog URL

 "staticTabs": [
        {
            "entityId": "staticTab_Id",
            "name": "Personal Tab",
            "contentUrl": "https://${{BOT_DOMAIN}}/tab",
            "websiteUrl": "https://${{BOT_DOMAIN}}/tab",
            "scopes": [
                "personal"
            ],
            "requirementSet": {
                "hostMustSupportFunctionalities": [
                    {
                        "name": "dialogUrl"
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "dialogUrlBot"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ],

Note: Steps for manually uploading app manifests:

  1. The toolkit will automatically generate a build folder for each manifest inside the appPackage directory.
  2. Go to the build folder, locate the package (e.g., appPackage.local.zip), and upload it to Teams.
