Add tab capability to Teams app

  • Άρθρο

Tabs are webpages embedded in Microsoft Teams. Tabs function as simple HTML iframe tags that point to domains declared in app manifest (previously called Teams app manifest). You can add tab as a capability to a Teams app in a channel within a team, group chat, or personal app for an individual user. You can include custom tabs with your app to embed your own web content in Teams or add Teams-specific functionality to your web content. For more information, see build tabs for Teams.

Before you start, we recommend that you create and go through a tab app. For more information, see create tab app with Teams Toolkit.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisites are met to configure the tab capability in a Teams app:

Configure tab in Teams app

The following steps help you to configure the tab capability in a Teams app:

  1. Update app manifest
  2. Setup local debug environment
  3. Provision app to Azure

Tip

If you develop a server-side tab app, you don't need to update the folder structure, debug profile, or bicep infrastructure. Add new routes to the tab in your bot service and update the app manifest in Teams Toolkit. For more information, see sample app.

Update app manifest

  1. To configure your tab within a personal chat, group chat, or channel, update the manifest.json file with the following code:

      "staticTabs": [
      {
          "entityId": "index",
          "name": "Personal Tab",
          "contentUrl": "${{TAB_ENDPOINT}}/index.html#/tab",
          "websiteUrl": "${{TAB_ENDPOINT}}/index.html#/tab",
          "scopes": [
              "personal",
              "groupChat",
              "team"
          ]
      }
  ],

  2. Update the value of validDomains with your tab's domain.

    "validDomains": [
    "${{TAB_DOMAIN}}"
],

    Note

    TAB_ENDPOINT and TAB_DOMAIN are built-in variables of Teams Toolkit. They're replaced with the true endpoint during runtime based on your current environment.

Setup local debug environment

  1. Bring your tab app code into your project in Visual Studio Code. If you don't have one, you can create a new tab app with Teams Toolkit and copy the source code into your current project. By default, your tab app's folder structure looks as follows:

        |-- appPackage/
    |-- env/
    |-- infra/
    |-- tab/            <!--tab app source code-->
    |   |-- src/
    |   |   |-- app.ts
    |   |-- package.json
    |-- index.ts        <!--your current source code-->
    |-- package.json
    |-- teamsapp.yml

  2. Reorganize the folder structure as follows:

        |-- appPackage/
    |-- infra/
    |-- tab/           <!--tab app source code-->
    |   |-- src/
    |   |   |-- app.ts
    |   |-- package.json
    |-- bot/            <!--move your current source code to a new sub folder-->
    |   |-- index.ts
    |   |-- package.json
    |-- teamsapp.yml

  3. Update the following code in teamsapp.yml and teamsapp.local.yml files to align with the folder structure:

        deploy:
      # Run npm command
      - uses: cli/runNpmCommand
        with:
          args: install --no-audit
          workingDirectory: ./bot

  4. To configure the debug profile for your tab project, add the following code to the tasks.json file:

    {
    "label": "Start application",
    "dependsOn": [
        "Start bot",
        "Start frontend"
    ]
},
{
    "label": "Start bot",
    "type": "shell",
    "command": "npm run dev:teamsfx",
    "isBackground": true,
    "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/bot"
    },
    "problemMatcher": {
        "pattern": [
            {
                "regexp": "^.*$",
                "file": 0,
                "location": 1,
                "message": 2
            }
        ],
        "background": {
            "activeOnStart": true,
            "beginsPattern": "[nodemon] starting",
            "endsPattern": "restify listening to|Bot/ME service listening at|[nodemon] app crashed"
        }
    }
},
{
    "label": "Start frontend",
    "type": "shell",
    "command": "npm run dev:teamsfx",
    "isBackground": true,
    "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/tab"
    },
    "problemMatcher": {
        "pattern": {
            "regexp": "^.*$",
            "file": 0,
            "location": 1,
            "message": 2
        },
        "background": {
            "activeOnStart": true,
            "beginsPattern": ".*",
            "endsPattern": "Compiled|Failed|compiled|failed"
        }
    }
}

    For more information on how to configure the debug profile, see sample app.

  5. To enable your tab project to work with Teams Toolkit, add the following actions to the teamsapp.local.yml file:

    provision:
  - uses: script # Set TAB_DOMAIN for local launch
    name: Set TAB_DOMAIN for local launch
    with:
      run: echo "::set-output TAB_DOMAIN=localhost:53000"
  - uses: script # Set TAB_ENDPOINT for local launch
    name: Set TAB_ENDPOINT for local launch
    with:
      run: echo "::set-output TAB_ENDPOINT=https://localhost:53000"
deploy:
  - uses: devTool/install # Install development tool(s)
    with:
      devCert:
        trust: true
    writeToEnvironmentFile: # Write the information of installed development tool(s) into environment file for the specified environment variable(s).
      sslCertFile: SSL_CRT_FILE
      sslKeyFile: SSL_KEY_FILE
  - uses: cli/runNpmCommand # Run npm command
    with:
      args: install --no-audit
      workingDirectory: ./tab
  - uses: file/createOrUpdateEnvironmentFile # Generate runtime environment variables for tab
    with:
      target: ./tab/.localConfigs
      envs:
        BROWSER: none
        HTTPS: true
        PORT: 53000
        SSL_CRT_FILE: ${{SSL_CRT_FILE}}
        SSL_KEY_FILE: ${{SSL_KEY_FILE}}

  6. Select the F5 key to debug your app locally.

Provision app to Azure

To create a server-side tab app, you don't need to update your bicep files or Azure infrastructure. You can host your tab app in the same Azure App Service as your bot.

  1. To provision an Azure Static Web App for your tab app, add the following code to your azure.bicep file:

    @maxLength(20)
@minLength(4)
param resourceBaseName string
param storageSku string
param staticWebAppName string = resourceBaseName

// Azure Static Web Apps that hosts your static web site
resource swa 'Microsoft.Web/staticSites@2022-09-01' = {
  name: staticWebAppName
  // SWA do not need location setting
  location: 'centralus'
  sku: {
    name: staticWebAppSku
    tier: staticWebAppSku
  }
  properties: {}
}
var siteDomain = swa.properties.defaultHostname

output AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_RESOURCE_ID string = swa.id
output TAB_DOMAIN string = siteDomain
output TAB_ENDPOINT string = 'https://${siteDomain}'

  2. To ensure that the necessary parameters are set correctly, update the azure.parameters.json file as follows:

    {
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "resourceBaseName": {
      "value": "helloworld${{RESOURCE_SUFFIX}}"
    },
    "storageSku": {
      "value": "Free"
    },
  }
}

  3. To host your tab app in Azure Static Web Apps, define the azureStaticWebApps/getDeploymentToken action in your teamsapp.yml file. The action relies on the AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_RESOURCE_ID, an output of the bicep deployments. Add the following code after the arm/deploy action:

     provision:
   ...
   - uses: arm/deploy
     ...
   # Add this action
   - uses: azureStaticWebApps/getDeploymentToken
     with:
       resourceId: ${{AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_RESOURCE_ID}}
       writeToEnvironmentFile:
         deploymentToken: SECRET_TAB_SWA_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN
   ...

  4. Go to View > Command Palette... or select Ctrl+Shift+P.

  5. Enter Teams: Provision command to apply the bicep to Azure.

  6. To automate the build and deployment of your tab app, add the following build and deploy actions to your teamsapp.yml file:

      - uses: cli/runNpmCommand # Run npm command
    with:
      args: install
      workingDirectory: ./tab
  - uses: cli/runNpmCommand # Run npm command
    with:
      args: run build
      workingDirectory: ./tab
  # Deploy bits to Azure Storage Static Website
 - uses: cli/runNpxCommand
     name: deploy to Azure Static Web Apps
     with:
       args: '@azure/static-web-apps-cli deploy ./build -d ${{SECRET_TAB_SWA_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN}} --env production'

  7. Go to View > Command Palette... or select Ctrl+Shift+P.

  8. Enter Teams: Deploy to deploy your tab app code to Azure.

  9. Under Run and Debug, select Launch Remote (Edge) or Launch Remote (Chrome).

  10. Select the F5 key to debug and preview your Teams app.
