Support for Execute Action in Adaptive Card Extensions

Developers can use Execute action for both Card View and Quick View actions.

BaseComponentsCardView as a new default Card View for Adaptive Card Extensions

We introduce new default class for Adaptive Card Extensions Card Views. With these new class developers can specify a set of components that is rendered in a Card View.

For more information on the new designs, see Designing Viva Connections custom cards for your dashboard.

export abstract class BaseComponentsCardView<TProperties = {}, TState = {}, TParameters extends ComponentsCardViewParameters = ITextCardViewParameters> extends BaseCardView<TProperties, TState> {
    abstract get cardViewParameters(): TParameters;
}

Example usage:

export class CardView extends BaseComponentsCardView<
  IHelloWorldAdaptiveCardExtensionProps,
  IHelloWorldAdaptiveCardExtensionState,
  ComponentsCardViewParameters
  > {
  public get cardViewParameters(): ComponentsCardViewParameters {

    return BasicCardView({
      cardBar: {
        componentName: 'cardBar',
        title: this.properties.title,
        icon: {
          url: this.properties.iconProperty
        }
      },
      header: {
        componentName: 'text',
        text: 'Hello world!'
      },
      footer: {
        componentName: 'cardButton',
        title: 'Quick View',
        action: {
          type: 'QuickView',
          parameters: {
            view: QUICK_VIEW_REGISTRY_ID,
          },
        },
      },
    });
  }
}

Adaptive Card Extensions flexible Card Views

With this release, we introduce more flexible way to configure Card Views for Adaptive Card Extensions. Developers can now "mix and match" components in a Card View configuration based on allowed set of variations.

Use new Generic Card Template in the generator to get started. Migration guide for existing projects is available here.

Ability to use text input in Adaptive Card Extensions' Card Views

Developers can now use text input component in a body or footer of a Card View. For more information on the layout options, see Designing Viva Connections custom cards for your dashboard.

Note

The text input component is fully supported in the browser and in Teams desktop. Full support for Viva Connections mobile will be enabled later.

New Search Card Template for Adaptive Card Extensions

Note

The text input component is fully supported in the browser and in Teams desktop. Full support for Viva Connections mobile will be enabled later.

Search Card View

Developers can now use onChange event for TextInput and SearchBox components in Adaptive Card Extensions.

/**
 * Text change event handler.
 */
onChange?: (newValue?: string) => void;

Note

The onChange event for TextInput and SearchBox is fully supported in the browser and in Teams desktop. Full support for Viva Connections mobile will be enabled later.

Ability to detect host's theme for Viva Connections Mobile

Starting with this version, developers have access to hostContext in the AdaptiveCardExtensionContext object. This property allows to detect host's theme.


export type HostTheme = 'light' | 'dark' | undefined;

export interface IHostContext {
  /**
 *
 * theme is used to define what the the current colour scheme for the VCM app. It has currently 2 values
      light: If VCM is in light mode, we use the theme 'light',
      dark: If VCM is in dark mode, we use the theme 'dark'
 */
  theme: HostTheme;
}

Fluent UI React v8 support

Starting from this version, React templates use Fluent UI React v8 instead of v7.

Transparent outline icon for Teams-hosted web parts

The default outline icon for Microsoft Teams hosted web parts is now transparent. This ensures that the default icon meets the Microsoft Teams design requirements for application.

TypeScript v4.7 Support

SPFx solutions now support TypeScript v4.7.
