Bamboo

Bamboo is a simple, friendly, and ⚡blazingly⚡ fast customization manager, designed to speed up development time on the Microsoft Power Platform. 🚀

Currently supporting web resources and custom controls, Bamboo provides a seamless experience for developers to edit and manage these solution components - all from within VS Code.

Features

Bamboo provides the following features inside VS Code:

• Create or update web resources.
• Publish web resources automatically.
• Add web resources to a solution automatically.
• Manage custom controls (PCF components) through the import + publish of solutions.
• List all web resources and custom controls in a given solution in a VS Code tree view.

Getting Started

1. Install the extension here.
2. Add a bamboo.conf.json at the root of your VS Code workspace.
   • 
   • Do not check bamboo.conf.json into source control.
3. Populate the json file with the following data:

{
    "baseUrl": "https://<org>.crm.dynamics.com",
    "solutionUniqueName": "<your-solution-name>",
    "credential": {
        "type": "ClientSecret",
        "clientId": "<your-client-id>",
        "clientSecret": "<your-client-secret>",
        "tenantId": "<your-tenant-id>"
    },
    "webResources": [
        {
            "dataverseName": "new_/forms/account.js",
            "relativePathOnDisk": "path/to/new_/forms/account.js"
        },
        {
            "dataverseName": "new_/forms/contact.js",
            "relativePathOnDisk": "path/to/new_/forms/contact.js"
        },
        ...
    ],
    "customControls": [
        {
            "dataverseName": "new_NEW.ControlOne",
            "relativePathOnDiskToSolution": "path/to/ControlOneSolution.zip",
            "solutionName": "ControlOneSolution"
        },
        {
            "dataverseName": "new_NEW.ControlTwo",
            "relativePathOnDiskToSolution": "path/to/ControlTwoSolution.zip",
            "solutionName": "ControlTwoSolution"
        },
        ...
    ]
}

4. Reload VS Code
   • Everytime a configuration change is made to bamboo.conf.json VS Code needs to be re reloaded

Authentication Methods Supported

Important Notes

• All paths must use the / seperator.
• baseUrl must not end with a /.
• The app registration specified must have:
  • Access to the specified Dataverse environment
  • The appropiate Security Role necessary to:
    • Upload solutions
    • Publish solutions
    • Upload web resources
    • Publish web resources
    • Add components to solutions
• relativePathOnDisk and relativePathOnDiskToSolution must not start with a /.
• For web resources, dataverseName and relativePathOnDisk don't need to be similar (as shown in the example), this is just encouraged for ease of development

Usage

• All command can be run in the command palette.

Token Refresh + Cache

• Bamboo can use the previously cached token to speed up initial load times.
• Add the file: <vscode-workspace>/bamboo_tokens/tokenCache.json and then restart VS Code.
