🚀 Usage

Connect with Azure AD app credentials

import { connectWithSharePoint } from "sharepoint-client-api";

const sp = await connectWithSharePoint({
  siteHostname: "mytenant.sharepoint.com",
  tenantId: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  refreshToken: "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN",
  appCredentials: {
    clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
  }
});

// Get lists from a specific site
const lists = await sp
  .api("mysite", "lists")
  .select(["Id", "Title"])
  .filter("Title eq 'Documents'")
  .get();

console.log(lists);

---

🛠 Using admin endpoints

const adminSites = await sp
  .adminApi("/Sites('xxxx')")
  .top(5)
  .get();

console.log(adminSites);

---

⚙️ Ignoring errors

const result = await sp
  .api("mysite", "lists")
  .ignore()
  .get(); // Returns null if API fails instead of throwing

---

📨 Setting custom headers

await sp
  .api("mysite", "lists")
  .setHeaders({ "X-Custom-Header": "value" })
  .get();

---

🧾 Setting response type

await sp
  .api("mysite", "lists")
  .setResponseType("arraybuffer") // useful for file/binary downloads
  .get();

Supported response types include:

• "json"
• "text"
• "arraybuffer"
• "blob"
• "stream"
• "document"

Useful for:

✔ file exports ✔ binary data ✔ text-only responses ✔ streaming content
