IoT Sample with NodeRed functions and HTTP request handlers



Scenario :

"/time" GET request returns server time in JSON format(Format: {"time" : "hh:mm"}).


 

"/random" GET request returns generated random number in JSON format(Format: {"random" : number}).


 

"/page" GET request returns last request date & time, generated last number in HTML format. Output values as below;



  1. when the last time was requested
  2. when the last random number was requested
  3. the value of the last random number generated


Twist:


  • Work with HTTP requests and responses
  • Generate random numbers and work with those
  • Switch responses based on logic


Mustache view templating



 

Code as below:

Turn off/ Hide Details panel/ Information Panel on modern SharePoint lists

Not always we require to show changes done by other which is a mandatory feature in SharePoint online.  What is details pane (aka. Information Pane)? Detail pane/ Information shows information regarding the document if you selected a one or its showing recent changes within a list or library. Follow link to Microsoft documentation about details pane. Bad news: Until Microsoft listen to User Voice , there is no straightforward way to enable disable this even you don't want. Good news: We could write a SharePoint framework extension to hack styles until Microsoft give us a permanent solution. How? I found this sample project (Inject CSS into modern SharePoint pages with React) which could reuse to our purpose. Thanks to Hugo for saving my time.  Steps to awesomeness:  Clone the project Resolve dependencies >  npm i Bundle >  gulp bundle --ship Package >  gulp package-solution --ship Upload package into SharePoint App catalog

Eliminate Duplicates in Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps

There is no straight forward method or Microsoft Flow action  to eliminate values in a collection like Microsft Excel (as of March 2019). This little hack will help you to eliminate/ remove duplicates and create a collection of unique values. Sample scenario: Need to send daily summarized notification to assigned approved with pending approval items. Sample workflow: Initialize an array Iterate collection of data and append items that are not there in the filtered array Side note: This won't be an option to consider if you too concerned about the performance of the workflow but for the time being its an option to consider.
