jgelon / vsts-extension-split-work

VSTS extension for splitting cards across iterations.

Split!

Customizing this extension

This extension does a best effort to copy relevant information - including Title, AssignedTo, AreaPath, Description and any required fields. You may want additional custom fields to copy on split. We cannot support everyone's custom configuration, so we've tried to make it easy to clone this repo and create your own version of this extension.

If you think your change would benefit others - please contribute to the master extension!

Structure

/scripts            - Typescript code for extension

/css                - Style assets for extension
/typings            - Typescript typings

Grunt

Three basic grunt tasks are defined:

• build - Compiles TS files in scripts folder
• package - Builds the vsix package
• publishLocal - Publishes the extension to your local box marketplace using tfx-cli

Note: To avoid tfx prompting for your token when publishing, login in beforehand using tfx login and the service uri of https://app.market.visualstudio.com.

Setup for custom extensions

1. Run npm install
2. Look for "Hello custom extension author" for common extension customization points
3. Change the publisher in the vss-extension.json
4. grunt build
5. grunt package
6. Upload to your on-prem instance via http://myAzureDevopsServer/_gallery/manage

VS Code

The included .vscode config allows you to open and build the project using VS Code.
