await PowerPoint.run(async function(context) {
  // Load information about all the slide masters and associated layouts.
  const slideMasters: PowerPoint.SlideMasterCollection = context.presentation.slideMasters.load("id, name, layouts/items/name, layouts/items/id");
  await context.sync();

  // Log the name and ID of each slide master.
  for (let i = 0; i < slideMasters.items.length; i++) {
    console.log("Master name: " + slideMasters.items[i].name);
    console.log("Master ID: " + slideMasters.items[i].id);

    // Log the name and ID of each slide layout in the slide master.
    const layoutsInMaster: PowerPoint.SlideLayoutCollection = slideMasters.items[i].layouts;
    for (let j = 0; j < layoutsInMaster.items.length; j++) {
      console.log("    Layout name: " + layoutsInMaster.items[j].name + " Layout ID: " + layoutsInMaster.items[j].id);
    }
  }
});

Properties

context	The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
id	Gets the unique ID of the slide layout.
name	Gets the name of the slide layout.
shapes	Returns a collection of shapes in the slide layout.

Methods

load(options)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
toJSON()	Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.SlideLayout object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.SlideLayoutData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
