In this article, we will use a custom gateway plugin in a new, empty tool extension we have created with the Windows Admin Center CLI.

Prepare your environment

If you haven't already, follow the directions in develop a tool extension to prepare your environment and create a new, empty tool extension.

Add a module to your project

If you haven't already, add a new empty module to your project, which we will use in the next step.

Add integration to custom gateway plugin

Now we'll use a custom gateway plugin in the new, empty module that we just created.

Create plugin.service.ts

Change to the directory of the new tool module created above (\src\app\{!Module-Name}), and create a new file plugin.service.ts.

Add the following code to the file just created:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { AppContextService, HttpService } from '@microsoft/windows-admin-center-sdk/angular';
import { Cim, Http, PowerShell, PowerShellSession } from '@microsoft/windows-admin-center-sdk/core';
import { AjaxResponse, Observable } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable()
export class PluginService {
    constructor(private appContextService: AppContextService, private http: Http) {
    }

    public getGatewayRestResponse(): Observable<any> {
        let callUrl = this.appContextService.activeConnection.nodeName;

        return this.appContextService.node.get(callUrl, 'features/Sample%20Uno').map(
            (response: any) => {
                return response;
            }
        )
    }
}

Change references to Sample Uno and Sample%20Uno to your feature name as appropriate.

Warning

It is recommended that the built in this.appContextService.node is used for calling any API that is defined in your custom gateway plugin. This will ensure that if credentials are required inside of your gateway plugin that they will be handled properly.

Modify module.ts

Open the module.ts file of the new module created earlier (i.e. {!Module-Name}.module.ts):

Add the following import statements:

import { HttpService } from '@microsoft/windows-admin-center-sdk/angular';
import { Http } from '@microsoft/windows-admin-center-sdk/core';
import { PluginService } from './plugin.service';

Add the following providers (after declarations):

  ,
  providers: [
    HttpService,
    PluginService,
    Http
  ]

Modify component.ts

Open the component.ts file of the new module created earlier (i.e. {!Module-Name}.component.ts):

Add the following import statements:

import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
import { AppContextService } from '@microsoft/windows-admin-center-sdk/angular';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
import { Strings } from '../../generated/strings';
import { PluginService } from './plugin.service';

Add the following variables:

  private serviceSubscription: Subscription;
  private responseResult: string;

Modify the constructor and modify/add the following functions:

  constructor(private appContextService: AppContextService, private plugin: PluginService) {
    //
  }

  public ngOnInit() {
    this.responseResult = 'click go to do something';
  }

  public onClick() {
    this.serviceSubscription = this.plugin.getGatewayRestResponse().subscribe(
      (response: any) => {
        this.responseResult = 'response: ' + response.message;
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log(error);
      }
    );
  }

Modify component.html

Open the component.html file of the new module created earlier (i.e. {!Module-Name}.component.html):

Add the following content to the html file:

<button (click)="onClick()" >go</button>
{{ responseResult }}

Build and side load your extension

Now you are ready to build and side load your extension in Windows Admin Center.
