Extensibility points

TFS 2017

Extensions enhance the Azure DevOps user experience by contributing new capabilities. In this article, we highlight the most common extensibility points that your extension can target. To learn more about the Azure DevOps extensibility model, see the Contribution model for an overview.

The Contributions Guide extension is a sample extension. Install this extension into your organization. Once it's installed, you see the extensibility points that are available. We recommend you install this extension into a personal or test organization. The source for this extension is also available. Also, find a sample of a repository creation extension point in this GitHub pull request.

Hubs and hub groups

Hubs and hub groups are the primary navigation elements in Azure DevOps. Files, Releases, Backlogs, and Queries are examples of hubs. A hub belongs to a hub group. The Files hub, for example, belongs to the project-level Azure Repos hub group. Hub groups can exist at the organization or collection level or the project level. Most extensions contribute to the project level.

Targetable hub groups

The following table describes the most common hub groups in Azure DevOps that you can contribute hubs to.

Name ID Level Preview image
Code ms.vss-code-web.code-hub-group Project/team Custom code hub, TFS versions
Work ms.vss-work-web.work-hub-group Project/team Custom work hub, TFS versions
Build and Release ms.vss-build-web.build-release-hub-group Project/team Custom build and release hub, TFS versions
Test ms.vss-test-web.test-hub-group Project/team Custom test hub, TFS versions
Project settings ms.vss-web.project-admin-hub-group Project Custom project admin hub, TFS versions
Collection settings ms.vss-web.collection-admin-hub-group Collection Custom collection admin hub, TFS versions

Example

This example shows how to contribute a hub to the Code hub group:

{
    ...
    "contributions": [
        {
            "id": "my-custom-hub",
            "type": "ms.vss-web.hub",
            "targets": [
                "ms.vss-code-web.code-hub-group"
            ],
            "properties": {
                "name": "Code Hub",
                "order": 30,
                "uri": "/views/code/custom.html"
            }
        }
    ]
}
  • ms.vss-web.hub is the type of this contribution. This type is defined in the vss-web extension published under the ms publisher. This type declares optional and required properties that are required by contributions of this type (for example, name, order, and so on).
  • ms.vss-code-web.code-hub-group is the full ID of the hub group contribution this hub is targeting. This contribution is declared in the vss-code-web extension published under the ms publisher
  • my-custom-hub is the short ID of this contribution; {publisherId}.{extensionId}.my-custom-hub is the full ID

See how to add an action for details on contributing an action to a menu or toolbar.

Add an icon

Add an icon properties, so it can be used directly by name.

We recommend providing your own icon. Using your own icon example:

           "name": "Sample hub",
           "uri": "dist/Hub/Hub.html",
           "icon": "asset://static/sample-icon.png",
           "supportsMobile": true
       }

Using the Office UI Fabric Icons example:

            "iconName": "Code",
            "name": "Code Hub",
            "order": 30,
            "uri": "/views/code/custom.html"
        }

Dashboards

An extension can contribute a new type of widget that can be added by users to a dashboard. Learn how to contribute a dashboard widget.

Work item form

The work item form is enhanced by extensions with new sections, tabs, actions, and custom field renderers. For more information, learn how to extend the work item form.

Azure Pipelines tasks

Tasks perform work in a build or release. For more information, learn how to contribute a build or release task.

Service hooks

A "consumer" is the service that events are sent to in Service Hooks. An extension can contribute consumer services. These services are configured by a user (or programmatically), to send events to that service. For more information, see contribute a service hooks consumer.
