I am trying to set references for a task via the Planner Graph API, but am unable to set the URL through a variable.
I have written a separate method for encoding the url, and it returns the correct value, but still the references aren't set for the Planner task.
const updateAttachedFiles = (
links: string[],
taskId: string,
etag: string
) => {
var encodedLink: string;
links.forEach(async (link) => {
encodedLink = escapeHtml(link)
await graph.planner.tasks.getById(taskId).details.update(
{
references: {
encodedLink : {
"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.plannerExternalReference",
"previewPriority": " !",
type: "Other",
},
},
},
etag);
}
)
};
const escapeHtml = (unsafe) => {
let temp = unsafe.replaceAll("%", "%25")
unsafe = temp
.replaceAll(".", "%2E")
.replaceAll(":", "%3A")
.replaceAll("@", "%40")
.replaceAll("#", "%23");
return unsafe
}
But if I change encodedLink to the hardcoded URL (copied from the value set in the variable encodedLink), it works.
{
references: {
"https%3A//shmafe%2Esharepoint%2Ecom/sites/PlannerTest1/Delade dokument/nedladdning%2Ejpg" : {
"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.plannerExternalReference",
"previewPriority": " !",
type: "Other",
},
},
}
I need to be able to set the link dynamically, so how can I do it without being able to use a variable? Am I doing something else wrong?

To use a variable as an object key, you need to use the bracket syntax
For example:
const myVariable = 'hello';
const demoObject = {
[myVariable]: 'world'
};
console.log(demoObject[myVariable]);
// same as
console.log(demoObject.hello);This should fix it:
const updateAttachedFiles = (
links: string[],
taskId: string,
etag: string
) => {
var encodedLink: string;
links.forEach(async (link) => {
encodedLink = encodeURI(link)
await graph.planner.tasks.getById(taskId).details.update(
{
references: {
[encodedLink] : {
"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.plannerExternalReference",
"previewPriority": " !",
type: "Other",
},
},
},
etag);
}
)
};
