Hi
I have build a few (on prem) provider hosted and SharePoint hosted apps to really surface data held in host web. Now, I want to do something a bit more complex by starting to build a process follow that makes a number of cross domain calls - the success handler of the preceding call setting up the next cross domain call and so on .
For example:
Document Library 1
Document 1, Content type ct_1 (various attributes set inc taxonomy, lookup etc)
I want to copy this document and any set fields to ……..
Document Library 2
Document 2, Content type ct_2 (inherits from ct_1) ( ( various attributes, set as above)
I just wondered if this was achievable withclient side REST or would this be better with
CSOM :-( Thos I am stating to hate CSOM ;-.I did have a look at server side code ( csom/rest) and I thought quite verbose and a backwards step plus not really amenable to later moving to Angular or Knockout- tho please let me know if this initial assumption
is wrong.
One controversial view would be to code up a full farm trust web part because the server side apis are well understood. Also, one or two dlls are are likely to be difficult to migrate at some stage - assuming V Next does not mechanisms to prevent full trust farm solutions complete with bard wire and watchtowers ;-)
The other option thought of would be a 2013 w/f but I would a fancy form to go with this as I would want to capture user input
Be interested to hear the thoughts from the community
