What's in this Pull Request?

It's more or less the TTK version for VSCode of msgext-action-search-data (which is already there and was presented but realized with Visual Studio 2022 C#)

Great idea and it looks good However I got an error when I ran it. Are there missing setup steps? Or do you need to provision Azurite or something?

[2024-06-19T23:26:45.121Z] [Error] - code:fileCreateOrUpdateEnvironmentFile.MissingEnvironmentVariablesError, message: The program cannot proceed as the following environment variables are missing: 'AZURE_TABLE_ACCOUNTNAME,AZURE_TABLE_KEY', which are required for file: c:\source\PR\teams-dev-samples\samples\msgext-action-search-data-node\teamsapp.local.yml. Make sure the required variables are set either by editing the .env file 'c:\source\PR\teams-dev-samples\samples\msgext-action-search-data-node\env.env.local' with the correct names and values , or by setting the system environment variables with the correct names and values. If you are developing with a new project created with Teams Toolkit, running provision or debug will register correct values for these environment variables.

You are totally right, Bob. Forgot to mention the necessity of an Azure Table and where to configure and how to fill it. README updated

Hi @mmsharepoint Markus ,

Nice work as usual! Few small issues I faced to get the F5 work seamlessly are mentioned below. If we can address these, then the sample would super smooth for folks to try and good to be merged @BobGerman .

• Dev dependencies missing

npm i --save-dev @azure/data-tables
npm i --save-dev @azure/functions
npm i --save-dev @types/node

• Instructions for Azure set up could be improved. AZURE_TABLE_ACCOUNTNAME should be the name of the storage account where azure table is to be created. AZURE_TABLE_KEY is actually the storage acc access key. Names could be improved for easy configuration.

A step is missing where the user will have to create the table in the above storage account with name Products2 as defined in azService.ts file.

Hi @rabwill Rabia, I think I am done with the suggested and sense-making improvements

Cool sample - first action ME as a Copilot plugin!

2nd ME: There was already the sibling in C# @BobGerman https://github.com/pnp/teams-dev-samples/tree/main/samples/msgext-action-search-data

But are action based ME now supported for Copilot plugins? Recently I found a hint they were no/t in the docu, now I can't find t anymore
