Question

I would like to know what is the minimum markup a SharePoint hosted aspx content page must have to get _spPageContextInfo loaded.

I plan to develop an angularjs SPA hosted on SharePoint site. I would like to avoid, if possible, master pages, web part pages and application pages. I plan to use client side object model and OData.

I've seen this post:

Can't use _spPageContextInfo

But it's a web part page.

I've also seen this other post:

http://sharepoint.aspcode.net/view/635399286724222582117090/napa-app-sppagecontextinfo-is-not-defined

suggesting you just need script manager in a form, but it doesn't seem to work

Was it helpful?

Solution

Ironically, after finishing the SPA aplication using a web part page, I found the bare minimum page to get _spPageContextInfo loaded:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%@ Page language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" 
     Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" 
     Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
<html>
<head> 
</head>
<body>
    <form runat="server">
        <SharePoint:FormDigest ID="FormDigest1" runat="server"></SharePoint:FormDigest>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

If you want to use JSOM you will also need to load some javascript files:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%@ Page language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" 
     Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" 
     Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="WebPartPageExpansion" content="full" />
    <script src="/_layouts/1033/init.js"></script>
    <script src="/_layouts/MicrosoftAjax.js"></script>
    <script src="/_layouts/sp.core.js"></script>
    <script src="/_layouts/sp.runtime.js"></script>
    <script src="/_layouts/sp.js"></script>
 </head>
<body>
    <form runat="server">
        <SharePoint:FormDigest ID="FormDigest1" runat="server"></SharePoint:FormDigest>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Replace version 14 with 15 to get it to work with SP 2013
