How to deploy display templates with pnp?

Question

On SP 2016 on-prem I am trying to write a console application to upload files, mainly display templates.

I create a dummy site collection, and upload display template in "_catalogs/display templates/myfolder", and try to extract out the xml in order to be able to add dislpay templates programatically by using the command for apply template.

I tried this for extracting the schema:

Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out C:\temp\pnptest\nytest.xml -Handlers Files

and this

Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out C:\temp\pnptest\nytest.xml -Handlers All

None of these seems to work for giving me the schema xml for provisioning display templates. Actually I can not find anything related to my display templates in the xml. How can I upload display templates by using pnp ? Please advice.

Answer 1

I did some research on this and it seems it is not yet included in PnP Powershell. The suggestion was raised, but no inclusion in pnp-powershell till date for supporting display templates.

Issue Reference

So, answer to your question is: Please try SharePoint powershell cmdlets for migrating your custom display templates. Here is a very good blog for uploading the display templates using powershell
