Where to call SDK.init() in Azure DevOps extension? componentWillMout() will be deprecated

There is a call to SDK.init() in componentWillMount() in many Azure DevOps extension samples.

For example here:

public async componentWillMount() {
    SDK.init();
    const repoSvc = await SDK.getService<IVersionControlRepositoryService>(GitServiceIds.VersionControlRepositoryService);
}

But componentWillMount() is deprecated now. So where am I supposed to place this code?

Notice: I am also missing await when calling SDK.init() in this example. I suppose that it should be there.

Solution

  • After research of some existing plugins, there is a better way than move SDK.init() to componentDidMount:

    I found the best way where to init in this plugin from Microsoft. Simply put SDK.init() into your app.ts

    import * as SDK from "azure-devops-extension-sdk";

SDK.init();
