Azure DevOps Boards - display query result on a board


how to develop the extension to display query result on a board? Such thing is not possible in the Azure Devops unfortunatelly. I've found two extensions on the marketplace which are doing what I need:

  1. AA Query Board
  2. Query based boards

but this extensions are not updated for a long time and I couldn't contact the authors (I need to change few things in order to be able to use it internally in my company).

I've found also this topic Add tabs on query result pages, so it looks like it's quite easy to add new tab to the query result menu, but I have no idea and I can't find any info how to get data (work items) from query result to display them?

Rest of the extension is just to display this data in grid, so that would be also quite easy, but getting this query result data is blocking me.


Solution

  • Eventually I managed to contact the author of the "AA Query Board" extension and it turns out that he has a public repository on GitHub with the source code of the extension, so basically everyone can lookup how it's done or base on it.
