Adaptive Cards

Adaptive Cards are a new way for developers to exchange content in a common and consistent way. Get started today by putting Adaptive Cards into Microsoft Teams, Outlook Actionable Messages, Cortana Skills, or Windows Timeline -- or render cards inside your own apps by using our SDKs.

Release schedule

We release the Adaptive Cards products on the third week of each month, assuming there are updates. Please see the table below for the most recent and upcoming release dates.

Note: These release dates are subject to change based on availability and active development of each product.

Code format

We require the C++ code inside this project to follow the clang-format. If you change them, please make sure your changed files are formatted correctly.

Make sure clang-format version 12.0.0 and above version is used.

IDE integration

ClangFormat describes a set of tools that are built on top of LibFormat. It can support your workflow in a variety of ways including a standalone tool and editor integrations. For details, refer to https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html

Format with script

Two scripts are provided to help you format files.

• Windows user only: use FormatSource.ps1. This script use clang-format.exe which is built into Visual Studio by default.

  Execute below command in the root folder of the project

   PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass scripts\FormatSource.ps1 -ModifiedOnly $False
  

If it's the first time to run the script, make sure clang-format version 12.0.0 or above in the output. Otherwise you may need to upgrade Visual Studio or use your own clang-format binaries.

[clang-format] Version is:
clang-format version 12.0.0

• Both Windows and MAC users: Use clang-format npmjs package

  Execute below command in source/nodejs

   npm run format
  

Make sure npm install is run before.

Use Git pre-commit hook

git pre-commit hook is an optional process. When you run git commit, it will automatically do the format check and auto fix the format if error detected.

First make sure clang-format binary is installed in your dev enviroment. Then modify scripts/hooks/pre-commit to make sure clangFormat is point to the correct path. And finally setup the git hook.

Two ways to setup the hook:

1. Copy scripts/hooks/pre-commit to .git/hooks
2. git config --local core.hooksPath scripts/hooks
