This sample demonstrates how to use the UCWA JS SDK for skype in the SharePoint Framework. It shows how to subscribe to status change of the different people of the organization but you can get much more information, checkout the [documentation](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/websdk/docs/generalreference?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396)
The goal is to demonstrate how you can leverage the SDK and to have the simplest approach, hence the usage of JQuery. No Framework (React, Angular, Knockout...) is used here but you can use that SDK in conjuction with any framwork.
No branding has been applied to keep it simple but you could perfectly leverage Office Ui Fabric to display persona cards.

## Minimal Path to Awesome
### Authentication
Because the Skype API's are secured, you first need to register an Azure Active Directory application.
Select under `delegated permissions` both `Read/Write Skype user contacts and groups`, `Read/Write Skype user information (preview)`, `Receive conversation invites (preview)` (the receive conversation permission is required to get access to the mePerson object and have access to the current user's presence information) then click `select`. Finish by clicking `Done`.
Don't forget to click on `Grant permissions` and `yes`.
### Updating the app
After copying that sample to your local machine and running `npm install` to install the depenencies, `/src/webparts/skypePresence/services/Constants.ts` open your favorite editor. Make sure you replace the value of `ApplicationIdKey` to the value application id we kept earlier.
### Deploying the application
Start by running `gulp package-solution` and deploy the application to the app catalog. More information on how to do it [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/serve-your-web-part-in-a-sharepoint-page)
**At the end select SkypePresence webpart instead**
Don't forget to run `gulp serve --nobrowser` to start the debugging server.
Because Skype needs to silently redirect the user to a page for the authentication flow, you need to create an additional page called `skypepresence` in your site.
