I have a function that fetches an API, that converts PowerPoint presentations into base64 strings. After getting the response object, I want to insert the slides into the current presentation, specifically after the currently selected slide.
The way I thought of doing it is what the documentation says: get the selected slide ID and use it in the target slide ID option. The documentation introduces a function, getSelectedSlideIndex(), to get the ID of the selected slide, but it throws a Rich API Promise error. Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/powerpoint/add-slides
export async function getImageAsBase64String() {
// API call that fetches presentations as base64 strings
// ..
const results = await response.json();
await PowerPoint.run(async (context) => {
const selectedID = await getSelectedSlideIndex();
context.presentation.insertSlidesFromBase64(results[0].presentations[0], {
targetSlideId: selectedID,
});
await context.sync();
});
}
Is there a specific format for the selected ID? Ideally, I want to select a slide, press a button and the new slides (as base64 strings) are inserted after the selected slide.
