How to get file versions and comments

Hi All,

 

I am SharePoint online site, SPFX and React. I am trying below code to get versions and comments but in comments I am getting same comment to all version which is latest. Not getting why we gets same comments to all versions. Is there any other way to get this.

 

 web.lists.getByTitle("Documents").items.getById(Itemid).versions.get().then(v => {    
        console.log("admin");
        Logger.Log("getByTitle: " + v);  

        Logger.Log("Inside v: " + v);
        Object.keys(v).forEach((key) => {
          console.log(v[key]);
          //Logger.Log("v[key]: " + v[key]);      
          Logger.Log("OData__x005f_CheckinComment: " + v[key].OData__x005f_CheckinComment);
          Logger.Log("OData__x005f_UIVersionString: " +v[key].OData__x005f_UIVersionString);
   
        });
       
        })
        .catch((e) => {

            console.log("adminerror" + e);
            return false;

        });

    This is the default behavior of versions method of pnp js when you use with list item.

     

    You should try versions method associated with file. I have achieved it using below code:

    const sp = spfi().using(SPFx((this.props.wpContext as unknown) as ISPFXContext))
    
    const currentItem =  await sp.web.lists.getByTitle("VersionDemo").items.getById(2).select('FileRef')();    

    // Get latest version comment 
    const lastestVersionComment = await sp.web.getFileByUrl(currentItem['FileRef'])();
    console.log(lastestVersionComment["UIVersionLabel"],lastestVersionComment['CheckInComment']);

    // In this method it will not return latest version it will return only previous version
    const olderVersionComments = await sp.web.getFileByUrl(currentItem['FileRef']).versions();
    olderVersionComments.forEach((currentVersion) => {
      console.log(currentVersion["VersionLabel"],currentVersion["CheckInComment"]);
    });

     

     

     

    Find sample solution at "versioncomment"

     

    Important: I have used latest version of PnP JS i.e. 3.6.0. If you are using older version of pnp js then you need to adjust your code accordingly.
