The social API allows you to track followed sites, people, and docs. Note, many of these methods only work with the context of a logged in user, and not with app-only permissions.

getFollowedSitesUri

Gets a URI to a site that lists the current user's followed sites.

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import "@pnp/sp/social";

const uri = await sp.social.getFollowedSitesUri();

getFollowedDocumentsUri

Gets a URI to a site that lists the current user's followed documents.

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import "@pnp/sp/social";

const uri = await sp.social.getFollowedDocumentsUri();

follow

Makes the current user start following a user, document, site, or tag

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import { SocialActorType } from "@pnp/sp/social";

// follow a site
const r1 = await sp.social.follow({
    ActorType: SocialActorType.Site,
    ContentUri: "htts://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site",
});

// follow a person
const r2 = await sp.social.follow({
    AccountName: "i:0#.f|membership|person@tenant.com",
    ActorType: SocialActorType.User,
});

// follow a doc
const r3 = await sp.social.follow({
    ActorType: SocialActorType.Document,
    ContentUri: "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/dev/SitePages/Test.aspx",
});

// follow a tag
// You need the tag GUID to start following a tag.
// You can't get the GUID by using the REST service, but you can use the .NET client object model or the JavaScript object model.
// See How to get a tag's GUID based on the tag's name by using the JavaScript object model.
// https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/follow-content-in-sharepoint#bk_getTagGuid
const r4 = await sp.social.follow({
    ActorType: SocialActorType.Tag,
    TagGuid: "19a4a484-c1dc-4bc5-8c93-bb96245ce928",
});

isFollowed

Indicates whether the current user is following a specified user, document, site, or tag

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import { SocialActorType } from "@pnp/sp/social";

// pass the same social actor struct as shown in follow example for each type
const r = await sp.social.isFollowed({
    AccountName: "i:0#.f|membership|person@tenant.com",
    ActorType: SocialActorType.User,
});

stopFollowing

Makes the current user stop following a user, document, site, or tag

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import { SocialActorType } from "@pnp/sp/social";

// pass the same social actor struct as shown in follow example for each type
const r = await sp.social.stopFollowing({
    AccountName: "i:0#.f|membership|person@tenant.com",
    ActorType: SocialActorType.User,
});

my

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";

followed

Gets users, documents, sites, and tags that the current user is following based on the supplied flags.

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import { SocialActorType } from "@pnp/sp/social";

// get all the followed documents
const r1 = await sp.social.my.followed(SocialActorTypes.Document);

// get all the followed documents and sites
const r2 = await sp.social.my.followed(SocialActorTypes.Document | SocialActorTypes.Site);

// get all the followed sites updated in the last 24 hours
const r3 = await sp.social.my.followed(SocialActorTypes.Site | SocialActorTypes.WithinLast24Hours);

followedCount

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import { SocialActorType } from "@pnp/sp/social";

// get the followed documents count
const r = await sp.social.my.followedCount(SocialActorTypes.Document);

followers

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import "@pnp/sp/social";

// get the followed documents count
const r = await sp.social.my.followers();

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import "@pnp/sp/social";

// get the followed documents count
const r = await sp.social.my.suggestions();
