SharePoint Online - JavaScript Injection with PowerShell

Scenario:
Updating the Master Page for SharePoint Online is not recommended by Microsoft now.....fine. So how do we change the UI then? And the answer is...by injecting JavaScript and CSS.

Solution:
You might want to watch this video of JavaScript injection which we will not follow here as injecting JavaScript and/or CSS through Visual Studio takes little bit of time as shown in the above video so I am putting pieces together to inject JavaScript using PowerShell very very...very quickly. Thank you Office Dev PnP's Erwin van Hunen.

Note: We are not going to use SharePoint Online Management Shell ;o) instead we will use Windows PowerShell.

1. Install PnP PowerShell Cmdlets for SharePoint Online
   Url: https://github.com/officedev/pnp-powershell/releases
2. Perform a quick test: Run the command below in Windows PowerShell to see if it is available
    Get-Command Add-SPOJavaScriptBlock
   
3. Connect to the site where you want to push JavaScript code:
   Connect-SPOnline https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/portal
   
4. Push the JavaScript code.
   Add-SPOJavaScriptBlock -Name MyScript -Script "alert('Hello World');"
   or
   Add-SPOJavaScriptLink -Name JQuery -Url https://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js
   
5. You are done. Now browse the site and you will get the annoying Hello World alert on all the pages.
   

Here is the complete script:

#
# This is a sample script and is provided as is.
# Author: Tahir Naveed
# Description: This script connects to a SPO site and 
# injects a JavaScript code block which will execute on all of the pages.
#
#

$url = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/portal"
$ScriptName = "MyScript"
$scriptBlock = "alert('Hello World');"

try
{
    #Connect to the SPO site
    Connect-SPOnline $url
    
    #Remove script if added before
    Remove-SPOJavaScriptLink -Name $ScriptName

    #Add the script
    Add-SPOJavaScriptBlock -Name $ScriptName -Script $scriptBlock

}
catch
{
    Write-Host "$_.Exception.Message"
}

Write-Host "Completed successfully." -ForegroundColor Green

SharePoint - Export/Import Subsite

Scenario:

Lets suppose we have two SharePoint 2013 site collections and we want to export a sub-site from one site collection to another using PowerShell, then below is the answer.

Source: http://domain.com/sites/Site1/SubsiteA
Destination: http://domain.com/sites/Site2/SubsiteA 

Solution:

Export: Export-SPWeb "http://domain.com/sites/Site1/SubsiteA" -Path "C:\Temp\Export.cmp"

Import: Import-SPWeb "http://domain.com/sites/Site2/SubsiteA" -Path "C:\Temp\Export.cmp"

Note: All the list, libraries, documents etc will get exported except for the workflows.
