I am new to custom visual development. Trying to create a new visual but noticed that the .api folder is not being created when making a new visual aka- pbiviz new myVisual. All the tutorials include show the api folder part of the directory. What am I missing?
The latest verson of the SDK (3.x) doesn't use the .api folder; the API has been separated from the SDK and is imported as a npm module. It's probably already installed if you have created a new project. If you see powerbi-visuals-api in your list of modules in package.json then the API is there.
if not, you can install by running the following in the root folder of your project:
npm i powerbi-visuals-api
MS are very behind in updating the documentation for the latest version of the tools 😞
Hope this sorts you out,
Daniel
