Visual Studio for Mac doesn't have any "Office add-in" project

I have done some digging and can see that Visual Studio for Mac should offer a way to create "Office add-in" projects which will be based on Office-JS API (JavaScript) instead of the .Net COM technology.

However, in Visual Studio for Mac 7.0.1 -> New Project, I cannot see any add-in or Office option. I am using Community version so that could be the problem. But before I can upgrade to Enterprise or Professional, I need to be sure that has the Office add-in option.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hisham.

You can use the Yeoman generator to create an Office Add-in on Mac. It'll automatically create the project scaffolding for you, and then you can use the editor of your choice (including Visual Studio for Mac) to modify the code for your add-in. Check out these resources for detailed info about creating an Office Web Add-in using Yeoman generator:

(I don't personally know whether or not any version of Visual Studio for Mac offers built-in support for creating Office Web Add-ins; I'll do some digging and update my answer here if I'm able to find definitive info on that.)
