SharePoint hosted apps can be used to deploy Lists, workflows, site columns, content types, custom pages and other SharePoint artifacts. SharePoint Hosted App is now renamed as SharePoint Hosted Add-in. In this article we will see how to,
- Create a set of site columns
- Create a content type and add the site columns to the content type and
- Create a list based on the new content type
Let’s get started with the SharePoint hosted app creation with Visual Studio,

- Select the App for SharePoint 2013 template.

- Specify the Site URL for debugging and mention the app type as SharePoint hosted.

- Right Click the Project name and select Add ->New Item,

- Since we will be first creating site columns select the Site Column item into the project.

- You will get an Elements.xml file along with the site column item. In the elements.xml add field tags for each of the site columns you would like to add to the Site. Make sure you specify the Data Type correctly. ‘Name’ will be the internal name and ‘Display Name’ will be the name shown in the UI.
