The Microsoft Graph Toolkit (MGT) is a collection of reusable, framework-agnostic components and authentication providers for accessing and working with Microsoft Graph. The components are fully functional right out of the box, with built in providers that authenticate with and fetch data from Microsoft Graph. MGT has a nice and simple integration with...

In this post, we're going to build a prototype of an outlook add-in, which saves the current email to your OneDrive.

ESLint nowadays supports TypeScript with help of a plugin and parser. SharePoint Framework build pipeline is not as fast as the JavaScript tooling world and still uses...

From Azure Function we further call SharePoint endpoints to get some data. We use PnP Core SDK to interact with SharePoint. For simplicity, the API endpoint returns all list titles in a web, where we're...
