What we're going to build in this post: 1. Azure web job, which is triggered by a queue message from a custom site template (previously known as site design). The job uses PnP Framework to provision a new site based on the PnP template. 2. MS Teams bot, which pushes notifications to the configured channel about the provisioning state. As usual, for such...
As a developer, how many times have you had a need to test different Microsoft 365 APIs? For me, this is a fairly frequent task. Most often it's SharePoint REST API or MS Graph. Every time you should think about the authentication part because all of those APIs are protected. With MS Graph explorer it's simple, however, you cannot test any other API except.....
Sometimes you have a need to call an Azure Function with Azure AD enabled authentication from Logic App or from another Function or Azure Web App. For example, you have an API for your SPFx solution and also have a requirement to build a Logic App, which uses some methods from the web API. In that case, you should somehow perform the authentication to call.....
In this post, I'm going to cover different options when it comes to accessing organizational data from SPFx web parts. By organizational data I mean the most common APIs like SharePoint or MS Graph. However, it's valid for all other APIs as well. I'm going to cover two primary options here. The first one doesn't include any custom services or custom APIs and...
This post challenge: We have an SPFx solution, which performs HTTP calls to our API (protected with Azure AD authentication), hosted on Azure Functions. 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...
You have a custom SharePoint Site Design, which executes (through MS Flow or Azure Logic App) PnP Provisioning process. You want to notify users that the site is not fully ready yet and it's still being updated (by background provisioning, which might take a long time). One option is to use two-way interactive communication between the SharePoint web site...
SPFx 1.6 was released recently and a lot of new and interesting features were introduced. AadTokenProvider, AadHttpClient, MSGraphClient went to GA, which are my favorite features. One of the common thing in SPFx development is accessing other resources, protected with Azure AD. For example you might have your LOB API with Azure AD protection and you want to...
Consuming third party or your own Azure AD protected API from SPFx code is a very common need. I wrote a blog post series on that topic, the first one you can find here. All solutions I covered have their own pros and cons, however the less painful and recommended solution is AadHttpClient (available in SPFx 1.6 and onwards). AadHttpClient approach has less....

Story #1.1: Azure Web App with ASP.NET Core 2.x and cookie authentication (xhr "with credentials") 3. Call Azure AD secured API from your SPFx code. Story #2: Web app (or Azure...
