Any version? \-Yes, any. Including the latest versions of React, TypeScript, etc. ? \-Yes. - The problem - A way to solve the issue of the outdated packages - A bit of theory - Implementation - Scaffold SPFx project for SharePoint 2019 - Create externals library to host your web part code - Add webpack build into the external lib - Fix localized resources -....
Hydra is attacking porcupine? Well, actually not. Because Hydra is Lerna.js and porcupine is a SharePoint Framework solution with library components. Most likely you've heard about SharePoint Framework and library component, but not about Lerna. Lerna is A tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. Sounds simple, but probably still not...
This is a small tip for anybody who hates typing because it's too long and error-prone (or you're lazy like me :)). Check out below animation: What if we can simply type in order to scaffold the project? Well, we are in 2019 and of course, it's possible :) NOTE: Solution windows users only. Sorry MacOs :(. I'm pretty sure there is an alternative for Mac as.....
Almost a year ago Waldek Mastykarz posted a great article on how to debug your SharePoint Framework solution in production, where all the code is minified and source maps are not available. While it works, there is a manual step of uploading source maps in google chrome's dev tools, which isn't very convenient. I extended Waldek's solution with fully...
SharePoint Framework 1.8 is out and gives us a lot of new things. Check out SPFx 1.8 release notes to learn more. Among different generally available features, we also received some items in "beta" mode. One of them is a library component type. Library component currently is in preview and most likely will be generally available in SharePoint Framework 1.9.....
The source code with samples from this post is here at GitHub (also supports fast-serve!). Have you ever found yourself writing something like this in your SharePoint Framework web parts: Above code has a few issues: - Readability of such code is not at the best level. A lot of parent relative paths like "../../../" don't look good - It looks ridiculous to.....
This post is mostly for Googlers, who experience unexpected issues with SharePoint Framework (like I did). Whether you like it or not, sometimes shit happens. Usually, I don't use spaces in paths to my projects, however, one day for some reason I decided it was a great idea (probably I was trying to be more creative). And I paid for it. If you have created a...
So you want to build an SPFx webpart which uses MS Graph API through PnPjs. Here is step by step guide on how to do that. A few months ago I wrote a similar post, however, things were changed, some things were simplified a lot, that’s why this is a revisited guide. Also, I’ve addressed some additional steps here. The source code is available on the official....
SPFx 1.6 was released recently with new features which support secure connection to Azure AD protected APIs. During upgrade some things in your tenant and Azure AD were changed. For some users migration didn’t go smoothly and they saw strange errors in different places. I’m in the group of users who experienced errors and had to fight with them. Fortunately....
\- Classic pages you said? \- Yes! You read it right. MS Graph API from classic SharePoint page. However please read it first: That’s not an official or recommended way. That’s just a proof of concept, which uses some tenant features introduced with SPFx 1.6. That’s something I decided to try out when SPFx 1.6 was out. Use it on your own risk. When to use...
