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...
Unfortunately, I haven't used Microsoft Flow in production yet. I read docs, I've tried some basic things, I saw a lot of cool presentations around MS Flow and different integration options. From what I saw and tried so far MS Flow is an extremely powerful tool to automate processes. You can do so many cool things (of course if you have enough experience)!.....

Most likely this changes haven’t been officially introduced yet, use this post as spoilers to potential upcoming features. If you want...
A few months ago I’ve created a site, where you can explore SharePoint REST API - SharePoint REST API Metadata Explorer. With REST API explorer you can navigate between different endpoints, explore their structure, methods, classes and parameters. REST API explorer uses \api/$metadata endpoint to get the REST API data, parses it and presents in tree view...
\- 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...
