Actions:

 

Demos:

  • Hyperscript Tagged Markup (HTM) Templating – approaches to web part UI development – use a UI framework or use a templating system.  Option C:  React HTM Templating web part - uses Fluent UI components written in React, no wrapper required.  Renders the React control as a template.  Essentially JS code evaluated through the Function constructor.  Review properties, HTML editing, and code in the demo of this PnP sample. 

  • Modernize your SharePoint Framework projects – see steps to take an existing SPFx project using TSLint and move it over to ESLint and dump IE11 at same time.  Install and configure ESLint, and update gulp tasks - effectively telling TypeScript complier to use modern js target and update referenced libraries.   Then appreciate Andrew’s ESLint preset for SPFx that automates the update!  Bonus - updating yields smaller and faster bundles.

  • Building advanced image gallery experience with SharePoint Framework – this Lightbox Image Gallery web part, connects to SharePoint document/picture library, handles folders/sub-folders, has breadcrumb navigation, and lightbox-style image browsing.  Works with Viva desktop in Microsoft Teams as well.   Developed using SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and PnPjs.  Code structure is reviewed.  From property pane, select document or image library to connect.  Demonstrates how with little code and using PnP components, one can deliver an elegant result!
