Actions:

 

Demos:

  • Apply a custom theme or a variation of the current SharePoint theme directly to the web part – see the 3 ways to change shading using the Fluent UI Theme variant inside a web part.  1) Use colors applied to the section where the web part is present, 2) Select color variations based on theme applied at Site level or 3) Apply variations set to the json of a custom theme, created through the Fluent UI Theme Designer tool.   

  • Accessing personal files easily with My OneDrive Web Part – a simple, powerful SPFx webpart for an Intranet Landing or Viva connections page to display the current user’s One Drive files.  Uses the One Drive Graph API and a custom component - OneDriveTable.  Shows User’s One Drive files and folders, most file type icons, breadcrumbs, sorting by column, select columns to display, and option to copy URL to file in OneDrive.   Full code walkthrough.    

  • Surface user specific calendar events with my Outlook events web part build – this SPFx React My Outlook Events web part uses event feeds and renders events using a look and feel consistent with the out-of-box SharePoint Group calendar/events web part.  This web part provides the logged in user's Outlook events with some advanced feature configuration – layouts for rendering single and multi-day events, selectable date range, and navigation direct to Teams meeting. Full code walkthrough.
