Call summary 

 

Welcome to the bi-weekly call focused on Microsoft 365 client-side development.   In this call, we focus on using Viva Connections and SharePoint Framework to build solutions for Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online.

 

New this week 

 

Demos

  • Introduction to Adaptive Card Design Gallery reusable reference sample – solution includes 12 Adaptive Card Extensions (ACEs) and a personal app that showcases the ACEs and how deep links surface in Teams.  Each ACE (Event scheduling, café menu, Calendar…) showcases functionality like collapsing menus, scrolling through articles, conditional formatting, UI design, etc.  From Teams app click to see ACE in Adaptive Cards Schema Explorer.  Step through code for Event Scheduler ACE. 
  • Using Adaptive Cards control from the PnP control gallery in SPFx solutions – learn about and step through implementation of the "AdaptiveCardHost" PnP React component using the Adaptive Card SDK.   The host control delivers the ability to change UI at runtime without having to recompile the SPFx solution.  Simple configuration in property pane - select a card to render and apply a theme aligned to SharePoint or Teams environment.  Uses Fluent UI.  Step through code, future updates.
  • Navigating Cards in Viva Connections ACEs – how we can manage navigation inside ACEs with SPFx.   Every ACE has navigation properties (Navigators) that can be used to navigate across Card View(s) and Quick View(s).  Functionality includes Read the current item ID, Register and Push, Pop & Replace.  You can rely on these objects to precisely manage the ACE navigation flow and stack.  Code for functionality including Start and Restart logic shown.          

 

The host of this call is Patrick Rodgers (Microsoft) | @mediocrebowler.  Q&A takes place as always in chat throughout the call.
