Practical SharePoint Framework (SPFx) Development

By: Franck Cornu, Anoop T.

Overview of this book

The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) has revolutionized how developers create custom solutions for Microsoft 365. Whether you're building Web Parts, extensions, or full-fledged applications, mastering SPFx is essential for delivering modern and scalable SharePoint solutions. Authored by experienced SPFx developers, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to developing with SPFx, offering practical examples, structured guidance, and best practices. You’ll start by understanding the Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365 ecosystem before exploring hands-on development with SPFx. You’ll learn how to create Web Parts, work with the property pane, connect to APIs, deploy solutions, and implement different types of extensions. Additionally, the book covers debugging, testing, and upgrading solutions efficiently. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently build, deploy, and manage SharePoint solutions using SPFx while leveraging community tools and libraries to enhance development efficiency.

Comparing npm packages with SPFx library components

Library components are not the only way to mutualize software code for SPFx solutions. You can also use traditional npm packages and consume them as dependencies in your code through the package.json file, using the same linking mechanism (using npm link). However, in such cases, you will be responsible for the package publishing process (for instance, as part of your DevOps process) and need to use a dedicated platform to host and distribute these packages to your consuming solution. Also – and because in an enterprise scenario, you likely won’t publish your packages publicly – the chosen hosting platform needs to support private packages. Among them, we can mention the most popular ones:

  • npmjs.com through private packages
  • Azure Artifacts on Azure DevOps
  • GitHub Packages on GitHub Enterprise
  • JFrog Artifactory

The following table summarizes the npm package and SPFx library component options...
