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.

Understanding how debugging works

Before knowing how to debug, it is important to know how debugging works for JavaScript applications and what the core concepts behind this process are.

As mentioned at the very beginning of this book in Chapter 1, Introducing Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online for Developers, SPFx solutions are client-side solutions, meaning they use JavaScript code executed directly in a web browser (among various other assets, such as CSS and images). To be able to debug them efficiently, JavaScript solutions rely on source map files.

Source maps are an essential feature in modern web development that greatly simplify the debugging process. Because the SPFx build toolchain uses many intermediate steps before producing the final JavaScript bundle, making several transformations on it (transpiling, minifying, etc.), the code structure you wrote in your editor won’t be the code executed in the browser. This makes it difficult to follow and understand...
