SharePoint Development with the SharePoint Framework

Overview of this book

SharePoint is one of Microsoft's best known web platforms. A loyal audience of developers, IT Pros and power users use it to build line of business solutions. The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a great new option for developing SharePoint solutions. Many developers are creating full-trust based solutions or add-in solutions, while also figuring out where and how SPFx fits in the big picture. This book shows you how design, build, deploy and manage SPFx based solutions for SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2016. The book starts by getting you familiar with the basic capabilities of SPFx. After that, we will walk through the tool-chain on how to best create production-ready solutions that can be easily deployed manually or fully automated throughout your target Office 365 tenants. We describe how to configure and use Visual Studio Code, the de facto development environment for SPFx-based solutions. Next, we provide guidance and a solid approach to packaging and deploying your code. We also present a straightforward approach to troubleshooting and debugging your code an environment where business applications run on the client side instead of the server side.

Summary

We hope you've enjoyed reading and learning about the SharePoint Framework with this book. For us, learning about the SharePoint Framework, recalling details about past development models, and seeing how Microsoft actively expands the reach of these new development models to SharePoint 2016 and beyond has been exciting. Throughout the months leading up to this chapter, we've written, tested, deployed, redeployed, and configured SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2016. We're certain that the SharePoint Framework is here to stay, but at the same time, it will evolve rapidly in the coming months and years. For now, it seems that this model is the one that has stuck, and yet another development model is not around the corner. Developers are free to pick whichever features they seem comfortable with and choose not to use other aspects of SPFx; that is the beauty of this more open and more rapidly evolving model, a model that SharePoint has not seen before.

Thank you for...
