Templates used to be XML-based definitions, called Site Definitions. These would reside on the SharePoint servers in an on-premises deployment, but one couldn't directly modify these. The reason was that all SharePoint default files, that reside in the so-called SharePoint Hive (or SharePoint Root) on the file system, might be updated in any upcoming service pack, cumulative update, hotfix, or public update. Thus, if you edited even one XML file just slightly, you would run into unforeseen provisioning troubles, or even render yourself in a state that your SharePoint deployment would be unsupported.

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.
