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.

    todoItems?: ITodoItem[]; 
    showNewTodoPanel?: boolean; 
    newItemTitle?: string; 
    newItemDone?: boolean; 
} 

Here, we declare all objects and variables that we are using to describe the state of our ReactTodo component. Note that all of them are marked as optional with a question mark. When we change the state of our component with the this.setState function, we don't always want to change all of the values, and by making them optional, TypeScript allows us to change just one or a few of them.

In the interface that is used to describe the state of ReactTodo component, the most important property is todoItems, into which we will save the array of to-do items. Then, we have three properties to handle a new to-do item, as...
