M365, SharePoint and related technologies
The latest release of #PnPjs contains 4 new methods that allow you to copy and move, #SharePoint files and folders, to a different folder on the same or a different site collection. And they are incredibly fast!
With SharePoint Framework, Microsoft also introduced a really good development story for creating custom web parts: the Workbench page. This page is not only available when you are developing solutions locally, but also on a SharePoint site. This gives you the option to access data on a SharePoint site from code running on your machine. Let's be honest, it's great! But it dies have some limitations...
If you know me or follow me on Twitter/LinkedIn, you must have realized by now how much I like the PnPjs library. But this library will hopefully get even better soon by providing support for Project Online REST API!
With a recent update to allow it to easily connect to APIs secured with Azure Active Directory, SharePoint Framework is the new King of enterprise solutions. As a SharePoint developer, this means that you will likely have to create Azure Web Apps or Functions to be consumed by your SharePoint Framework application, so why not use an ARM template for common scenarios? The following ARM template will, hopefully come handy and save you some time.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking at SharePoint Saturday Leicester. Very well organized event and with a good number of attendees, especially considering that it was the first event.
The PnP PeoplePicker reusable control is one of the amazing reusable controls available from the open source @pnp/spfx-controls-react project that you can use in your SharePoint Framework projects. Today I found a small issue with this control, and while a fix is not yet available, you can implement a very simple workaround.
Had an amazing time at SharePoint Saturday Barcelona last weekend! The event was very well organized and had really nice sessions to attend. Really hope that everyone who attended had a great time.
The PnP TaxonomyPicker reusable control doesn't have a property to let you mark the input control as a required field on a form, but fortunately this can be easily addressed.
If you are a SharePoint developer creating SPFx solutions, you must have heard about the PnP reusable controls and PnPJS library. They help you accelerate the development of custom solutions by providing tools that help you overcome common problems/requirements.
After seriously considering the idea multiple times over the last years, I have finally decided to create my own blog. The idea of not having the time to regularly create new content put me off before, but not this time. This time I had to do it, no matter what!
