https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/

Node Package Manager
 Online repository of packages
 Allows for quick installation into your projects
 Packages developed by 3rd party
individuals/teams on GitHub
 …similar to Android/iOS app store but for
JavaScript.

Yeoman
 ‘yo‘ scaffolds out a new application
 Writing your build configuration (e.g Gulpfile)
 Pulling in relevant build tasks and package
manager dependencies (e.g npm)
 Uses ‘generators’ which define the scaffolding
workflow
 …based on a ‘template’, creates directories,
sets up project files and downloads
dependencies

Gulp
 A toolkit to automate & enhance your
workflow
 Automate slow, repetitive workflows and
compose them into efficient build pipelines.
 …task runner to do very simple tasks in parallel
or series

Webpack
 Used to compile JavaScript modules.
 Handles dependencies between modules
automatically
 Transpiles Code
 …takes all your files + dependencies [npm
packages] and creates 1 JavaScript file

TypeScript
 Open Source language developed
by Microsoft
 Superset of JavaScript
 Compiles to plain JavaScript
 Brings strong type checking /
compile-time error checks
 …makes JavaScript more like C#,
typing, object oriented

interfaces, inheritance

SharePoint Framework (SPFx)
 Page / Web Part model that provides full support for client-side SharePoint development
 Easy integration with SharePoint data
 Support for Open Source tooling
 “The” customization model for Office 365
 Support for SharePoint 2016 Feature Pack 2, SharePoint 2019, & Office 365

Key Features
 It runs in the context of the current user and connection in the browser.
 NO iframes(JavaScript is embedded directly to the page).
 The controls are rendered in the normal page DOM.
 It is framework-agnostic. You can use any JavaScript framework that you like: React, Handlebars,
Knockout, Angular, and more.
 The toolchain is based on common open source client development tools such as npm,
TypeScript, Yeoman, webpack, and gulp.
 End users can use SPFx client-side solutions that are approved by the tenant administrators (or
their delegates) on all sites, including self-service team, group, or personal sites.
 SPFx web parts can be added to both classic and modern pages.

Create Web Part Project
 Create a new project directory in your favorite location.
 md helloworld-webpart
 Go to the project directory.
 cd helloworld-webpart
 Create a new HelloWorld web part by running the Yeoman SharePoint Generator.
 yo @microsoft/sharepoint

Create Web Part Project (cont)
 When prompted:
 Accept the default helloworld-webpart as your solution name, and then select Enter.
 Select SharePoint Online only (latest), and select Enter.
 Select Use the current folder for where to place the files.
 Select N to allow the solution to be deployed to all sites immediately.
 Select N on the question if solution contains unique permissions.
 Select WebPart as the client-side component type to be created.

 The next set of prompts ask for
specific information about your web
part:
 Accept the default HelloWorld as
your web part name, and then
select Enter.
 Accept the default HelloWorld
description as your web part
description, and then select Enter.
 Accept the default No JavaScript
web framework as the framework
you would like to use, and then
select Enter.1

 At this point, Yeoman installs the
required dependencies and
scaffolds the solution files along
with the HelloWorld web part. This
might take a few minutes.
 When the scaffold is complete, you
should see the following message
indicating a successful scaffold.

Preview the web part
 Enter the following command in the
console to open VS Code:
 code .
 Enter the following to open the
Terminal in VS Code
 CTRL + `
 Enter the following command in the
terminal to build and preview your
web part:
 gulp serve

What is Happening?
 SharePoint client-side development tools use gulp as the task runner to handle build process
tasks such as:
 Bundling and minifying JavaScript and CSS files.
 Running tools to call the bundling and minification tasks before each build.
 Compiling SASS files to CSS.
 Compiling TypeScript files to JavaScript.

SharePoint Workbench
 Developer design
surface that enables
you to quickly preview
and test web parts
without deploying them
in SharePoint.

Add Your Web Part
 To add the HelloWorld web part, select the add icon (this icon
appears when you mouse hovers over a section as shown in the
previous image).
 This opens the toolbox where you can see a list of web parts
available for you to add. The list includes the HelloWorld web
part as well other web parts available locally in your
development environment.

Add Your Web Part (cont)
 Select HelloWorld to add the web
part to the page.

Congratulations
You have successfully deployed your first SPFx web part

Packaging the Web Part
 If gulp serve is still running, stop it from running by hitting, ctrl + C
 In the console window, enter the following command to package your client-side solution that
contains the web part:
 gulp clean
 gulp build --ship
 gulp bundle --ship
 gulp package-solution –-ship
For dev builds you don’t need the –ship but then you must be running gulp serve
Simple Build Script for the SharePoint Framework

Deploy to App Catalog
 Go to your site's app catalog.
 Upload or drag and drop
the helloworld-webpart.sppkg to
the app catalog.

Deploy to App Catalog (cont)
 This deploys the client-side
solution package. Because this is
a full trust client-side solution,
SharePoint displays a dialog and
asks you to trust the client-side
solution to deploy.
 Select Deploy.
 Notice that you can see if there's
any exceptions or issues in the
package by looking the App
Package Error Message column in
the app catalog.

Install App in Site
 Go to your developer site
collection or site collection
which you want to use for
testing
 Select the gears icon on the
top nav bar on the right, and

enter helloworld, and select
Enter to filter your apps.

Install App in Site (cont)
 Select the helloworld-
webpart-client-side-
solution app to install the
app on the site.
 The client-side solution
and the web part are
installed on your
developer site.

Add Web Part to Modern Page
 In your browser, go to your site
where the solution was just
installed.
 Select the gears icon in the top
nav bar on the right, and then
select Add a page.
 Edit the page.
 Open the web part picker and
select your HelloWorld web
part.

Create a Custom List
 Navigate to your site
 Gear > Add an app > Custom List
 Name: Test
 Make at least 2 items

Live Development
 Enter the following command in the console to build and
preview your web part:
 gulp serve
 On the Page with the webpart add the following to the end of
the url
 ?loadSPFX=true&debugManifestsFile=https://localhost
:4321/temp/manifests.js
 BONUS: use SP-Editor [Chrome Extension] to load debug url
