SharePoint SPFX components basic details and understanding

Microsoft developed SharePoint, a web-based platform that enables businesses and organisations to share and manage documents and information. The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a set of client-side tools and components that can be used to construct unique solutions on top of SharePoint. The creation of a SharePoint SPFx component will be covered in this blog.

Let's address specific requirements before creating a SharePoint SPFx component. Install the necessary software on your computer:

  1. Version 10 or later of Node.js
  2. SharePoint Framework (SPFx) generator using Git
  3. Now that all the prerequisites have been deployed, let's start developing the SharePoint SPFx component.

Start by making a new SPFx project.

Making a new SPFx application is the initial step. Launch the command prompt and execute the following commands 

yo @microsoft/sharepoint


The Yeoman generator for the SharePoint Framework will be started using this command. You will be prompted to enter details about your project, including its name, description, and the SharePoint environment in which you intend to use the component.

Add a new web component in step two.

The project will get a new web portion in the second step. To add a new web part, enter the following command:

yo @microsoft/sharepoint:spfx
The SharePoint Framework Yeoman generator will be restarted by this command. This time, it will request some details from you regarding the web portion, like its name, description, and the framework you intend to use.

Step 3: Enhance the web part's functionality

We will provide the web portion functionality in the third phase. Add your custom code by opening the web part file (src/webparts/MyWebPart/MyWebPart.ts). To create your web portion, you can use any client-side framework like React, Angular, or Vue.js.

Build and test the component in step four.

We will construct and test the component in the fourth stage. To create the component, enter the following command:

gulp build
With this command, your code will be compiled and a distributable package (dist folder) created. This package can be installed in any SharePoint environment.

Run the following command to test the component:

gulp serve
Using this command, you can test your component on a local development server.

Deploy the component in Step 5

The component will be installed in a SharePoint environment as the last step. To package and deploy the component, provide the following command:

gulp bundle --ship && gulp package-solution --ship
In your SharePoint environment, this command will produce a package (sharepoint/solution/my-web-part.sppkg) that you may add to the App Catalogue. Any SharePoint site can use the component when the package has been posted.

Conclusion

We covered how to create a SharePoint SPFx component in this article. You can create unique solutions on top of SharePoint using the potent technology known as SharePoint SPFx. Utilising client-side technology, SPFx enables you to create web components, extensions, and other customizations. You can build your own unique SharePoint SPFx component and install it in your SharePoint environment by following the instructions in this blog.
