builds
• lib: created automatically when you build the project
• node_modules: this is created automatically when you build your
project, it includes all the npm packages your solution relies upon and
their dependencies
• src: this is the main folder of the project, it includes the web part,
styles, and a test file
• temp: created automatically when you build your project – holds
production builds
• typings: includes some type definition files. Most type definitions are

13. Defines the main entry point for the web part
Extends the BaseClientSideWebPart.
All client-side webs part must extend the
BaseClientSideWebPart class in order to be
defined as a valid web part
import { IHelloWorldWebPartProps } from './IHelloWorldWebPartProps';
export default class HelloWorldWebPart extends
BaseClientSideWebPart<IHelloWorldWebPartProps>
{
// code omitted
}

14. Defines the interface for moving properties
between different classes in the web part
export interface IHelloWorldWebPartProps {
description: string;
}

15. Defines the web part metadata
{
"$schema": "../../../node_modules/@microsoft/sp-module-
interfaces/lib/manifestSchemas/jsonSchemas/clientSideComponentManifestSchema.json",

}

17. Defines the TypeScript typings for the web part
styles
/* tslint:disable */
require('./HelloWorld.module.css');
const styles = {

24. Areas in the page available
for Application Customizer
to embed customizations
for end users. Application
Customizer can be also
invisible for the end users.
• Allow us to register a piece of JavaScript on every page within a SharePoint site
• Comes with a contract from Microsoft about specific elements on the page, such as
headers and footers.
• Not delegate controls, but similar
• Navigation, Branding, Analytics etc

25. Command Set customizer can be used
to introduce new custom actions to a
list. Can be configured to be active
when numerous items are selected.
Executes associated custom code when
clicked.
• Command sets which we knew as custom actions
• Command bar, Contextual Menu/ECB Menu
• On click, executes JavaScript

26. Field customizer can be used to
customize experiences around the
specific fields. You can associate field
customizer component to a specific
field instance to make a customization
execute when it’s used.
• Register a JavaScript object that will replace the rendering of a field within a
SharePoint list or document library
• KPI Visualization, Button/Control, Formatting Values
• Similar to JSLink

27. • More new Capabilities
 Web part to web part connections
 OpenId Connect support for 3rd party solutions - Call easily other services
hosted in Office 365 without complexity of additional consent. Gradual
extension of capabilities.
