SharePoint Saturday Twin Cities - SharePoint Framework, Angular & Azure Functions
- 1. SharePoint Framework,Angular & Azure Functions The modern SharePoint developer tool belt Sébastien Levert
- 2. Hi! I’m Seb! @sebastienlevert | http://sebastienlevert.com | Product Evangelist & Partner Manager at
- 4. Agenda
- 7. Angular… But which version ? • Works well with Angular 1.6 • Works OK with Angular 2 • Works awesome with Angular 4 (Did you just say Angular 4!?)
- 8. Is that even possible ? • Some are thinking it is mission impossible… But it is! And it’s much more simpler than you think. • You have the full power of Angular within you own SPFx webparts • Multiple webparts can exist in a page, including their own routing configuration
- 9. What are the limitations? • Size of the bundle is huge, watch for performance issues! • Webpack becomes slow when compiling yourTypeScript code • Not built in to SPFx, so you need to build your own wrapper (I have code for that!) • Some variables are still global in Angular, it can become problematic in complex solutions.
- 10. Lessons learned • Never use any class or ids from the DOM. Always use theViewChild attribute. • You can use html templates using the require() approach.Try to do that with React! • When you have a strong AngularJS background, it feels just a little bit weird to move to Angular, but you will get used to it!
- 11. Azure Functions
- 12. Why Azure Functions ? • Cheap way to host any API in Azure • You can use your favorite language • Super cheap to run • Perfect companion for any Single Page Application or any JavaScript component
- 13. Our scenario • Using the PnP PowerShell Cmdlets • Connecting to the Microsoft Graph and to an Azure AD Application • Creating a ModernTeam Site (in under 15 seconds) based on a set of parameters • Boom!
- 14. Make it happen
- 15. The full scenario • Build a SharePoint Framework WebPart • Use Angular as our main Framework • Include 3 routes (Home, New Site and Site Information) • Use Azure Function as my backend provisioning API • Use the Office UI Fabric components
- 16. What about the Office UI Fabric ? • Well…You have 2 choices : Build or Reuse • My choice ? Reuse ! • But Seb… It’s Angular, I can’t reuse what does not exist… • Well…The React components exist, just reuse them !
