Curious about sharing code in SharePoint Framework projects? Explore the advantages of NPM packages over SPFx library components!

Today I’m excited to share a new regular show: CloudDev Clarity. In this show, Julie Turner & Andrew Connell discuss topics for Microsoft 365 & Azure developers.

Learn how to use Azure Bicep to create resources reliably & orchestrate changes and embrace infrastructure as code (IaC) in your Azure projects.

Learn how to configure your development environment for NPM to work with corporate web proxies to install NPM packages.

This is a story about a mea culpa. You should have been installing the gulp-cli package globally (as the docs show), not gulp globally. To better understand why, keep reading.

Since the SharePoint Framework initial v1 release, I’ve seen questions coming up about a concept that confuses developers. This is a simple concept, one that could have been avoided with a better naming decision many years ago. In this post, I’m going to attempt to clear it up.

Learn how to test public preview release of SPFx and get some tips on managing your SPFx dev environment (USE NVM!).

Let’s kick off my first update for 2021 by taking a look at the State of SharePoint Client-Side Development. In this post, I’ll give you an update on where we are with popular frameworks and tools developers use in the client-side SharePoint development world.

As we near the end of 2020, I wanted to take a look at where we are with respect to the State of SharePoint Client-Side Development. In this post, I’ll give you an update on where we are with popular frameworks and tools developers use in the client-side SharePoint development world.

In this post, I’ll explain how you can validate OAuth tokens generated by Azure Active Directory (AD) in your custom apps.

The latest version of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) released a few weeks ago, v1.7.0, uncovered a few issues between how the various Node.js package managers work. These issues appear to be rooted in the package tslint and came about with a change in how Microsoft was using tslint under the covers from SPFx v1.6 to v1.7. A fix has been submitted to tslint, but they appear to be lagging on their release schedule so there’s no ETA on when it will get rolled out.

I’ve seen more and more questions since the folks at NPM added an automatic scan for vulnerabilities after every NPM install. What’s going on? The NPM registry runs a security audit on NPM packages. With the release of NPM v6, this command is run automatically when you execute an npm install on your project. You can manually run one of these audits by executing the command npm audit (ref: npm-audit docs ).

In this post, Andrew Connell shares why he things NVM is a fantastic tool for developers who rely on Node.js… including SharePoint Framework developers!
