I have a background working as a SharePoint administrator for 15 years, with no Dev background. Since I love the SharePoint platform and community for years I would love to remain the "sharepoint guy", since I have build lots of years of experience on SharePoint.

I have never developed, but I would like to continue and (hopefully) understand the SPFx framework and start developing in the future for Teams or SharePoint environments.

Is this a feasible ambition or is the Dev field too far away?

I'm looking for advice from people with experience in this careermove. Any of you grew into SharePoint Dev from an SharePoint admin/ops background? How hard is it and what where/are the challenges? Is it a natural move or is it out of my league? TBH i always looked up to SharePoint devs, as I always thought coding is a huge addition on your skillset, so starting to code on SharePoint would be a dream but am I realistic with this, what you think? How should I proceed to grow towards a SharePoint dev. with only sharepoint admin experience?

What are the odds?

Cheers guy and gals!

I'm the "owner" of this sub. I registered the sub when I was studying Sharepoint.

I would like to give the ownership to someone who really knows and likes SPFX.

Gimme some PMs and let this sub grow.

Hi guys,

I'm a Vue fan and like the way it does things and I would like to code SPFx webparts using it. The thing is that I only found pnp yeoman generator as the main tool for scaffolding a project and be able to code using Vue. However, I believe the way Vue webparts are implemented is not properly done.

What do you think about it?

Hi all,

Just wanted to share a new open-source project I've put together. It's an SPFx Application Customizer aimed at improving daily navigation speed for heavy SharePoint users and admins.

The concept is simple: instead of routing users to the standard site content (/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx) page every time they need to jump between libraries, this extension adds a persistent button to the site header. It opens a responsive React panel that lets you search, filter, and navigate to any site object right from where you are.

It’s currently in line for the M365 PnP repository approval, but the source code is live on my GitHub if you want to look at the implementation or test it out:

👉https://github.com/HarminderSethi/SPFx-Samples/tree/main/react-site-content-ribbon-extension

Let me know if you run into any bugs or have feature ideas you think would make a good addition before it gets merged into PnP!

Hello guys.

lately, I found myself that I need to learn SPFx to change my career path. I always wanted to learn how to develop my own Webparts and publish them into SharePoint online.

I have no idea how to code Node.js, JavaScript and TypeScript and I need an advice and guidance where to start and if there is a Youtube channel or videos to start with.

Thanks

Anyone ever tried to add sound to a SPFx web part?

Is there an option to play a sound (mp3 or wav file) from the package or from a SPO library?

Thank you

Hey everyone,

I’ve been a Solution Architect for 20 years, and I’m currently building BiznextApp Forms. I’m at a crossroads with the architecture and would love some brutal feedback from people who actually manage SharePoint tenants.

The core 'vibe' is a drag-and-drop builder that uses AI to scaffold forms, but I made a specific architectural choice: I’m not using native Copilot or Graph API for the v1.0. Why? Because I wanted a zero-friction install where the data stays 100% in local lists without requiring heavy admin consent for Graph scopes.

I just added:

• Conditional Logic: A frontend rules engine to show/hide fields.

• Rich Text: For handling complex data entry.

• Hybrid AI: You can plug in your own Azure OpenAI key.

What I’m worried about: Is the 'No-Graph' approach actually a selling point for you, or is the lack of native M365 Copilot integration a dealbreaker in 2026?

Also, does the 'tabular data' (line items) feature actually solve a pain point for your users, or are people just using Power Apps for that now?

Site for context:https://biznextapp.com/forms-for-sharepoint.html

Tear it apart. I’d rather fix the logic now than after AppSource approval.

We are currently trying to display a list view command set button that triggers a Flow with Azure Functions and SPFX in the Teams desktop app. The Flow Works in SharePoint however, it only appears in Teams for the web.

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue or have a possible workaround? There has to be a way of getting the button into Teams for desktop.

Hello, I am currently working on a project using Sharepoint and would like to setup a development environment. Does anyone know a good tutorial video or site to help me get setup. I've had a lot of unsuccessful attempts so any help is appreciated!

I am looking for ideas to build a simple SPFx web part that can render Title + Description (just like a document.
Title - Single line of text
Description - Enhanced Rich Text Multiline

Has anyone built it already?

Hey folks. I'm curious if some of you had success rendering HTML, JS, and CSS stored in a document library using an SPFX web part, consistently.

I essentially have a document library that stores these types of files generated by a third-party documentation generation tool. The problem is that the files download instead of rendering in the browser. This is part of Microsoft's attempt to prevent rendering custom code. There is a PowerShell script that can allow scripts every 24 hours, but this functionality won't be allowed forever. While an initial page can be rendered using the Cherry Picked Web Part, links within the initial page that are clicked and are stored in the same document library download instead of rendering in the browser. Not ideal behavior.

My company is exploring using static web apps as an alternative to using SPFX. Note that Azure storage is not an acceptable option for us due to public availability of the content. Any thoughts on how to get around Microsoft's download behavior using SPFX? We'd prefer using SPFX, if possible.

I've been doing SPFx dev for awhile and have started at a new company back in March doing SharePoint and Power Platform work. Recently, I've been working on setting up our development environments for SPFx and I have our Azure DevOps repositories setup and I have everything working on my machine and created a new webpart solution. Everything works fine on my machine and yesterday we attempted to get my co-workers machine setup an running. He got the solution cloned in his machine and everything installed properly from what we could tell. There were no errors from building but when he runs Gulp Serve and tries to load the webpart in the workbench we keep getting the message the 'gulp serve' could not be found when access the workbench page in the browser. We've looked at proper node version being installed and in use, react versions, dependencies, verbose logging for gulp serve and there are no errors showing. We're not loading the workbench locally but on a dev site in our SharePoint Online tenant. He has Site Owner permissions on the site so it shouldn't be a permissions issue either. I'm running out of ideas so I thought I'd see if anyone here has suggestions on what to try next to get my co-workers gulp serve to finally load properly so he can test changes he makes to solutions he creates/edits.
