Microsoft Teams Customization Using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)
In this chapter, we will introduce you to the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), a modern development model for SharePoint. We will also cover how you can bring the customizations built for SharePoint to Microsoft Teams. First, we will start with a history of SharePoint development just to set the context and understand what it is. Then, we will cover the open source tools we need to develop the SharePoint Framework components and how to install and configure them.
These are the main topics we’ll cover in this chapter:
- SharePoint development history
- Setting up an SPFx development environment.
- Developing your first Teams tab using the SPFx
- Leveraging the SPFx for Teams
This book is about customization on Teams, so we will focus on building customizations with the SPFx for Teams. If you want to explore the SPFx further, you can learn more about web parts, extensions, and the library components...
