PnP PeoplePicker reusable control disabled

The PnP PeoplePicker reusable control is one of the amazing reusable controls available from the open-source @pnp/spfx-controls-react project. You can easily include it in your SharePoint Framework projects. Unfortunately, and at the moment, there is a bug that prevents you from completely disabling the control.

PnP TaxonomyPicker reusable control as a required field

The PnP TaxonomyPicker reusable control doesn’t have a property to let you mark the input control as a required field on a form, but fortunately, this can be easily addressed.

If you have used the PnP TaxonomyPicker reusable control before, you may have noticed that it doesn’t have a property to make it required, nor does it have a property that lets you add a custom CSS class to it. The problem is that your other required input controls on the form will have a ‘*’ after the label, but not the TaxonomyPicker controls.

But there is a very simple way to solve this because the control also has a Label control, so we can mimic the styles from other Office UI Fabric input controls.

SharePoint Framework with Visio JavaScript APIs

I’ve recently worked on a client project where I used the Visio JavaScript APIs in a custom SharePoint web part. The web part was used to embed Visio files on a SharePoint page, and access custom properties from the file. The property values are then used to generate a custom and dynamic user interface.

SharePoint Framework – new project checklist

Starting a new project generally requires some initial setup before you can jump into code. SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is no exception.

Unfortunately, we often forget to configure something that then needs to be added during the development phase, which may introduce some issues. I hope you find this article helpful the next time you create a new project.

TSLint errors on VS Code using SPFx default rules

I like to use the TSLint extension on Visual Studio Code to immediately flag errors. This is very useful as you can see them before you save and wait for a build task to flag them. What I don’t like, is that the TSLint config file (tslint.config) is generated inside the config folder by the SPFx Yeoman generator.
