It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labelled with dates paralleling it, and coexisting events. This web part helps to draw the timeline based from SharePoint list with pre-defined schema. ![Web part preview][figure1] When added to SharePoint site, the source list containing timeline information, layout, date format, and sort direction can be configured from web part properties. ![SharePoint list schema][figure2] Users with "Manage Web" permissions will be able to add, edit, and delete events from web part. ![Event CRUD][figure3] ### Layouts The sample helps to represent the timeline in 2 layouts: **Vertical layout** Represents the events vertically one below other. ![Vertical layout][figure4] **Horizontal layout** Represents the events horizontally one after other. ![Horizontal layout][figure5] ### SharePoint Asset A SharePoint list (named "Timeline") is provisioned to store the timeline information, along with supported site columns and content type. The schema of the list is as below. ![List Schema][figure6] - The "Title" column stores the event title. - The "Event Date" column represents the date of event. - The "Picture" column stores the url of image to be displayed for the event. - The "Link" column represents the url to event. - The "Description" column represents the more information about the event. The sample also provisions sample data to the "Timeline" list, which can be used as an example to start using the web part. ![List Sample Data][figure7] ### NPM Packages Used Below NPM package is used to develop this sample. 1. @pnp/sp (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pnp/sp) 2. @pnp/spfx-controls-react (https://pnp.github.io/sp-dev-fx-controls-react/) 3. @pnp/spfx-property-controls (https://pnp.github.io/sp-dev-fx-property-controls/) 4.
