## Minimal Path to Awesome
|
|
|
|
- clone this repo
|
|
|
|
### Deploy custom Web API
|
|
|
|
- in the Azure Management Portal at https://portal.azure.com create a new API App
|
|
- in the settings enable CORS for all origins using an `*`
|
|
- copy the URL of the API App
|
|
- in your SharePoint site
|
|
- create a new list called **Tasks**
|
|
- navigate to https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx
|
|
- generate client ID and copy it
|
|
- generate client secret and copy it
|
|
- as the name use: **SPFx sample elevated privileges**
|
|
- as the URL use the URL of the Azure API App created previously
|
|
- as the domain use the host name of the Azure API App
|
|
- navigate to https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx
|
|
- lookup the newly registered Add-in using the client ID you copied
|
|
- in the **Permissions** field past the following code:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
|
|
<AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web/list" Right="Write" />
|
|
</AppPermissionRequests>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- after confirming the changes, when prompted, select the previously created **Tasks** list
|
|
- from the **api** folder, in Visual Studio open the **pnp.api.elevatedprivileges.sln** file
|
|
- in the web.config file
|
|
- update the value of the **clientId** setting with the previously copied client ID
|
|
- update the value of the **clientSecret** setting with the previously copied client secret
|
|
- update hte value of the **siteUrl** setting with the URL of your SharePoint site
|
|
- if you named your list other than **Tasks** update the value of the **listName** property with the name of your list
|
|
- build the solution
|
|
- deploy the **pnp.api.elevatedprivileges** project to the newly created API App
|
|
- verify that you can access the API by navigating in your web browser to **https://your-api-app.azurewebsites.net/api/items**
|
|
- you should get an error that GET is not a supported method
|
|
|
|
### Configure web part
|
|
|
|
- in the command line
|
|
- change the working directory to the **webpart** folder
|
|
- run `npm i`
|
|
- in your code editor open the **webpart** folder
|
|
- in the **./src/webparts/createTask/components/CreateTask.tsx** file
|
|
- in line 76 replace the URL with the URL of your API App
|
|
- in the command line execute `gulp serve`
|
|
- add the web part to SharePoint workbench
|
|
- enter the name of the new item and click the **Create** button
|
|
- verify that a new item with the name you specified has been created in the Tasks list
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
This project contains sample Web API using app-only permissions to create items in a specific SharePoint list, and a client-side web part connected to that API.
|
|
|
|
This project illustrates the following concepts:
|
|
- elevating user privileges for communicating with SharePoint through a custom Web API
|
|
- connecting SharePoint Framework client-side web part to a custom Web API hosted in Azure
|
|
- persisting state in React components
|
|
- communicating state updates in React components to users
|
|
- executing REST API web requests from React components
|
|
- using Office UI Fabric React components in SharePoint Framework client-side web parts
|
|
- using form controls in Rest components
