Minimal Path to Awesome

  • Clone this repository
  • in the command line run:
    • npm install
    • gulp serve

Features

This sample illustrates the following concepts on top of the SharePoint Framework:

  • Get data terms using Microsoft Graph API (beta).
  • React Hooks
  • Using async / await for the async calls
  • Caching the data in session storage
  • Usage of PnP SPFx controls (Maps and Placeholder)
  • Office UI fabric components

Enhancements

  • Currently, this web part supports 2-level cascading. So there is scope to enhance this such that it supports more levels of cascading dynamically.
  • Currently, this web part reads latitude and longitude from description of the city terms. If there is a way of getting these from the custom properties of the city terms, then that needs to be implemented.
