Tiles

NOTE: This sample is available in the PnP Starter Kit. You can find the sample code for this web part at https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-starter-kit/tree/master/solution/src/webparts/tiles.

This web part provides you the ability to add a per instance listing of tiled links. Tiles are stored as a collection of tiles within the web part's properties, removing the need for link storage within SharePoint lists, tenant properties, or other external link storage requirements.
