Build and run the tutorials

To build and run this client-side project, you will need to clone and build the tutorials project. Because the solution retrieves its data from SharePoint, you will also need a custom list named IT Requests with some data in it. To preview the web part use the hosted version of the SharePoint Workbench loaded in the context of the site where the Tasks list is located.

Clone this repo by executing the following command in your console:

git clone https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts.git

Navigate to the cloned repo folder which should be the same as the repo name:

cd sp-dev-fx-webparts

Navigate to the tutorials-migrate-datatables folder:

cd tutorials

Navigate to the specific web part folder:

cd 'subfolder'

Now run the following command to install the npm packages:

npm install

This will install the required npm packages and dependencies to build and run the SharePoint Framework project.

Once the npm packages are installed, run the command to preview your web parts in SharePoint Workbench:

gulp serve --nobrowser
