# React Comparer with File Picker
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
Allows users to compare Before and After pictures, with a draggable slider. Implements a custom file picker.
|
|
|
|
## Background
|
|
|
|
The Microsoft UI Fabric team (formerly Office UI Fabric) recently released a [web site](https://fluentfabric.azurewebsites.net/#/components) that allows you to compare the current version of the Office UI Fabric components side by side with their upcoming Fluent versions, using a cool image slider.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wanted to re-create a version of the slider that would allow a user to compare two images, side by side.
|
|
|
|
Re-creating the slider was pretty easy (they use [react-draggable](https://github.com/mzabriskie/react-draggable) to handle dragging); I wanted to make it possible for users to select the
|
|
Before and After pictures to use the SharePoint File Picker dialog.
|
|
|
|
After a lot of digging around, I decided to re-create my own.
|
|
|
|
After all, one of the premises of SPFx is that SPFx gives us -- the SharePoint developer community -- a framework to build the same web parts that Microsoft's own developers do. Right?
|
|
|
|
This sample re-creates the SharePoint file picker (or, more accurately, the SharePoint image picker) that is used by out-of-the-box web parts such as the Image and Hero web parts. My goal was to create something that would be re-usable,
|
|
and would be as close as possible from the out-of-the-box picker. In fact, as I was testing the app, I found myself testing the out-of-the-box picker when I thought I was testing my own file picker.
|
|
|
|
After building this sample, I can confirm that it _is_ possible to build web parts that look and feel like the out-of-the-box web parts using SPFx.
|
|
|
|
The file picker includes the following tabs:
|
|
|
|
### Recent

### Web search

## Optional Configuration - Bing Search
|
|
|
|
The sample `PropertyPanelFilePicker` is designed to mimic the standard SharePoint file picker dialog. As such, it includes a **Web search** which uses Bing to return search results.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, the feature requires a Bing API key in order to work. If you do not have a Bing API key, the `PropertyPanelFilePicker` will display a message indicating that the Bing API key is missing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### To Configure a Bing API key (Optional)
|
|
|
|
This sample uses **SharePoint Online Tenant Properties** to store the API key. The idea is that if you get an
|
|
API key for your organization to use, you want to store it in one place -- the **Tenant Properties** -- instead of having to re-enter the API key
|
|
in every web part that needs it.
|
|
|
|
To configure your API key, use the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. If you don't already have a Bing Web Search API key, go to the [Bing Web Search](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/bing-web-search-api/) API page and request a key.
|
|
2. To set the API key, you'll need to use the **Office 365 CLI**. If you haven't installed it yet, you can get it [from here](https://pnp.github.io/office365-cli/?utm_campaign=Use+SharePoint+Online+tenant+properties&utm_medium=page&utm_source=msft_docs).
|
|
3. Using **Office 365 CLI**, enter the following command, making sure to change **value** with your actual Bing API key, and **appCatalogUrl** with your tenant's app catalog (e.g.: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/apps).
|
|
|
|
```PowerShell
|
|
spo storageentity set --appCatalogUrl <appCatalogUrl> --key BingApi --value <value>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. If you want to verify that your API key is stored, use the following command to list all your tenant properties:
|
|
|
|
```PowerShell
|
|
spo storageentity list --appCatalogUrl <appCatalogUrl>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If all goes well, you should see an entry called **BingApi** containing your Bing API key.
|
|
|
|
### To hide the Web search tab
|
|
|
|
If you want to use this web part without the **Web search** tab, you can simply disable it from the code. To do so, use the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. In the solution, open the **ComparerWebPart.ts** file.
|
|
2. Look for a line at the top of the file that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```TypeScript
|
|
const DISABLE_WEB_SEARCH_TAB: boolean = false;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Change the `false` to `true`
|
|
4. Save and rebuild/redeploy the web part.
|
|
|
|
This constant will be applied to both `PropertyPaneFilePicker` controls used in the web part.
|
|
|
|
You can also simply set each `PropertyPaneFilePicker`'s `disableWebSearchTab` property to `true`.
