Compatibility

⚠️ Important
Every SPFx version is only compatible with specific version(s) of Node.js. In order to be able to build this sample, please ensure that the version of Node on your workstation matches one of the versions listed in this section. This sample will not work on a different version of Node.
Refer to https://aka.ms/spfx-matrix for more information on SPFx compatibility.

SPFx 1.13.1 Node.js v14 | v12 Compatible with SharePoint Online Does not work with SharePoint 2019 Does not work with SharePoint 2016 (Feature Pack 2) Local Workbench Unsupported Hosted Workbench Compatible Compatible with Remote Containers

Minimal Path to Awesome

  • Clone this repository
  • Set the version node in the package.json file, or by using npm version major, npm version minor or npm version patch
  • in the command line run:
    • npm install
    • gulp serve

This sample can also be opened with VS Code Remote Development. Visit https://aka.ms/spfx-devcontainer for more information.

Features

The sample uses a custom gulp task to synchronize the version node from the NodeJS package.json to the SharePoint solution's package-solution.json.

The solution demonstrates how to import the package-solution.json into a web part using a static import and a require statement.

Using npm version to set the version

To change the package.json version (which will also change your SharePoint solution version), use npm version, using one of the following parameters:

npm version major
npm version minor
npm version patch

The following table shows when you should call which npm version command, depending on the types of changes you're making to your solution:

Type of change Stage Versioning rule Example version NPM command
First release New solution Start with 1.0.0 1.0.0 npm version major
Backward compatible bug fixes Patch release Increment the third digit 1.0.1 npm version patch
Backward compatible new features Minor release Increment the middle digit and reset last digit to zero 1.1.0 npm version minor
Changes that break backward compatibility Major release Increment the first digit and reset middle and last digits to zero 2.0.0 npm version major

To use the custom gulp task in your solutions

NOTE: if you use the PnP SPFx Yeoman generator, there is already a built-in gulp command that will synchronize your version number when you use npm version. You only need to follow the steps below if you use the regular SPFx Yeoman generator.

If you'd like to use the custom gulp task in your solutions, copy the code from this solution's gulpfile.js between:

// BEGIN: Add custom version sync task

and

// END: Add custom version sync task

To your own gulpfile.js.

To use the version using the web part's manifest

The BaseClientSideWebPart class context property provides a manifest which contains a version property. To use it in your web part, simply use:

this.context.manifest.version

This approach provides a version number that follows the 1.0.0 format, instead of the usual 1.0.0.0 format. However, since the gulp tasks describe above append an additional .0 to the end of the package.json version number, you can choose to append .0 yourself when displaying the manifest version. For example:

this.context.manifest.version + '.0'

To use the version using a static import

  1. Copy the content of this solution's src\typings.d.ts to your own src folder in your own project.
  2. In the code where you want to insert the solution version, add the following import statement:
import * as packageSolution from '../../../config/package-solution.json';

Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the path to your package-solution.json depending on where you're adding the code within your solution.

To use the version using a require

In the code where you want to insert the solution version, add the following require statement:

const packageSolution: any = require("../../../config/package-solution.json");

Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the path to your package-solution.json depending on where you're adding the code within your solution.
