Features

The search web part is a sample client-side web part built on the SharePoint Framework. The web part makes use of React and the Flux pattern.

The web part has built-in templating support for internal (created within the project) and external (loaded from a URL) templates.

When adding your query you are able to make use of the following tokens: {Today}, {Today+Number}, {Today-Number}, {CurrentDisplayLanguage}, {User}, {User.Name}, {User.Email}, {Site}, {SiteCollection}.

Internal templates

Internal templates can be found in the templates folder. You can start building your own templates by using one of the provided samples.

External templates

External templates can be loaded from an URL.

If you want to test out this functionality, you can find a couple of sample templates in the external templates folder. Upload one of these templates to your site, copy the file location and past it in the textbox.

There is a sample project which you can use to create your own external templates. You can find it here: Search WP SPFx Template Generator.

This Web Part illustrates the following concepts on top of the SharePoint Framework:

• using React and the Flux pattern with TypeScript for building SharePoint Framework Client-Side Web Parts
• loading CSS stylesheets from CDN
• using non-reactive Web Part Property Pane
• loading external templates to render
• loading scripts and stylesheets which are required in the external template (example: loading jQuery or a custom stylesheet).
