Minimal Path to Awesome

• Clone this repository
• in the command line run:
  • npm install
  • gulp serve

Features

This sample illustrates the following concepts on top of the SharePoint Framework:

• Get data terms using Microsoft Graph API (beta).
• React Hooks
• Using async / await for the async calls
• Caching the data in session storage
• Usage of PnP SPFx controls (Maps and Placeholder)
• Office UI fabric components

Enhancements

• Currently, this web part supports 2-level cascading. So there is scope to enhance this such that it supports more levels of cascading dynamically.
• Currently, this web part reads latitude and longitude from description of the city terms. If there is a way of getting these from the custom properties of the city terms, then that needs to be implemented.
