Script editor web part for modern pages built in React

This version is built on SPFx v1.4.1. The version works for both SharePoint Online and for SharePoint on-premises.

The SPO only version can be found at react-script-editor and it is similar in functionality but has an improved editor experience.

Summary

Coming from old classic SharePoint pages you might have existing script solutions you want to re-use on a modern page without having to repackage it as a new SharePoint Framework web part. This web part is similar to the classic Script Editor Web Part, and allows you do drop arbitrary script or html on a modern page.

Notice. All client-side web parts are deployed or enabled to be available in site level by tenant administrator using tenant app catalog. If there are concerns on enabling script options in a tenant, this web part or a approach should not be approved by tenant administrators.

As an example add the following scripts to the web part in order to show stock ticker info on your page. First tv.js is loaded, and then the script block is executed to show the ticker information.

<!-- TradingView Widget BEGIN -->
<div class="tradingview-widget-container">
  <div id="tradingview_e7aa0"></div>
  <div class="tradingview-widget-copyright"><a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-AAPL/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span class="blue-text">AAPL Chart</span></a> by TradingView</div>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://s3.tradingview.com/tv.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  new TradingView.widget(
  {
  "width": 980,
  "height": 610,
  "symbol": "NASDAQ:AAPL",
  "interval": "D",
  "timezone": "Etc/UTC",
  "theme": "light",
  "style": "1",
  "locale": "en",
  "toolbar_bg": "#f1f3f6",
  "enable_publishing": false,
  "allow_symbol_change": true,
  "container_id": "tradingview_e7aa0"
}
  );
  </script>
</div>
<!-- TradingView Widget END -->

The web part works by loading each script in a <script src> tag sequentially in the order they are specified, then any other <script> block is executed.

Script Editor web part

If all you want is to add markup on the page, you can do that as well. Adding the following html would show a headline and a list.

<h2>My header</h2>
<ul>
    <li>One
    <li>Two
    <li>Three
</ul>

You may add CSS via style tags or link tags.

Minimal Path to Awesome

Local testing

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

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

Deploy

  • gulp clean
  • gulp bundle --ship
  • gulp package-solution --ship
  • Upload .sppkg file from sharepoint\solution to your tenant App Catalog or to your on-premises app catalog.
  • Add the web part to a site collection, and test it on a page

Deploy to non-script sites / modern team sites

By default this web part is not allowed on no-script sites, as it allows execution of arbitrary script. This is by design as from a security and governance perspective you might not want arbitrary script added to your pages. This is typically something you want control over.

If you however want to allow the web part for non-script sites like Office 365 Group modern team sites you have to edit ScriptEditorWebPart.manifest.json with the following change:

"requiresCustomScript": false

Deploy tenant wide

By default you have to install this web part per site collection where you want it available. If you want it enabled by default on all sites you have to edit package-solution.json with the following change:

"skipFeatureDeployment": true

In order to make it available to absolutely all sites you need apply the Deploy to non-script sites / modern team site change as well.

Features

This web part illustrates the following concepts on top of the SharePoint Framework:

  • Re-use existing JavaScript solutions on a modern page
  • Office UI Fabric
  • React
