Deployment of SharePoint assets as part of SPFx package

Summary

Simplistic solution demonstrating how to provision SharePoint assets using Feature Framework elements when SharePoint Framework solution is being deployed to a SharePoint site.

Demonstrated assets getting deployed to SharePoint site are following

• Fields
• Content Type
• List with custom schema

When you install SPFx so site, web scoped feature is activated and associated element.xml files are being processed. Technically you could also provision SharePoint assets using JavaScript, but it is limited to context of the current user using that component. If the user doesn't have sufficient permissions to create or modify SharePoint items, the JavaScript code will not provision those items.
