SPFx Development in WSL 2.0 - Linux files integration in Explorer

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 22:50:16 +0000

Last week on Thursday my Windows PC got the latest Windows Preview Build. I was looking for a new version of the preview as the last one broke my webcams for Microsoft Teams. In times like these, not having a working video feed in Teams is not really a situation you want to end up with. There was a workaround to use OBS and a virtual camera to get it working but this was far from stable so I searched for a different way.

How to sideload an existing SPFx package in Microsoft Teams

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 00:45:45 +0000

Introduction

In preparation for a talk next week I spent the whole weekend on creating demos and slides. A couple of days ago the SharePoint team released version 1.7 of the SharePoint Framework. This release has a ton of features, but one specific for Microsoft Teams adding the capability to surface SPFx web parts inside a Microsoft Teams tab. As my talk will be about Microsoft Teams why not change the demo plans 72 hours before the talk and try something new?

SharePoint Saturday Barcelona 2018 + "El Clasico" Demo

Sun, 28 Oct 2018 16:52:59 +0000

Yesterday I had the pleasure to present at SharePoint Saturday Barcelona. The whole of 2018 we were kind of touring with our “lunch bell” session. It all began at SPS Barcelona 2017 where a part of the session on PnP was a demo of the lunch bell. The feedback was really great and the idea of creating a session around this topic alone was borne. But all good ends at some point in time in our case this was one of the last times we actually present this topic. We have a full backlog of ideas for 2019 and after ESPC we won’t present this anymore. There is also a real-world reason behind the decision. We as Solvion move to a new office by the 1st of January, so there isn’t a need for this kind of lunch bell anymore. But let’s see what the new office provides and what ideas will be there after moving. Here the slides from yesterday: Back to SharePoint Saturday Barcelona. There is also another big event currently in Barcelona, El Clasico. The football match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Last week in Brussels Edin asked me to use this match for one of my demos. It took me a few hours yesterday, but then I was able to showcase a SharePoint Framework ListView Command Set extension that takes the selected image in a document library and askes Azure Computer Vision for a description of the image. We tried the Command Set with a few images from footballers and got back a friendly message when the Command Set detected a local player from Barcelona. On the other hand, if it detects a certain player from Real Madrid, we just update the image with a logo from Barcelona just to make sure the audience in Barcelona isn’t starting throwing tomatoes at me presenting ;) I will put the complete project code on Github next week, but here the important part with the actual “logic” behind:``` @override public onExecute(event: IListViewCommandSetExecuteEventParameters): void { switch (event.itemId) { case ‘COMMAND_1’: { console.log(“COMMAND_1 clicked”); const itemId: number = event.selectedRows[0].getValueByName(‘ID’); var serverRelativeUrl = “”;
