SharePoint Framework Helper

In the need to develop the solution faster and easier I have created a npm package, which will give you the flexibility to enjoy the much used logic handy and easy when writing code for SharePoint framework client side webparts or SharePoint framework extensions.

This npm package contains the most commonly used functions or I should say the operations that are used almost in every SPFx client side webpart or SPFx extensions. Using this npm package you can create your webparts much more easily and faster. This is very simple and handy.

This npm package code is also available on GitHub so if you are interested you can have a look at the implementation as well, or even you can request for the addition of new methods that you feel might help others as well.

Why to use ?

  • This library contains handy functions that will save lot of man hours in implementing
  • Well designed results so it will help in writing the code efficiently
  • Well broken into the type of operation, so include only the class that is most useful to you

How to use ?

To install the package execute the below command

> npm i spfxhelper

And then import the following in the code file

import { "CLASS_NAME" } from 'spfxhelper';
