Updates in SharePoint Framework 1.17.2

This release focuses on addressing various issues.

What is SharePoint Framework?

SharePoint Framework is a widely used extensibility option for Microsoft 365, providing custom components for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Viva, and SharePoint with tens of millions of end-users each month. It offers the easiest way to build developer extensibility for Microsoft 365 and is taken advantage of by thousands of partners and customers for building custom experiences for end-users.

Developers can build SharePoint Framework-powered solutions using Microsoft Teams Toolkit, SharePoint Framework Yeoman Generator, or the Microsoft Viva Toolkit. The key advantage is the flexibility of automatic hosting and seamless Single Sign-On for all platforms where components are hosted. SharePoint Framework uses standard web stack tooling with node, npm, TypeScript, and any JavaScript framework of your preference. It features easy access to the Microsoft Graph APIs for accessing business data and Microsoft Graph Toolkit reusable controls with data connectivity.

Additional Resources and Support

Developers can report any issues and provide feedback through the issue list. Engineering people are available to provide support and answer questions for unblocking the development process. They can access numerous resources such as overview documentation and step-by-step guides on building for Microsoft Teams and extending Outlook and Office with the SharePoint Framework. Other support options include joining community calls and activities covering Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Teams, Power Platform, Microsoft Viva, OneDrive, SharePoint, and more.
