Create A Webpart Which will retrieve the List and Document using SPFx

In this Blog, we are going to discuss about the creation of a new webpart using SPFx(No JavaScript framework).This webpart will represent the data of the corresponding site such as website Name ,website URL ,Total List Count & retrieves the name of all custom list and documents.

Let us get started …

Step-A:(Creation of Webpart):

Open Command Prompt. Go to the drive in which you want to create the Project. Here I have created the project in “c-drive”.

Run the below commands

  • cd C:\
  • md Webpart

Refer image-1 for more details.

Image:1

Refer image-2 and run the command “yo @microsoft/sharepoint”. Then Enter the asked details same as mentioned in Image-2 to create the webpart. The webpart creation may take some time so wait to complete the installation.

After completion, you can see a Congratulation message (Check Image-3).

Image:3

Then run the command code .” to open the Visual studio code.

Expand src-> webparts (Refer image-4) to open the files.

Step-B:(Create a New File):

Create a new file inside C: \WebPart\src\webparts\dynamicWp. Name it as “GetList.ts” as shown in image:5.

Step-C:(Change the code):

Here I have mentioned the code for corresponding files. So please refer the instructions accordingly and add/change the code.

  • In “DynamicWPWebPart.ts” replace the below code.

  • In “GetList.ts” add the below code.

      resolve(GetDemoList._items);

    });

  }

}

  • In “mystrings.d.ts” replace the below code.
