A

Excellent, so let's actually get started on this one, so welcome everybody. This is to share pon Patterson practices. How matter webcast this is the community called bi-weekly community call- and this is the general shape on deaf community calls. So originally when we started the SharePoint BMP initiative, this school was actually called as a office hours as we noticed that the monthly community calls were always super super busy and there was no time for Q&A.

A

So we established a office hours which was 10 meeting bi-weekly and then, whenever the SharePoint framework was actually realized or released, then we started a special special interest group call for SharePoint framework people, so this one then was repositioned to be more on the season and best api's and general dev, as in general, shape and development topics and concentration on the solution, designs or transformation or BMP core component of BnB, powershell and so on.

A

And then we have a separate special interest group which is meeting bi-weekly as well at the same time, which is around the SharePoint framework. So on that one we concentrate more on the clients are developed in topics and other client-side and SharePoint framework and other JavaScript development topics, a game, SSP PMP, community or AKM SSP.

A

Well, communities is a tech community site where you can actually find more information or you can ask questions from the people and that's a always a highly more beneficial than sending an individual emails to a person go to that community site and ask questions from there: a kms, spdf, Doc's, official location for SharePoint documentation, I'm gonna mention that one again on the in general, there are multiple different opportunities to participate with the community, so if you're interested on, for example, doing a demo or etc and showing a solution or a technical pattern in any of these calls in this one or the other one and the SharePoint framework call please let me or Patrick or Bert or whoever to note and we'll catch you cued up and scheduled to for the demo.

A

Three modes are typically 10 to 15 minutes, and then we talk about what was actually shown and the learnings and that a partner. Then you can also contribute and github, so you can submit pull requests. You can submit issues and let us know on two things and obviously that's one way of providing feedback as well, so submitting an issue letting us know if there's something which we need to fix or you found potential balk.

A

It's super super important that we actually know about those in SharePoint engineering, so we're able to fix them for you and obviously, please provide feedback using other means, as well, so concentrating on the discussions and providing field. But.

B

A

Community course, please also do remember to mute yourself until we are in a Q&A section. Potentially, you can actually open up yourself or open up the audio for questions no moving or nothing. So today, there's a few slides around the channel announcements. Nothing super, let's say traumatic, all those few things actually there, which is interesting and then we'll concentrate well, I, wouldn't say maturity of the time, but quite a lot of time, actually on the modernizing your SharePoint site.

A

So Burt is gonna, lead that discussion and he's gonna announce a great tool which is now available for you to automate your sites to be modernized in certain levels. So Burt is going to talk about.

A

What's the limits of that one and how it actually works and we're gonna talk about modernization in general and then after Burt, we have dim Joe explaining well dim Joe released a adding to the SharePoint store pretty recently, and actually we haven't really paid attention that much on the SharePoint events in this course, so I think it's a good time to do a refresh on the on the process and the learnings from game/show around that process. So how does it actually work?

A

What was released and talk about that one, and also at that topic or after the topic topic I, took about the potential future direction on the SharePoint framework, so I'll come back on that one after them shows demo and then we'll, hopefully have some time on the Q&A. Now, let's actually move on a few announcements, so documentation guidance over as I mentioned already, a MSS PDF ducks and is our location for official SharePoint documentation we dynasty and will be shut down actually by end of June.

A

If I remember now correctly, the timing so we're moving the season, documentation, service line, documentation all of the documentation to dr. Markham, and that will be then the location where everything will be maintained. Some of this transition is still under work, so we're still working on that one. But the whole objective is to get everything done by end of June.

A

We had eight hundred and twenty thousand views on on here on April, which is pretty recent number, we'll I'm, hoping to break one million by end of July, sorry and by end of June, but who knows we'll see if we can keep up the interest on our documents now running into an issue? I mentioned this one already around the feedback, but also, if you, if we run Indonesia and the API SharePoint framework, whatever you're trying to do from a customization perspective.

A

Please let us know so use the AKMs SP dev issues list, which is the issue list and the SP dev dogs, which we asked this twice a week. Right now, with an engineering potentially might be increasing that to be three times in a week and we then prioritize those issues which are coming in. Obviously, if you run into a critical issue like SharePoint Online is down, this is not necessarily the location to report critical issues, critical critical issues, and then you absolutely need to report them using their other channels as well.

A

But this is really around letting us know that some API has changed. Sharepoint framework has changed, there's a behavioral change on somewhere, and then we can figure out. Is it a buck on our side and SharePoint the engineering side, or is there something other things to make you successful within your customization and also all of the comments, if you're adding a comments on the documents- and they are actually visible in this issue list as well for a discussion? So please remember that this issue lists are not just one-to-one discussions between you and shape and engineering.

A

It's also meant to be a channel for community discussed between each other. So if you know actually an answer to some of the questions, you can absolutely participate on new season version for SharePoint Online would live on last Friday. So this is the new NuGet package for client SharePoint Online. The client-side object model package made. The main changes here are around GPR D, so GDP our GDP are the European legislation.

A

Changes so you're able to, for example, delete a user profile with a single command in a PowerShell or using a certain API, and that's really the main changes around this release in here, and there is a plot post in the deltoid of stat, conscious blocks, which is explicitly explaining what's included within this release.

A

Now on the kind of new things this went, live actually I think on Tuesday Tasha's, well, Monday Tuesday, depending on which side of the world you're actually living Tasha's pushed out the blog post in the Microsoft tech community. So the admin and API supports for connecting existing SharePoint team sites to new office. 365 groups is rolling out, so this is now available from a powershell side and also from a see some sites.

A

We're able to programmatically create a new group for your existing class except a SharePoint site, and this is basically the same thing as Krupa find within our official terminology. I, don't know who said it, but anyway we're not supposed to be using the Krupa fighter him anymore, which is kind of awkward, because we've been using the Crucified term within these calls. For since when was it November I think in November timeframe, November monthly community call. We actually showed the first time to Chrome if I preview, which is by Bert but anyway.

A

So it's not about Krupa fiying, it's about connecting at the site to the group. That's really the terminology that should be used. I think the same applies for hoop. If I, which I used view community calls back, I, don't think who Biff is really the right term. On the other hand, it actually explained what happens there.

A

Philip is asking. Does this work on the Communist side communication sites as well? Bert can actually probably answer that's best, but I years, no.

C

Sir, yes exactly, you will not see that the UI option, so they will be later on for site owners to sell a service group group or fight coop connect that won't be there for inside, but in theory, come get inside the Shepherd site. So you can connect the group to it.

C

A

Yes, now it's not intended, why do you want to do it.

C

A

The question because if.

C

You like a default new homepage, which you can turn off again, so there are different options, but you really have to look at the option and try it out before you start.

C

A

Maybe one thing to consider is that it is by design that communication sites do not have of a straight 65 group associated to it. Now it's that decision and the right decision from a feature crew who owns the communication site. Obviously that's debatable. There's multiple different opinions on that.

A

So I would rather recommend to open up a discussion in social media or in Mike's of tech community around the fact that why isn't group created for communication sites and then making that native as a native behavior as part of the communication side Edie, if that is where we actually want to go your feedback as a community member super super important on these things. Personally, probably shouldn't say this out loud, but my personal feeling, my personal thing, I'm, not in the future pronate the communication site.

A

But for me it would make more sense to have a consistent creation time for anytime. You create a set point, SharePoint site collection. You could get a crew now it's different people who make those decisions for that particular call. So please, please, please give feedback using the different channels sometime.

A

Cute moving on are things so one slide, a few more slides, some numbers from April 2018 and the numbers are obviously more interesting for us in in SharePoint community and share content sharing. Then you as a participant on this call, but this actually shows that there's quite a lot of material, quite a lot of other people, then only you interested on on the SharePoint development. That's why we actually showed those numbers we had 150 4,000 minutes. Youtube watch watch time with kind of cool 25,000 views in YouTube the average.

A

You can easily count how many, how many minutes is average from that one. The watch time github uses growing all the time with this good sign, because more and more we will be releasing open source, stuff and open source initiative in the future as well so learning to use the kitten is super important for any upon developer as well in the dorfner, my stuff that come, we had eight hundred and twenty three thousand views and that went actually slightly down any a fraction down from march, but basically april is the spring break month.

A

So that is as expected. We can see that across the multiple two other channels as well on the PMPA, reusable components. This is BMP powershell, BMP season and PM peaches. We had eleven thousand five hundred and eighty-one tenants being used using any of those in april, and we hit nine point. Ninety nine billion HTTP requests and it was so close the prague, the ten billion requests in a single month limiter, which which the team was slightly disappointed, will get that and get there absolutely but Lou looking into growth.

A

Metrics will absolutely break the ten billion within the May one node in here, because we get that comment quite a lot. People are then asking that well wait. What about the SPF X we right now we don't have any public numbers with cyclic actually share around the SharePoint framework. Use it's in the SPF X bi-weekly community call, which show the growth curves, but we don't actually show numbers so probably in SharePoint Conference in the keynote will actually talk about the real success of SharePoint framework using actual numbers.

A

So within a few weeks or a few weeks now a quick update on the roadmap. So, basically, everything what we promised to deliver in ignite in this developer roadmap has been pretty much now delivered at least to preview. So a certain capabilities like the azure ad and the craft, access from SPF X are still in preview, so it hasn't g8. Yet all of and the latest thing going life in the preview at least, is to crop refine.

A

The next big announcements are queued up for starting from next week, till next week, Tuesday I think a little Monday, we'll probably announce something as a blog post on Tuesday there's a SharePoint portal session or SharePoint session, which I'm doing in a built. So if you are in build, please check it check that one where we actually going to talk about a lot of the new capabilities for SharePoint framework as well, and then SPC is coming within two to three weeks as well.

A

So a lot of new announcements coming quite soon, but we can't yet talk about them in the community course, but obviously, next week, Thursday well, when we have SharePoint framework community core will talk about all of the new announcements around the SharePoint framework, which we mentioned or announced in built and then within a week or two. We it's gonna, be SPC and we're gonna talk about more on these things. So please follow up on the on the social media and on the under communications on what is new and what's actually happening so.

A

So right now nothing until built SPN, a that is correct. From now built is within two business days, so nothing is going to be announced between Friday and Friday and today and built is actually starting on Monday. So we can have first announcements going live on Monday, so patience, one more day or two days and depending on how to account this two business days and view the weekend as well.

A

Cute and then more SharePoint announcements in general in in Las Vegas in SBC, which is happening on 21st of May and now, let's actually jump into modernizing, of the SharePoint site, so I'm gonna leave delete for Bert and Bert is gonna, go through some slides and then a few live demos and examples on how this actually works, and this is something where we absolutely need to have your feedback.

A

Well, I'll. Let Bert! Actually this adventure since its Burton take it away.

C

Absolutely but this is like and Ethan early preview of of the guidance waiting around normalization so before actually jumping into the meat of my section. I want to take one step back and just talk about what is causation mean, what are the big components of modernization because we touched upon these already in past cuticles, but you can, if I always try to kind of break it down in three big steps. One is maximize to use your model distant libraries, so what are some areas is something if you turn on a tenant level.

C

Sometimes there are certain listen highways that don't work the modern and we have a scanner that you can run to detect those and to understand why, and then you can remember gate and kind of get the most of your list alive is showing everything up in the modern UI. So there's step one and just to be clear: there is the top link acre of them s.

C

Sp PNP motorized will bring you to our guidance and Vox max would come around modernization which contains a lot more details around all these steps leads to the scanners, how to interpret the results, etc.

C

Second, big step in organizing is once we free at least cook connection, I, shouldn't, say group of I anymore, so the ability I first talked about previously so being able to connect your site to the group is important part of the story and again we have cooling, a scanner tell us which sites are ready to group fi and we have guidance to help you to provide, because, although there is an API, the API, this does not do the full group of I work in our view.

C

So that's why we have a big group of five PowerShell scripts that you can use and get further extent, so it becomes like your authorization script now.

C

These two already were touched upon and Pascal's today, I want to really focus on something brand-new, something which off for the first time so really early preview and that's guidance and tech around how to transfer your classic wiki and site pages into modern site pages, so essentially a tool that you can use to take your classic wiki page and get like a modern equivalent from it. So now, let's jump in now. This is for you guys or be fairly basic information, but just to get started.

C

A wiki page is a mixture of text and web parts right, so text can be I've, complex, formatting and a basic formatting and like tables full sizes, bullet, etc, and then you can have one or more webparts in the mix to it. The text and the wiki page has a layout. So you see the text layout button on the ribbon, so you get that's like there's a number of thing about eight defaults, the layered flavors that you can think in my path page is less used. When we scan the environments we see way.

C

Less webpages compared to wiki page is better so I've being used, and the web page is essentially a layout with red zones and the rappers own. You can put one or more robots, it's kind of setting the scene where we start from so the scope of the tooling that I'm gonna show. Is this be able to mobilize those sites? You might ask what about publishing sites?

C

The question is not yet so definitely on the radar, but we let's say we don't have to necessary modern bilities to start taking the publishing problem right now, and so current focuses on regular wiki pages and pages service pages that appear in your collaboration sites.

C

How does it work? I tried to a kind of a vision, the page transformation engine in four big steps.

C

So in the first step, the visioning, the page transformation engine will read our model and we're going to show the model in the demo. But essentially it's the model gives you all the flexibility you want to drive the migration story. So what others page migration do essentially reading sauce page with webparts in creating something new, a modern page with modern client-side web parts. Being first party to her party represent by customer, each customer might have their own requirements might want to plug in their own turf rtwebparts.

C

So that's why the model offers flexibility, so you can tweak it without having to change the actual transformation engine.

C

Plus the model is loaded, we analyze a page, so analyzing a page means just reading the file and him getting all the web part information and the layout from the actual source page. So this gets you a collection of web parts with that properties. Wiki text is kind of put in a fake wiki takes the part, so we just stuffed a wiki HTML into where I kind of a fake web browser. So we have a nice collection of web parts and a layout to go to the next step.

C

The next step is step 3, and here we essentially enrich the information we got from the web part. So, let's give an example and XSLT list you were passed, then you put it on a page. You can pick a view and say, like I, want to show this document library with this particular view great now, when you export that well, look at the properties, we don't tell you like, which view was used. We give you the XML definition of the actual view.

C

So the definition of the view is there, but we don't give you the idea anymore. Now the modern client site lists web part. This requires the view ie to configure it to take a particular view. So we need to have a flexible model that can be used to enrich the data.

C

We have and that's what this step 3 is, is doing and then finally step four is applied and rich data and the model to generate a model glance at page with webparts, first particular property, modern web baths on the page and save the page and very high level that more things would become more clear. But this gives you kind of a quick overview here.

C

Are some screenshots from results lifetime on a second? But this gives you like. If you what you get left, you see their wiki page. You see the wiki text, you see the the list in there the right side, you see the same text. So that's already good. You see same list the model version of that list.

C

The table table looks different thing because the styling is differently. So we the tool, rewrites the wiki HTML into HTML, which is compatible and compliant with. What's the modern text editor can support.

C

um You'll see that that the list web part left side is mapped to a combination of a list to web browser at the right side and if you just text above it, so you can have flexible mappings and again once we show the model, this will become more clear.

C

Here. Is the web part page being transformed famous robber? You see the image going to the right side as an image here where Park you see the list, and you see the right side. You see a script at the web birthday now scripted. The web part is not something that Microsoft Office out of the box. So it's a third party by part and this just to show you that you can use third party web parts in the transformation model use anywhere product.

C

If you ever created a fancy web part that you want, you put it on it on the pages but so place before it, something that's ready there, so some existing web after you can do that.

C

But I think a demo says more than just slides. So let's do that and hopefully the sharing God's with me so I'm gonna share my desktop.

C

Alright, can someone confirm once they see my just loading.

A

C

You should see like a SharePoint, yep, H yeah, all right super, so I tried did my very best to make the most ugly looking wiki page in the world and I think I succeeded, but this for a purpose, because this wiki page shows a lot of content and web parts that we can transform into a modern page. So let's have a first quick peek at the source page. So this is a wiki page I'm, going to put it in edit mode. So you can see the layout.

C

It has a script editor default, saying hello form the posit aspx. Okay, then it has like wiki text with headings with highlights with formatting sizes were.

C

Inventing bullets tables out of table call us so the most commonly used the formatting options in text are here scrolling down. We see here like to list view web plus a basic list and becomes library each having custom view. You see a conflict editor web product web content is embedded. We see the same, pointing to an HP X file, so just referencing a file. We see right script, editor web path, showing this alert message and add in fact, so add-ins which work implies.

C

Images also work on model pages and same applies for the modern web processes. This hello world, my father's in modern as vivix webparts, which offers obviously works in a modern place if it also works on a classic page. So we have put those on the classic page that I didn't and a motor than a web part.

C

What else do we have here? We have a media report showing media located into the SharePoint site, so insiders library, as an mp4 file, just YouTube from that which is an iframe on that in here we have an Excel workbook loaded should load doesn't want to live right. Now, a Visio one picture, an image gallery showing widgets and here's the excel sheet by the way. So it is there what else HTML for my parts, page viewer web part and some really surprised so a collection of commonly used web parts are on this page.

C

I want to transform this page. You want to create a modern, equivalent form from this page, and since this is very early early preview, I'm gonna show you the code based approach, calling it fire code later on. You will be able to also use PowerShell, so there will be powershell commandlets that you can use to trigger the page transformation now before doing the actual transformation. Let's talk about the model because remember that's step. One I talked about this flexible model that you can tell it week and that's actually an XML file.

C

So sorry, no Jason I'm still holster old-school guy I've chosen XML for this one. This is a pretty huge big file and I have a schema, etc.

C

Now each web parts that you want to transform is defined in here so sample X of T. This report is defined and we list the properties which we think might be interesting for you when you drive page transformation of a part transformation. So you have these properties. Let's remember that we talked about that. That list. The view ID the model of a proxy is a list view ready yeah and we don't have it what's the way to get. It is to call a function on this web part.

C

So when the tool runs, it sees the exterior part, and it understands that wait. I need to call this function. This detect used view and taking in the input from the web back from the actual process of taking actual list, ID and actual XML location of the web. Part and out comes a ListView ID, and this function is nothing more than.

C

A basic method that we offer- let's see where this one is here, is listed. Thank you. You see the input string comes out. It does check the mystery XML invariants, it's a pipe with the use of UID or, if not found the default view ID of the particular list, or you might wonder, like okay, fine, there will be some functions delivered by the tool. Great, but I want to make my own functions. You can so scrolling up a little bit, there's an add-on section, so you can define your own assemblies here, scroll through Mike.

C

You see this sample had all the DLL, so you define your own assembly. You tell us which type my custom functions. You want to use from the assembly and give it a name called the custom. Once you have done that you can then start doing something like this so say: custom votes and then your matter thing. So you can just extend the model in the logic by adding an assembly, but I was having to change the actual rule.

C

So I hope this shows some flexibility, let them all there. So you can enrich the web of properties. Next step is mapping them. So how do I translate this exhaustive list? You were passed in to something modern for that. We have a mapping I'm gonna zoom in on this mapping, so we map our lists to this this mapping. We take a real place to the source report, with a combination of the client-side text and the client-side web part of the type list.

C

So a box list web part, as you probably know, from previous calls, and for working with clients at pages client-side web parts require proper jason properties, so education control data, which contains a collect the webcast properties, already swept up properties. They are configured at runtime how, by replacement of token, so it's kind of a tokoha placement model. So if I scroll in here a little bit to the right, you see, for example, the title token over here, and this is server health, if URL token.

C

So what happens is that this web part is configured by replacing the tokens which you got from the web part or from calling functions on the web part. So then, the final question to get answered is okay.

C

This source report can maybe have multiple targets, which is valid use case. This one has multiple targets: we're gonna pick another example: the content of the web part so for content of the web part. When you provide a Content link, so a link to a file to an HTML file to an age fixed file, you can perfectly replace it with an and all the books content. Embed web part goes great.

C

However, if you just provides the raw HTML inside the part, then we need something else like a script at the web part, which is a customer perfect used here and this mapping to distinguish which happened to use. You can call what we call a selector which there's nothing more than a methods which gets input from the web part and returns a string being the name of the mapping to use.

C

So this way you can get a lot of flexibility around how to which having to apply, in which case it can be fluid dynamic e, alright, so that some some information, the model, let's actually run it go to my test case, and this is just a regular test case with the shows the API. So you'll get a base, transformation, information class that you can populate and then you were.

C

It takes the actual pages input in the constructor and then you call the patient's Tomatoes transform, there's lots of flexibility in how it behaves and what you can convey. It's too much detailed for today, I'm just gonna today. Just read this one, how it is, and so I'm gonna right click and run this test case.

C

So desperate start that I did it with any breakpoint. So it should not take that long.

C

So, let's wait for it to finish so what the note is: analyzing, the page getting all the webparts it's reading over the web parts, which were Proctor lookup the mapping and apply the mapping and save the page.

C

So this one was done. It's finished, let's have a look at our. If you have a result over here. Is this my gonna refresh the site page? It's.

A

C

Already showed a few seconds ago, so that should be the one that we need. Yes, so a few seconds ago a page was created called migrated and scrap parts for now. There's a convention used in this preview later on. You will be able to configure how do you named it the new page- and we couldn't talk about that as well- the final slides of this session so but let's have a peek here. What did we get?

C

Look good, not at all so first thing to notice our alert so hey the script prints, so this will transform from the classic page to the new page. Do you want to embed script like this? It's discussable and you might want to just stay away from this approach, but reality is that there's a massive amount of plastic pages having script so scripts might be I be valid to have in there going formats or not.

C

So you have to really evaluate, but do know that there is an option using third-party third-party client-side script at the web earth.

C

Okay, now page loaded, I'm going to put the page in edit mode, so you can see the structure of the page. So this is loading up, give it some time to load because it's a complex, big page.

C

Okay, all right here we are so in the first row. You see the wiki text. Remember that all of us text- and you see that the formatting of the text is there. So if I select the bold piece and I go to the fast about confirmation for the text confirmation you see that bold is selected. If I go today highlight yellow is selected, so we create compare each other. It's compliant with the text editor in modern city, indenting, being retained, two bullets, the numbers, the tables, the colors, all being retained, then going down.

C

We see the list few Webre, so we had like this little title above each raft. So this true, so this replaced by a piece of text. Then the list was mapped to vertex piece and an actual list web part. So that's here as well.

C

We see the content editor web parts, this one with embedded link to the file. Essentially, documents this profile again distributor our added, so this handsome here wants to get control. Sorry, Samir, and so this is the add in part that was on the plastic page showing up in a modern page. Here is our model in client-side web part showing up again same configuration, so we we can retain the confirmation.

C

The media web part is there Excel is there.

C

This is there's one thing that that's currently not there and not supported from a tech perspective, and that's a wiki page having embedded images and videos because, like a text, part in modern UI cannot have embedded images and videos as a design choice so to work around what the to put a place over saying like okay. Here there was like an iframe I'm patting this particular YouTube video.

C

At the very end of the page, you will get individual web parts for each image and video, which you can then reorder them and organize and put on the page where you want to have it.

C

So we have this excel file. The v-0, essentially everything. Is there the image image gallery HTML form apart.

C

Even the summary links is replaced by clean HTML, which works in each viewer, so what all the parts are already met, but the common commonly used for us are already are mapped in this current version. We're working on quantify query call to research reports, madam to the highlighter content, modern equivalents, but I hope this gives you like. If you were that there is some level of feature parity once we pass on that, it's back to slides for a second.

C

C

Oops we have to beginning yeah.

A

It does that as well. While it's loading for me is still but I probably kept to go to the right slide. Yep.

C

Trying it with thumbnails I.

C

Need to wrap up in.

A

Five minutes I think that should give enough time for the adding nobody talk. Obviously, if you have Q&A, it would be nice as well.

C

Yeah I want to just talk about two things, pretty quick, so what you saw is that we created a new page for the existing classic page, so we are thinking about a model where the classic and the did the modern page are linked together, where you can kind of give your users a way to option to acknowledge that the page has been migrated and keep the modern page or provide feedback. White was not good at cetera. This is a mock-up.

C

Nothing has been developed yet, but there are some nice I'm thinking around, because I said, like the transformation is, is it as good as the bodiless and we go into feature parity between each and every classic web browser compared to modern? So there's, 80 plus web browser share phone online.

C

We have about 20 model equivalents, so there is almost be somewhere process that are not that what you do with those same and.

A

Which boots Burt find a way, so there's a bird's demo here, sorry for jumping Burt on this one I can't help myself server man. Now. What you just said is super super super super critical in the discussions related on the modernization. Now you should never ever go to a customer or have a discussion, the Terry. We can modernize everything and then without understanding what can you modernize and what you cannot modernize.

A

So what is the matching capabilities and sure the modern, a you is, are going leapfrogs every now and then forwards and within few weeks and there's busy, there will be again with announcements so gradually they will catch up on the under functionalities. What is needed in classic, but really the key is to understand before going anybody to promise to modernize them is to understand what the customer is having on.

A

What to deployment is having what are the webparts over there and then is there a matching, wet bar, or is there a compromised, wet work, because if the customer or isn't any internal customer and external customer demands that we want to go to the modern UI s, then you can always have to do the discussion that ok, that particular web part isn't there, but there's a close enough web part which is following. So what if we would do, mapping one-to-one between them so absolutely and.

C

That's why the Model S the flexibility, so you can choose your own metrics. You can answer hero and third party yeah. What are my parts?

C

That's a definite possibility and I think you will have to get for it to meet your customer requirements. Yep, because my special for the big Christmas just to wrap up I'm gonna go one slide deck. There is a link here on the deck to the source code, so everything that you have seen is already available from a code perspective. So again, if you want to get very early access, you can just get the PNP a tool, super sorry and look at the code and play around now.

C

The actual aim is to get something published II when you get into power gallery before the end of May, hopefully before the SharePoint conference. Even so, this is a developer. You can pick the Nuka package and use it and there will be a powershell commandlets as well that you can use to it's kind of a transformer page using one powershell commandlets.

C

The reason why they are separate for now is just to give some more deployment agility later on. It definitely is the plan to just embed all of this in the directorship repeat. The cohort line and ship I mean if I were shell there, so that you don't have to have for it separately, but while run the developer face and in the preview face of this tooling and there will be their circuits, so it gets easier to update essentially.

C

A

Right link because that's modernization, scanner.

C

That's the wrong: let me actually grab the link from here. I. Have it open in.

C

Actual it's all squid and feel free to reuse already, meaning if you are I, think this and I discuss about. If you would like to go the product that does page migration just reuse, what what there is is is there to reuse and to further will further improve it. There is an open source components that can be used for patient summation for your custom project for commercial purposes. Whatever you want to do with it think you is good. It's.

A

Mit license, and now you need to remember that it's it is an open-source, though. So, if there's a box over there, we are kind of a there's, no SLA for fixing that bug. But now, if you build your own offering on top of this, you can absolutely get the code and hopefully contribute back as well on the structure. What is here or.

C

You can make it like a nice mapping file with some additional positive efforts that fixes some of ya gaps in our first party, offering. That would be a super great great thing to share with the community or for you to even the head cell. If you want, don't don't share it, but you see that I think there's I see a lot of opportunities and possibilities here and there's a new terrain getting into a new area and there's not much out there. That can do this. Thank you. Steve yeah.

A

So classic migration tooling doesn't do modernization, it just moves content. It doesn't actually do mapping off the functionalities. So this is a great starting point for helping your customer to transform. When somebody raises their hands saying we need to move now so because it's not really my creation, it is transformation, so cool, I think from a timing perspective. We need to move to demo for the to talk about adding an absurd process and I I can update in certain level.

A

Aren't thinking on the SPF X, but I can't promise anything at this point, but game Joe and sorry for pronouncing your name completely wrong.

B

Correctly, ok, cool! Thank you. You hear me where I guess, I request the control yep.

A

Do you have control you need to do, share screen and because I'm still stating presentation.

B

Let me know when you see it my screen, yep.

A

Loading three dots and correct yep: okay, okay,.

B

So tell me if I speak too close to my microphone or too far- and you don't hear me well so I'm starting, my name is Dylan off in Bulgaria. This is Eastern Europe and I'm, a freelancer I'm doing consulting from some time and from the beginning of this year, I decided to try to move from consulting to product development. Again rated in SharePoint and I have some experience with that absorb store.

B

So today, I want to share what I have learned and just give you some guidelines, suggestions and to point to some specifics in the adding development. What I will do is first I'll show you the seller, dashboard and some important links there and then I'll do a demo of to audience. The message that I want to give with this presentation is first adding a development model is not that it is actually very powerful one and it can be used together with SharePoint framework.

B

Something else that I want to point is that pubs or stores is very important for either independent software vendors, like me, and also for a small companies and when I'm saying small companies in that apps or store I, see in my consulting is that small companies like 20 or 30 30 employee.

B

They have office 365, they use SharePoint, they need solutions, but they because of money or something they are not hiring developers, and they don't have that budget for this, and they are more willing to came here in the app source and to search for a good solution, and in this context, I would say that upsource somehow is on the top of github.

B

What I mean is that github is great they're, great samples and functionalities, but the small companies they they don't have the expertise to get the code to build it, to fill it with their environment and to deploy. So from that perspective, I would say that up source is important for these small businesses to get end-to-end solution, and that is something that I decide to try to get some more functionalities package them and to deploy here.

B

So to see whether the business will like this, my ideas and my solutions who can participate in the absorb store, everybody either a single developer or a company's. You can visit this link and see how you can register for the apps or store again you can do it as a single developer or like a company and once you register to the apps or store you have access to the developer, dashboard or so called severed our board, and you can choose the program you want to participate now.

B

I will speak only for this one, which is for office 365 for atoms and what I'm, showing you now is my true developer dashboard and, as you see, I have released several audience today. I'm going to demonstrate you I'm sorry to demonstrate you this one, which is the feedback er.

B

Let me then directly jump on the demo, and first I'll show you from you. If the perspectives, what I have deployed for to the store and it is free and then how I'll show you more than architecture behind this I'm changing my screens and now I am going to my SharePoint page, just something that when I was asking the companies, this small companies that I am talking about what they want as functionality, they always say we want something to work everywhere.

B

We want to be nice-looking and easy-to-use and say converting this in requirements. Actually they want everything to work either in modern on in classic pages, and this is the true everybody wants to be beautiful, so the first adding that I mentioned is a two that gives you to build.

B

Such kind of feedback form so over here on this form is retrieve dynamically from a list item all these feedback text whether to have ratings, whether to not have ratings, the submission text, even the styling, if I scroll a little bit down I, can show you again the same component but with different power. So all this is read dynamically and it is viewed with padding. There is no SharePoint framework extension here, as I mentioned this word in a classic page again.

B

So here at this page, I have deployed the same component with the same feedback settings here and what I want to show you again is: there is another option to use patents with functionalities. We can achieve something like this, so how does all this works? First of all, I have installed an add-in and I'm not going to go deeper in the add-in architecture, but basically, when we install an add-in, it has a dedicated subside, so this subside have a specific URL and it is just a regular or inside.

B

This is a page that use traditional techniques form the on-premises development, but I have bring also some modern experience like this panel and the form that I showed you all settings are reached dynamically from this campaign lives. When somebody reacted on the forum, it is saved here in another list, I'm not going in in sorry in what this list contains. But I just wanted to draw you the model that I'm speaking about and what I showed you is not new.

B

This is the traditional Aden model and I show you a component that was loaded inside my frames, the new thing here and where I brought the office UI fabric, we are visual, studio, cold and wet packet. Is here in the page that we show inside the iframe. I bundle one JS file and it brings the whole functionality and this functionality it use. Rest goes to the rest, calls for the list inside the same way. The third demo that I showed you this one, which actually is more nice-looking, and there is no strawbe snotting.

B

It looks a little bit different model again on the top of SharePoint headings when the adding is installed, I create one passage library in the root side and then I upload one script. So this script again, bundled with the technology that I have told you now this file can be welded inside quasi page for content editor.

B

We can be warded again in modern pages for this third party to of maker also end zone, and once it is welded here, it can't communicate with the add in subside, and here is the trick how the script from the host web communicate with the italian actually adding is nothing more than a society.

B

So if you use dress codes to the subside and you construct your urls as you communicate with sub-site, it will work, and in this way we can achieve, I would say, good functionality where we use adding web as container of our list and data while we are having in the hospital communicates with this audience.

B

Just to show you a little bit advanced example, if scenario with SharePoint framework extension, I change, my page and what you see now is a modern on the site, and it has this component. This component is, is teaching bubble of the office UI component and it is displayed on each single page, no matter whether you have a classic page or modern page. As you see, this control is here and it can be used to show some small word input messages.

B

This approach for loading component on each pages can be used for different components, for example I. Instead of this functionality, which is somehow inbox like Facebook, it can will feedback form and so on again, just I just want to show you what the approach the technical approach behind this demo is.

B

First of all, I use, combination of add-in and SharePoint framework and because I start speaking about the apps or stores currently absorb, does not support SharePoint framework, which I would say, is a big limitation. So if you want to deploy something you you should forget for the SharePoint framework at all for now, but if we go out and look as a development model, we I think that combining audience in SharePoint framework is great approach, because, as I said, we can use the imagine web to store our lists.

B

We can deploy script at the host web and to have script, link and custom application customizer deployed in our site, and in this way we are handled Kwasi pages and modern pages yeah. So how yeah this was. What I prepared I see that I'm out of time, so yeah I just wanted to show you this I have prepared to show you also and the code, but I think we don't won't have time for this. Just one few sentences when I am referring to SharePoint Dean's add-ins I mean using this visual studio project template so yeah.

B

This is what I prepared sorry.

A

Or gate we took two months: this is but from a test from a understanding. If you go to the store, the app source submission site, how was the process and validation and everything else just out of yep.

B

So once you have access to this dashboard from here, you are able to create your component and it is pretty straightforward. So once you develop your ad in your package, you came here, you upload it and then you are waiting five days around for the Microsoft teams to give you a message whether you have passed all tests or not, for example, the adding that I showed you with this teaching bubble.

B

It fails the validation- and here is what I received I received this PDF, and there was explanation about I felt here, so this sentences means that I cannot deploy anything that is outside of the SharePoint adding models and unfortunately, SharePoint framework was not here. Originally I thought that this also handles SharePoint framework, but not and just directly, to answer your question. For me, the whole process of month of submission is easy, so once we get here, we upload our package.

B

We filled our info the information about our ad in wait several days, and then we either confirmation by mail. Everything is okay or we have such kind of rapport. This is wrong. This is wrong and we can fix it. So the submission process, I, would say, is good. Next.

A

Time, I'm just gonna, move back on the slide, so we can close up, but what I am doing that we can I take again few extra minutes or even err, so just a quick notes on the on the SharePoint framework. So from my engineering, so sides are good, my engineering hat on, and so we are absolutely looking into having support for AB source for SharePoint framework components now and how it will exactly look like how the license and everything else will look like. That's still yet to be decided completely.

A

We had a open position in our team so out. My team is responsible of SharePoint framework and and underlying technologies and api's and everything else. So in RPM team we had a open petition, which was actually now filled like last week and we can finally start slightly scaling. We've been having a scalability problem of getting things moving and, and we know that the store and observes is super important. Most likely- and this is don't hold me accountable of this one yet most likely.

A

What will happen is that we'll just provide you a marketplace where you can actually promote your your application and then it's up to you to figure out the licensing model and all of that stuff, so kind of kind of walk away from all of that discussion and complexity.

A

But we want you to be able to easily boot your ship on the framework solutions due to apps or app source and then promote them and then potentially come off with a few recommended options for licensing, but not really take any cuts from the sales, and all of that, so that's not really in our intention, but yet to be fully locked down yet to be fully design it. It's an ongoing discussion, I'm going to design discussion, so don't hold me accountable of this really early speculation.

A

How it will look like definitely won't be I can actually spill the beans on this one won't be explained or announced in SPC. So that's not going to happen within few weeks. We definitely will have more news ignite. Will it be available by ignite I would say highly unlikely, but we'll see, but it's definitely in our radar to put some resources on cool Thank, You Bert. Thank you, Tim Joe. This is actually really great refresh, also on the adding model and the possibilities on that in model and immediately.

A

We know that there's a massive amount of opportunities when we open up the store and app source for SharePoint framework solutions and even more within week or two when we announced some additional core stuff. So this really cool stuff coming and stay tuned and watch what we announced in a social media and join on next Thursday's. A SharePoint framework community call we'll walk through other stuff there as well. We actually have the monthly community color next Tuesday as well, where we work through what we have released within the last month.

A

We kind of talked about new provisioning schema support. We cannot talk about provisioning engine support and we kind of talk about what else. What else there was one more thing, but there's a few demos on that one as well. But what? If you community course, everything will be recorded available in the YouTube channel within 24 hours, but thank you for the demos. Thank you for watching. Thank you for your feedback. Please keep the feedback and input coming in the future as well. Thank you. Bye, bye,.
