A

So welcome everybody. This is sharepoint balance and practices all or also known, as office, 365 developer, better practices to a monthly community call. This is dr. / 2016 version and that the whole point of this community course is to go through what has happened within the last month and then also have a light demos on the individual capabilities which have been released today we have two different demos, one from Paulo and one from aboard Hammond around the capabilities which have been included within the October release within the within the guitar.

A

But let's get them going on the slides and we'll have a chat on the way and if you have any questions around what I were presenting or the topics or comments or feedback just feel free to use the eye on window as we move along with in the presentation, so we'll use the typical agenda again today, we'll start with the monthly highlights essentially walking through what has happened within the last month. What were the contributions and other topics around around B&B initiative and then we'll move into the demo section after that I?

A

We can pretty much assume that the demo section the demo section will start at half past and then we will maybe have some time for Q&A. Let's see how the timing actually goes. Let's try to get some five minutes on the end for Q&A.

A

If there's any random questions, but like mentioned, there's multiple PMP core team members in a call watching the messages and if you have any questions around the topics, if you need to have a link, if you need to have anything, just let us know and we'll we'll share with those toes with you as we move along, but let's get on during on the actual topic. So, first of all, just a quick, intro I know that for many of you this might be repeating the classic topic.

A

But Shepherd B&B is really around shipment bmps owned by the SharePoint engineering nowadays, and this is a tool for us to work together with community. We want to actually understand how the community is doing customizations within a SharePoint, on-premises I've been and within SharePoint Online, and then also provide guidance to the B&B initiative. So the bmv actually provides code samples, goddess documentation. We do have this monthly community course. We have other community course as well.

A

The special interest group cause we're going to mention them slightly later on the presentation we do have case studies with blue meteor and volvo cars and the themes are on SharePoint framework shipment, that ins, Microsoft craft and office 365 development in general. Some of those topics may be a special office 365 development. It's only for sharepoint, online or office 365, which is understandable. Sharepoint add-ins topics are, however, completely valid for on-premises as well, and SharePoint framework is going to be released for on-premises as well during next year.

A

Aka ms sharepoint BMP is the address where you can actually go and find the latest information to be fair. I did not update that page after yesterday's release. Yet so it is missing all just the latest links which will be out there later today, so let's actually get on going on the monthly highlights so before we go there just to make sure that people are aware of this when you're looking into anything around sharepoint customizations you're wondering how to do user profile, modifications you're wondering how to do responsive, UI customizations.

A

These is way to find this guidance. It's not to go to the key talk. Please go! The death toll of stuff comes less resource, elect B&B resources, menu. We have code samples and guidance search tool, which is a really easy way to find what's relevant for you, because there's a lot of lot of samples and going to the github will could be pretty, let's say overwhelming the point what's relevant for you.

A

So if you go to this search tool, use the search text box, for example, for branding or user profile or site provisioning or whatever you'll find those samples which are available to the B&B initiative good moving along. So, within the last month, we released quite a few videos again as a PMP webcast, so the PMP webcasts is something what we started actually well actually pretty close to a year ago, and we've been posting weekly, webcasts, every single Monday, the first in general mine and then in YouTube.

A

So nowadays, the these videos are published in YouTube in our BMB youtube channel, which is in a KMS spp and b dash videos and within that youtube channel, would release all of our community call recordings. All of the demo videos of the shipment, favorite, tutorials and whatever is coming use the same channel for that. So it's the easy location to find out if you're looking into videos which will release true the B&B initiative. So within this month we released will within last month or within the previous month we released five new webcasts.

A

So there's a webcast for reference in external javascript libraries for client-side web parts related on sharepoint framework, there's an introduction, a webcast, together with paolo on PMP part in pack, 2.0 a really nice webcast, which is showing how how you can use the B&B engine or the BMP important, but already today, within your customizations there's the using office crap from sharepoint framework client-side web points to get a bit well that monster monster cards and that's a round shape on framework customizations, which is still in depth preview.

A

Just to make sure that you are aware of it. We did a webcast on the crude operations as in create read, update, delete operations which happens framework client-side web bots, which is actually an awesome example for SB FX, because it's showing how to do this. Crud operations using angular react without a framework and then also using SPN ship and core java script, core library and then the last one which went live on this monday is the introduction to the PMP templates gallery and so which works through how to use to BMP templates gallery.

A

You will see similar kind of a demo actually today within this community call, and but we wanted to do that demo within the community call as well. So you can actually ask questions as we move along and as Paul as demonstrating any the capabilities around 2pm pay templates gallery good month-over-month statistics. I know that for many of you this might not be super super interesting, but obviously for us within the bmv initiative, where we're tracking the usage quite closely.

A

So we understand what the information is actually relevant for you and how things are crowing and the unique visitors are growing quite fast. Actually in a key top, the blue one is the office death, be a sorry to be a be initiative repose and the orange one is to SharePoint repository us, which is relatively new thing in a key top. So if you go Keita homes, last SharePoint you'll find, for example, samples for the ship on framework and for the web hooks and all of them so and that's kind of a starting up.

A

Still, the BMP repositories himself have existed for quite a few years already, so people are finding them more and more and are using the samples more and more. The guitar folks and pull requests are growing, steady and then stay in unique visitors. It seems to be that I missed updating on on that chart, but it's growing in a steady in the steady direction as well and the BMP to see some core component, which contains the the enhanced methods and properties and functionalities on top of client-side object model.

A

That usage is actually growing quite fast as well. So in September we had 2230 individual tenants which were using the BMP season core component in production in sharepoint online. Well, we do, we cannot actually track to use it within their own premises. So this is based on only on the on the SharePoint Online side and- and why is that different, that number interesting for you?

A

Well, if you're, considering using the PMP, let's say the provisioning engine or the core component or the PMP PowerShell, the fact that there's 22 more than 22 thousand other tenants using them, will give you confidence most likely that its production proven, and it also gives us in Microsoft, let's say a leverage which means that, if there's issues which we find in the product, if there's a changes within the services, we actually catch them quite often using our automated unit testing within the PMP.

A

So there's an automated way for us to actually do testing with the pre-release stuff in the sharepoint online and using the core components is really safe for you in the production uses as well within this giant. You can also see that october is already in 1.4 or 1440 or slightly above tenants, also already in 10 days or 10th a/s.

A

Actually, coming from yesterday, we've been having more than 1,400 tenants using the core component and the HTTP requests in September was 500 and 558 million requests going through the PMP system, core component to work shipment online, and that's a super impressive number.

A

If we have a look on the growth in October, which seems to be that we are hitting 800 million requests to be MPs and core component, so people are using the core component more and more, within their customizations, to automate stuff to play around with or to use the engine itself or use. The other capabilities within the core component and the new get downloads are growing, quite steady as well. So that's kind of understandable from that perspective and if you're wondering how do we do this tracking?

A

We do this in a way because the BMPs owned by shipment engineering we do have access on the sharepoint online looks on the server side. So what we do is that we add a BMP stamp to a client tech property in the client context which, with them collect from a sharepoint online site, we're not collecting any other information, and you can have a look on how this actually works within that link.

A

So if you download the presentation which we are seeing today, which is available from the docs como stas office staff PMP- and you can actually have a look on the on the way we do the tracking in practice and only thing what we're tracking is essentially the version and the method which is getting a called in the BMP core component.

A

So for us this is really important, so we're able to show the numbers for all leadership as well couch moving along with in the presentation so quickly, just to summarize and there's always the New People's turning this course. So, if I, if you have any questions around the SharePoint customizations in general, the Yammer Network has been shut down so of a 365 and developer network does no longer exists and people are moving into the Microsoft technical network. So hopefully you move there as well within the Microsoft technical network.

A

We have a sharepoint developer group where the core team members me included and a few other engineers looking into your questions and hopefully answering at least almost all of them and there's an active community engagement there as well.

A

So people are helping each other within that group around random questions around the bmv or Chevron customizations in general, and the address for that one is HDD, bak MSSP BNP community, and then we do have a point week by week we ship and framework and JavaScript special interest group calls, and these are really kind of a course where we have open discussion, because this monthly goals are more for us doing.

A

Use summary and this special interest group calls are more to have an open discussion and you can more easily jump in on the on the call and ask questions. So the special interest group for SharePoint framework and javascript is bi-weekly called nowadays and akms, spb and bjs sick. All is the invite for that one and the next goal is actual in this week so thursday. This week we also reprinted the BNP office hours as bi-weekly B&B, core and powershell special interest group.

A

So if you have any issues, for example, using the engine using the the core component using the remote time at your framework from the core component or whatever you work, whatever questions around the PMP usage, you can join that code and that's an AK, MSP and big or seek column is the URL to download the recurrent in one for that one, and that particular call next call is actually next week on wednesday at seven a.m.

A

PST or PDT, and then we have this monthly community course with some more around flood mentioned for us telling you what has happened within a month and then we'll do live demos on the on the new capabilities which have been included. So what has happened with in October a lot of these changes, which are now included in October release or more around shape on framework Invisibles?

A

Actually, as designed so the core team members and the DMP core team members and the community were contributing quite heavily on the ship one framework side as well, and the first one is not directly on SharePoint framework, but that's from Elio around the web hooks and how to do build a sharepoint web hook as a service using the node chairs and the noche s is used with chaplain framework in the future as well. So it's a nice demo on how to build that.

A

One up we do have a jquery CDN and which is showing a SharePoint framework usage and how to actually use jQuery within from CDN using a client-side web for jQuery for the pile from oly beer and it's a nice example how to use to take we're in photocall tales, which open framework there's a TS power, bi embedded with the surround power. Bi reports in the client-side web parts.

A

There's a reactor active directory, implicit flow sample which is actually showing how you can build and client-side web part using react and which is connecting the door active directory. So how is how is it signing in how how you have to login to the asha active directory and all of that stuff? There will be an article around this one as well, which will pinpoint the challenges and the different options around that approach.

A

React organizational chart is something what we're going to see a live today in the demo section from work common, which is illustrating a simple organization church as a client-side web port and showing what organization of particular user react. Search from elio is a great one as well create building a search web part using the client-side web part. Obviously, within the future sharepoint a modern experiences, there will be a native search web part as well, but right now we're still in deaf previewed with SharePoint framework and a lot of the let's say.

A

The native out-of-the-box capabilities have not been yet exposed, but it's a great great example how to build client-side web parts using reacts, react and flux.

A

The really kind of a I couldn't say advanced, but pretty advanced way of doing maybe react implementation and then, as a SharePoint crude example, which is showing how to do crude operations using react and lurcher JavaScript without the new library and using the SharePoint BMB JavaScript library, and then we actually have a new IT pro script, which was released last week in the bmv tools section winces around how to configure hybrid clouds search service application. So how do you actually connect your own premises?

A

Sharepoint fun to a cloud search service application where you can then crawl our index, your content from on-premises towards the cloud so don't actually need to have a significant amount of additional storage within your on-premises. You can take advantage of this approach and that's creepy showing how to make that happen from Neil hood skills. There was a nice update also from business and the solution.

A

Business Oh, 365, starter intranet, which is actually a great starter kit for building publishing sites on double for his treatise 25 from Frank coroner and Frank Lisa Nicole I saw that he is no college. So if you have any questions on that one on the later part of today, maybe we can actually answer some of those as well.

A

I've really create solution which is included originally in the sep tember release, but friend has been then further, involving that one I during october and then ruddy atanasov has been working still on the asp.net core authentication layer, and this is really around. How do you build your protocol settings using the asp.net core right?

A

I had few sessions around that one in each night as well and and those people who are using asp.net core, but super excited on the on the fact that there's no availability for using the token helper and the classic shipment authentication with asp.net core as well good, some kind of areas on the on the core, PMP provisioning engine power, shell and the core JavaScript side, so that within the core component, and not a massive massive changes within this month, so that it's more around polishing and there was a few additional things included in a core component.

A

The same thing applies to the PMP provisioning ancient. There was some additional capabilities like apply and extracting crews from a soxhlet and but nothing that, let's say a massive within this released. It was more around getting the quality on the right level and doing changes the basic changes, what we're doing every single month in PowerShell site.

A

The changes are more around the template, handling and I know that Paul is going to show some of those complex later today as but those are more around if you're, using the BMP core component, a BMP provisioning engine using the PMP powershell for applying templates, those PowerShell command, let's will help or modifying that template if needed and like mentioned, follows going to show them slightly later today in the chava script, core component signs at the release, 1.5 or 05 is actually I think it should be out today, or maybe it was out yesterday.

A

I didn't check the latest from Patrick and this morning, but that has a lot of additional things as well and the core component, the JavaScript core, has been moved to use the typescript to bone 0 0 Thank You Patrick. So it's going to be later out later today and, if you're interested on on, let's say the test, automation and all of that stuff, we do have a site, a really great site for you to use as well.

A

So you could go to the https test, automation or SharePoint BNP calm, and you can actually see day-to-day results on our unit tests. With still can so, you will know if, for example, the PMP our component will start seeing issues within the first two layers tenants, and that means that you, you can actually figure out that. Well, maybe I'll start seeing issues or maybe I'll should actually being the core team and we'll follow up on those with test results by ourselves. Every single day we actually use the same engine for pre.

A

First release tenants testing as well, but those results are not available for external people, good moving one on things, so the PMP templates gallery is a one big thing which we announced in the ignite. Sao paulo is going to show this one in practice slightly later today, but in a few minutes, but this is really around providing an open source. Remote provisioning templates gallery for PMP template, so you might even kind of think true if you've been in a sharepoint for for a long time.

A

You might remember the package which released while back, which was called fab-bo-tabulous 40, which was ready to use templates for anybody in the community and that was released by microsoft, say that's their reusable well as a solution package. The idea of this one is something similar. So what we want to do is that the community has indicated that they want to share their templates between each other. So this is really a CMS or a landing page for accessing those templates and finding those templates which might be relevant for you right now in the templates gallery.

A

We only have three templates which all of it to get things started, but we are looking into extending extending these templates with the community contributions. So hopefully we will have additional templates in the gallery relatively soon and we are also looking into creating some of the templates by ourself. So you will see more and more templates in the gallery in the future, and these templates are available for on-premises and sharepoint online, as well.

A

So as long as you're using the BMP engine, either using the PMP PowerShell or managed code you're able to apply these customizations to your SharePoint deployment, good being a few PMP guidance articles just to make sure that you're aware of this as well. So a kmss BB&B msdn is the pnp location of the MPN SD and notes, location and there's two kind of a relatively important guidance articles.

A

There were some few smaller updates here and there, but then there's a larger, larger article around introduction on the double custom user profile API, which you can use to fastly integrate or how would I bet synchronized user profile, attributes from on-premises lob systems to a shipment online, and that article explains the reasons we'll have to save the eyes of the limitations with azure ad and all of that. But it also shows how to get started with this new API, which is available world world across the tenants.

A

The other thing what we had as a guidance is developing using tellin permissions with that only in sharepoint online and that's a really kind of an important order, article if you are using the tenant permissions and app only and you want to develop an individual studio in an f5 way. So how you can actually do that because there has been some changes around this tenant permissions with that only handling and how they has to be registered in a tenant level.

A

That article and previously released article which is kind of the father of this article, are explaining those changes and also how you can do this. The link still in the future in visual studio- and these are the people who contributed from a community site this month. So we have orient from socity, be liars. Everyone who ninh elio franconi at chumleys, lewis-, Mauricio, Nunez a local or see Peter ruddy Roland.

A

There are raw from digital Illustrated as well, and touchin skiwear command who's going to do the demo, and then waldek has been working closely with us as well, and then Victor billion from ebony. And, thank you extremely. We highly appreciate your contributions, because the PMP is community-driven initiative and were highly dependent on the on the contributions and work, but the community is doing so.

A

Essentially your contributions will help to others. So thank you for all that. You do and hope, we'll see more and more people contributing in the future as well from a microsoft site. We have a tubular crew or Oh before going there. So this is the list of companies from the previous page, which we cut a permission to use the logo. So there's a certain things based on a leak, all people.

A

They said that we can't actually just show the logos and unless we do have the people's permission, but these are the companies who have what the people who contributed have been working on this companies. So the companies have been fine for these people to actually contribute for the benefit benefit of the others in the community.

A

If you are or if you have contributed in the past- and you would like to have within the within lock to October release- and you would like to have your company logo and the link mentioned in our communications, I- will update the monthly communications plot post still if needed. But you need to send me the logo and your permissions to use the logo to do so, and that applies also in the future. So, if you're contributing in the future we're more than willing to promote your company and provide links through our communications.

A

But we need to get a permissions to do so good from a Microsoft side. We have a typical set of people, there's few additional guys on the on the left side, which are more around the engineering people, because we will have more and more Shep and engineers contributing the DMV initiative as well, so people from redmond and also from China and then Mike Morrison and Oliver Oliver carpenter, especially has been contributing significantly on the SharePoint framework site. Oliveira contributed one sample to this bmv rebuild and he has a lot of lot of stupid.

A

Powerful samples in the shipment framework fight within his own preposterous in Akita, but we probably want to have a look on Oliver's Oliver's stuff later on, if you're interested on shipment framework elements for the future before we go to the demos, so obviously we'll still keep on or continue building the SharePoint framework sample catalog.

A

So we want to actually start building that catalog in the same way as we've done with the old, adding model and oh, not old, at the adding model and sharepoint PMP site, the classic PMP a sign, but we want to start building the similar catalog for sharepoint framework as well.

A

So whenever we actually go live fully with SharePoint framework or the client-side web bots, you will have a set of proven web parts which are reviewed by the SharePoint engineers, and you can actually use them as a starting point for your customization from a provisioning engine core component site. Looking into just have a quality improvements. We did not planning to do any. Let's say massive changes for this month.

A

We are obviously following up on the on things and following up on the recorded issues, but going up as an example planning to do a new scam or releases or anything like that. Core component keeps on involving powershell general improvements as well, be important impact on tues, evolving, based on community input and contributions, and we're more than there was great discussions around the BMP partner back as an example in each night last week.

A

What week before, in Atlanta from a samples and solution site at the shipment, framer is a priority for us right now, so we're prioritizing that from a engineering perspective. So all of the new stuff which we will release will be most likely upon the framework site, but we are more than willing to take contributions in a classic adding model as well, so because that's really what the people are using on the day-to-day work already right now, sharepoint framework is in their preview, but that's not ready for production, use it yet good.

A

So, let's actually moving to the demos so I'll. Let follow actually take over and sao. Paulo is kind of. First to your demo around the VMB food there's, a small typo in my my copy pasting, but it's around the BMP remote template gallery and french name somehow magically got included in that title, sardhana and but let's switch to Paolo and I. Think Paolo. You can just share your screen and take it over.

B

Okay, thank you very much screen. Let me know when you, when you see.

C

B

Okay, I will stop, of course, your presentation absolutely and let's talk about the sharepoint PMP template gallery. Hopefully you will see it right now. Can you confirm it or not? Yet.

A

It's loading on my side at least loading okay,.

B

A

Read me when I get it most likely, other people got it as well. Okay,.

B

So, let's wait just for a while just to be sure that everybody can see it.

B

Still loading it's.

A

Loading still for me and I know if anybody else actually saying that already ok.

B

Eric, invalidate it okay, okay, so maybe we can start just chatting and then I will show something more cool.

A

Landing it going at where people in few seconds.

B

Okay, great so the sharepoint templates gallery as a visa said it's a public website that just to have an entry point to share PMP provision template with the entire community and those templates are templates created by the people belonging to the community so by the community for the community.

B

Right now you see on the screen the homepage of the site through which you can browse through all of the template, which are just a few right now, as we said, are just three, but we we plan to improve to increment the number of available template based on community effort and on our own I've forth, and just to show you how you can use this website. Of course, you can go through the top rated or through the latest release the templates using the eye area of the spring.

B

But you can also use a search engine because, as we said, we plan to have much more can place available pretty soon, so we have a search engine which allows you to search the template based on categories. Those are the categories that we defined as far too grouper template by target.

B

Basically, we also have the platform filter so that you can search for sharepoint, online shop, 1016 or 2013 template and, of course, you can also create and submit template which can target multiple platforms at the same time, if you want- and we also have a scope of filter which allows you to select the template, which are targeting just the route website of a new set collection or sub webster, or eventually even partial template that you wanna apply or that you can apply onto an already existing side, for example, just to add some as more capabilities of functionalities like custom content, types and field and custom lists the finishes on top of an already existing site.

B

Moreover, we think that, because sooner or later we will have quite a lot of template in the website, it will be really useful to be being able to filter the template, also based on rating, so that in case you will have multiple copies or multiple template for the same use case, you will be able to search and to download eventually downloada the best ones the most and the best three did one, sir from the gallery. So let's say that we want to search. Of course, we can also search for free text.

B

We can, for example, search for database as a keyword. Then we will have, of course, the search result, and if we got into the detail page of the template we are looking for, we can see a preview image if needed. We can see much more details about the template, as well as some detailed descriptions of what the template will do to the target side as well.

B

As you can download the template from here and by clicking the download button, you will download a dot PMP file, which is the new open, xml format that we provide to the provisioning engine and simply by using this dog BMP file, you will be able to apply and the downloaded template onto a target site we you could already have, and you should already have in your environment. So, for example, in my demo, environment I have a random side.

B

I created based on the team site template and what I can do just using a bunch of PowerShell, is to connect to my target site, providing my own tenant level credentials in the office. Dev VMP tenant, as well as my password of course and I, will be able to apply that template. I already add one copy of the attempt. A downloaded on my file system. I can apply the template onto the target site. It will take a while and as most likely, everybody in the coal knows the appliance be of regime template.

B

The cmdlets will go through all of the artifacts defined in the template and will create all of these artifacts onto the target site and in a matter of few seconds from now, we will have the target site ready with the layout with the home page as light as it was described in the detailed page of our template, as well as with the curricula document library, which will be used to hold a bunch of curriculum vita from some people that wanna work in our own company.

B

But, of course, we are not only and users of this kind of capabilities we most likely want also to submit our own template the cliff.

B

This is our our guests and our hope I would say so if you want to contribute to the template gallery and if you want to submit your own template well at the very basis of the template gallery, there is a github repository which is available under the github com, / office, dev, /, PM, p, dash provisioning, dash template URL, and here you will find first of all, some information like a documentation file which explains you how to publish your own template and if you click on the template, publishing guidelines, you will see there are some or maybe few requirements that you need to adhere to in order publish your own template and, moreover, you will also find the directory structure which, under the root folder main folder, will have one sub folder for each and every catering category that we do support right now in the template gallery and for example, just few seconds ago we got the curriculum vitae database, which is an HR human resources, template which is available under the human resources folder, and you can see, we have two template.

B

Lisa V database is the one we use here. We have the preview image, we have the PMP file and we have a readme file, which is the one that we see exactly the one that we see here, because under the cover the template gallery simply consumes, and it is in sync, with the github repository that we have. So. Let's say that you have a template of your own that you want to share with the community, and thank you for that.

B

So you create your site, you design your site using the web browser or whatever technology you want to use to create your solution, and just after that, you wanna make the template available to everybody else in the community. Well, you can go to powershell. Of course you can connect to the side and instead of doing the apply as your provision template, you can do the get SPO provisioning, template, cmdlets and you can store your file somewhere on your file system as like, as you do, whenever you use the template for yourself.

B

After that, you will simply need to use the fresh new cmdlets that we released this month to apply some changes to the template before submitting the template into the github repository. Add to a pull request as like, as you can do, whenever you want to submit a code sample or a code, a change in the core library.

B

So we release the end set SPO provisioning, template metadata simulator, which asset the path to a BMP file and also a template, display name argument which will allow you to set the display name inside of the complete of the XML template store inside the BMP file, as well as you can pass the image preview URL for the template, as well as you can set some custom properties which are those used to target the platforms for your template.

B

So there will be the PMP support, SPO platform through or forced to declare if you want to support SharePoint Online the same for SharePoint 2016 and exactly the same for sharepoint 2013. So, by setting these three properties display named image, review, RL and the target platforms, your template will be most likely ready to be published. It as a poor request into the github repo for the a template gallery. Another option that you have again using a couple of new cmdlets that we release this month is the one based on the load.

B

Spo provisioning, template simulator, which allows us to load from the file system, a dot, PHP file and to load it in memory. As long as I will do right now, so that, just after loading, the complete, you will have a complex typing memory, which is the provisioning template in memory and with which you can play.

B

You can change all of the properties that you need to change and, for example, and again it can set up the display name, image, / URL and the properties, but you can also play, for example, with some additional information just to make a sample whenever you create a template, and if you include the security information, if you'll also think you'll include the members of the administrators, the owners, the visitors groups and stuff like that. But when you get your template, you want to share it with the entire community.

B

You will need to remove the users coming from your own tenant because you will need to have your template clean and ready to be shared with anybody else, so simply by playing in memory with the provisioning template. You can do stuff like that and just to show you the result in the additional administrators property right now. I have one member which is myself, but if I execute this see this PowerShell statement, I will of course clear.

B

The content of the additional administrators and I will be ready to save my provisioning template, starting from my in-memory infant instance into a target file on the file system, then I will get the file I will create a pull request, including this file, the readme file and any additional content, and the pull request will be evaluated by the PMP core team and will be pretty soon ready in the PMP templates gallery.

B

Last but not least, we also made available a couple of more symbolized the ad SPO 52 provisioning template and they remove SP 0 5 from provisioning template which allow you to add or remove, as the name implies one file from the PMP open, xml files, so that, if you wanna, add some custom content, a preview image or anything else into the GMP file. Before publishing your template, you can use these two cmdlet to enrich your template.

B

Moreover, and to finalize my demo I want to let you know that the template gallery. It is also supported out of the box in the new pnp partner pack v2. So if you go to the creates I collection capability of the partner packer, you will be able to select via templates.

B

You have in the partner back within your own tenant, but you can also search for templates in the template gallery and if you search again, for example, for database, which was the key word we used before, you will find the curriculum video database template, which can be used to create a new set collection in your own payment using the tunnel pack consuming the dot BMP file directly through a set of recipe is from the provisioning template gallery.

B

So I think that you can now start enjoying the template gallery, and we hope that you will also find some time to submit your own templates to enrich the offering for everybody else. I think that's all on my side, visa. So back to you, Thank You, Paula,.

A

Thank you follow great run through of the capabilities and obviously, if you have any questions around this one, you can use this coal and iron window or the sharepoint tecnica de sorry, Microsoft technical network and the ship on developer curve for your questions, but like really like Paula mentions we, we would really like to have more and more templates in the gallery right now. We have only tree, but I was looking into have more community contribution on this side and hopefully within the November BMP release.

A

We are able to have an own slide within this monthly summary will be our listing all of the templates, which are available. One comment what was actually mentioned in the window and by the way, what c'mon, what I feel free to start presenting as well and just the testicle arcady, a good question around the BMP provisioning engine and the relationship for the modern sites and yes, the modern sites are coming sooner or later.

A

Well, we still evading it's coming sooner or later, and it's it's we're evolving that as we go move along now, even with modern sites, you will most likely use to BMP provisioning engine until the full native ship ship went, ape, ability will be available which is somewhere around next year.

A

Maybe, and the reason for that is that, even though the UI and there will be changes into you, I and functionalities, you go still most likely provision lists and libraries and content types and site columns, and all of that, so that those capabilities are still needed and the provisioning engine itself absolutely works. It's done, there's a separate session in eek night, where we talked about the site, provisioning models, how we are evolving that for the future and there's a link in the on window for that session, if you're interested on that one.

A

But let's move to work. Common and I can at least see what you're sharing a sobriquet recorded as well, and let's actually get on going so bar, come on. Take it away. Yeah thanks.

D

Thanks vesa again, can you hear me every ever and my desktop is being presented: okay, okay, okay, thanks thanks versa, so nice to be in the community call and for those who don't know me, my name is worth aman deshpande.

D

I work for a company called content and code based in london and I've been working with the share one framework for a for us quite a while, since it's been since the first drop and I've been playing around with some of the some of the functionalities, and then this is this: is the web part I've created just to get a feel of the SharePoint framework and learn learn along the way? So, let's let straightaway dive into the organization chart web part which I've created.

D

So as you can see this, this web part is running in my local workbench right now it's getting some dummy content which I have provisioned it it gets. The functionality of the web part is that it should show you the current user. That is you. It should show you your managers, your extended managers and your reports, and this information should ideally be pulled from your sharepoint user profile using the rest api. So since this is the local workbench, we are not running in sharepoint. This is running.

D

This is showing you tell me data right now and then, if I switch to my sharepoint instance, I can I have deployed the same web part without any code change to do my sharepoint developer tenant and, as you can see that it's it showing me the current user, along with the extended managers and the reports so and when I click on a particular user.

D

It takes me to the profile page and then you can just to confirm that we are indeed running in sharepoint that this is a you can see the same type of organization structure on the dells profile page as well, so functionality wise, there's, not a lot to talk about, because this is just an organization web part. We have seen seen lots of these before.

D

Let's let the straightaway dive into the code. So, as you can see, I have used the office, you I fabric, the organization chart component, not the react component, because it's not available right now, so I've directly used the of officer I fabric CSS directly in my in my memoir web part. So talking to those of you who are familiar with the SharePoint framework web client-side web part structure.

D

This is a report which I'm using the reactor framework with this is kind of like the starting part of a starting point is the rendered method or for any web part. So, as you can see, all this is doing is creating a react component reactor element and then the react component is actually described here, which contains the gsx-r the tsx and which describes how the web part will render right.

D

So uh a few, a few other things to mention, as I said before, the functionality is really simple in this web part, but I've tried to use a few interesting components. So let me update that later. I've, try to use a few interesting components as in the service scope, which is a nice way to manage plumping for your web part and also have used the new or data batching, a capabilities which are provided by default in the SharePoint framework. So let's first have a look at the service scope and the service keys.

D

So those to those of you who are familiar with the old server side object model and you used to have a pattern called service locator. So if I won't go too deep into that, so think of the service cope as just a dictionary where you have keys and values. Now the key is actually a service key and the value is your instance of a class. Basically.

D

So when my constructor of my react component loads first I create a service key and then registered register it to the default service scope which is available in the SharePoint client-side web part. Now.

D

Depending depending on where the web part is running, so, as you can see, a for the webpart can either run on the local workbench or it can run in SharePoint. So depending on where it is running, I either register my user profile service, which is my main sharepoint server, which which talks to the sharepoint user profile to get the managers and the reports, or I can register the mock user profile service, which, which gives me the dummy data back.

D

So, as you can see, both user profile service and mock user profile service they inherit from and I use a profile interface and then the mock user profile service just gives me back dummy data for all my methods and then, when I go to the user profile service, I actually use the HTTP client to give me the proper sharepoint user profile data from the rest api now moving ahead in in the web part depending on what situation is, if there's one type, a SharePoint or classic SharePoint, I use the default service scope, which means then I use the default implementation of of the service service key and then, when, when my code reaches this, this particular line, it doesn't matter which implementation of the user profile service, I'm using because the the user profile service key, is resistors registers and then creates the user profile service instance.

D

So, while right, when right in the constructor of my web part, I'm able to kind of associate the right implementation to the to the service cope and to the user profile service instance variable now going ahead when when actually the component react component loads, the get user properties function is called and it gets the properties for the current user. So if we go back to the web part, you can see that the image, the name and the job job title of the current use the is shown here.

D

But this SharePoint API does not give you the picture, the name and the job title of your manager or you reports. It only gives you the account name. So once once you load your own profile and you get the account names, the login names of your managers and reports. You have to make another call to get the actual details. So, if I, if I go here, you can see the get properties for current user function is called.

D

Then I said the react state of the user property to the person and then I call the gate, managers and get reports of functions respectively. And then, when I go to my user profile service, you can see that just just to mention that when mod have a user profile service class- and then I have a constructor now, you can see that I haven't explicitly past the HTTP client. The web part HTTP client object because it its present in the service cope.

D

So when I created my default implementation in the constructor in the service /, when I created the service key and when I consumed it, it actually passed. The current service cope in the constructor of the user profile. So when, if I have to get the default HTTP client from it, then I can you can use it.

D

I can get the HTTP client service key from from the SP client base and then create an instance of an HTTP client and for all the functions where I need to talk to sharepoint I can simply call my room stpi on that HTTP client. So this the benefit over here is that you don't have to manually pass in an HTTP client object, or maybe your web part context object to your data fetcher methods.

D

You can directly you get them from the service scope, so you don't have to explicitly keep track of all your dependencies, etc so same way, I'm getting the details of the current user and then, as you can see, the get managers and get reports I just wrappers on top of the gate properties for user method. Here I'm using the OData batching from alleppey so again using the same HTTP client I got from the service cope. Then it has a big in batch method.

D

I looped through the login names which we get from the rest api in the first call, and then I create a I just NQ, all the rest api calls and then just do and execute once so now. All of this is a way libel by default in the ship on framework, you don't have to build your own rest, api, batching library or anything. When you do an execute, it gives you back all the necessary values which then you can use in your web part. Now the cool for this web part is already on github.

D

It might be a bit too complicated to explain it right now in the call, but yeah you can have a have a look at the code straightaway right and.

D

Seem same way, the same methods have implemented on my Mac user profile service class as well. Here, instead of talking to SharePoint, the dummy data is basic pay return. But when my my web part is crosses this, this particular line, it doesn't really care what what instance of the user profile service is being worked on it just because I'm using an interface to work with it, so it should not matter or whether the web part is running on the local workbench or whether it's running in SharePoint.

D

It's just get called the respective methods and then gets the data and shows it so I think that probably covers the few important points I wanted to mention. It's. The the the code for this web part is available on github and I was a root, a written, a blog post, covering the important points in this webpart. So you can I'll post the links you can. You can have a look after afterwards. If you are interested and.

A

The part ya, on that one I'm going to switch on the slides and mentioned that's a great great, great implantation or sample implementation on those web parts, and it's a it's really nice. Well, like you said it, it's a relatively simple, but it actually fulfills the whole. Let's say business scenario, and it shows really nicely how to do mocking and how to build kind of a well those client-side web parts inefficient way so create the implementation.

A

No doubt so, really really good and valuable samples for people to catch up and to learn how to build these things in the future, as well, so great stepping stone or for others as well good. But I think we are closing in two.

A

We have five minutes, so let's actually open up the forum, if there's any random questions on the topics which we cover today, we, this is like the first time within this year, when we have five minutes for actual Q&A time, so we're not running the full hour within the demos and that's because well we we chopped up one demo from today's agenda, so we didn't have three demos will rather have two demos without rushing, which hopefully it's a better approach for the future as well.

A

So if there's any any open questions, what we cover today or the B&B or you need links or anything, feel free to use the on window or you can as well unmute yourself and ask question. We still have 4 min it's time if needed, or we can always continue. The discussion in the in the technical network, Microsoft technical network as well.

A

But I think at least today we had two different great demands from paola and what common and a good examples of the stuff, what we do within the MP initiative and oh one thing what I probably want to quickly ask the solution and the world that the PMP templates gallery, which polish showed so right now that code itself for the gallery site is not actually available. Would that be beneficial? For you guys? Our angles in the call saying, God's and girls doesn't win, feel free good for you community members.

A

So would it be beneficial for people to have that source code available as well, because, just as well, we can put it into BMB tools or any other repositories right.

C

And actually the same, also same question all supplies to the code you used for the PDP test- automation. Yes, it's not public. Yet the to you. If there's interest, we can definitely topic as well. Yeah.

A

Because those are kind of a typical asp.net MVC applications, but it might be beneficial well because I'm, why not actually share them? Maybe we'll put them out as a source code available in the BNP's holes before the next release, and nigel is probably asking something related on birds: delivery on ship on Saturday Belgium, which is next Saturday Burt. What are you actually there? Just out of curiosity now you have two minutes time to promote the session.

A

C

Session is about explaining an overview of the breadth of B&B, covering what the speed p do. What value can can you get out of it and some cool demos sale on the the key elements of PDP? Actually, that's it's just a 50-minute session, so it's fairly short trying to put some dams in there and some general information about pnp sounds.

A

Good sounds good, there's.

C

Also session from world like making some supplies for him as well around the airport framework.

A

Yeah, but okay anyway, I think it's it's time to close up this one. If there's any, not any open questions, so, let's actually close this monthly community call. So thank you. Everybody for joining we'll get to recording out the youtube channel within 24 hours, together with links and all of that stuff. So there will be announcement in the microsoft technical network which will have links and references which were mentioned during the call. The presentation is already available in the HTTP, sorry in the in the dark side.

A

So if you are interested on downloading that one or if you want to use any of the slides within your within your work, you can absolutely do that as well. So if you go spp and a kmss BB&B dash doors, that presentation is available within that site as well. But thank you, everybody for joining and hoping to see you on the November community call or in the upcoming special interest group calls. So thank you. Cheers.
