Many of the properties in a web part’s manifest file are well known to developers as they’re covered in the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) documentation. For example, the preconfiguredEntries:[]
property contains an object of name-value pairs that tell SharePoint what toolbox group users can find the web part, the localized title
& description
of the web part, and default values in the web part’s public properties. Other properties, like the supportedHosts:[]
array specify where web part can be used.
But did you know there are a lot more properties available to you?
In this SharePoint Framework (SPFx) quick tip, I want to focus on some properties in a web part’s manifest file that many people aren’t familiar with.
