Demos:

• Document Links Accordion SPFx Web Part – takes information from a list or library, groups by metadata and displays in an interactive way.  Resources used: PnP React Controls (Accordion, Carousel, Pile Picker…) and PnPjs (Fluent API, Batching, Caching…).  Configure the web part – select library, content type…   Simple, elegant and native appearing UI.  Desktop and mobile experience.  Powerful as it reuses existing controls to accelerate development and benefits community when shared.   

• New Development Containers for SPFx Samples – it is now possible to incorporate samples built in previous versions of SPFx and node in your current apps using remote containers/virtual machines.  Understand the situation and the solution including manifests, certificates, trust, rebinding ports, Docker, VS Code Remote containers extension (Preview), how to tell if sample is containerized, documentation and more.  Moving forward/backward – containerizing all samples from v1.13, then v1.12 …     

• Viva Connections – Consuming SharePoint Online Data in SPFx Adaptive Card Extensions - see 2 simple, quick and powerful examples of how to get and render a list of items from a Microsoft List/SharePoint list either using native SharePoint support in SPFx or using PnPjs into an ACE QuickView card.  Key points to remember – ACEs are built on top of SPFx, also can use PnPjs, and data binding works as usual with Adaptive Card syntax.
