SharePoint Framework is also abbreviated as SPFx. SharePoint Framework offers modern technologies, Node-based development, TypeScript etc. that are applied to SharePoint and Office 365 development. Earlier, we used to create  web-parts  (rectangular boxes with defined functionality) and even business users knew what web-parts are. In SharePoint Framework, these web-parts are termed as  Client web-parts . From a technology perspective, they are quite different, but from a user perspective, they are the same rectangular widgets that the users can add on their pages. In addition, we know about Add-In model and the Iframe-based integration, which we used in our daily SharePoint development. History of SharePoint Development Farm Solutions The development in SharePoint started with Farm Solutions, WSPs, full trust code. This approach was very powerful and developers could literally do whatever they wanted to do on the SharePoint Farm. However, it made upgrades very difficul

TypeScript was developed and introduced by Microsoft. TypeScript is object oriented programming language which is considered as a super set of JavaScript. TypeScript cannot be used directly on SharePoint platforms. TypeScript code has to be precompiled to JavaScript before deploying it on SharePoint. TypeScript has compiler (tsc) to compile the code from TS to JS. The compiler produces a JavaScript file from a TypeScript source file We can install TypeScript for Visual Studio from Microsoft site (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48593). For other versions of Visual Studio, the download links are available from http://www.typescriptlang.org/index.html#download-links. Create a new SharePoint 2016 - Empty project (or SharePoint 2013).

It allows users to rename or move their documents to new locations without breaking the links referring to the document. It also helps in the SEO improvement and search based indexing to let the documents to be functional. Internally, SharePoint maintains the same DocID assigned to the document, even if it is renamed or moved to a different location. We need to activate the “Document ID Service” feature from the Site Collection features page. Henceforth, with the introduction of Durable links in SharePoint 2016, users do not have to worry about the broken or dead links while renaming or moving a document from one document library to another. File Names With the release of SharePoint 2016, Microsoft has introduced two of the good features for documents in a document library:- Special Characters In SharePoint 2013,
