Today I’m excited to share a new regular show: CloudDev Clarity. In this show, Julie Turner & Andrew Connell discuss topics for Microsoft 365 & Azure developers.

I like ESLint & having rules to either enforce coding standards and/or good practices is a good thing. I like that SPFx projects now use ESLint over the long-deprecated TSLint. But vendors telling developers how to write code, especially imposing subjective or obsolete coding styles, isn’t cool.

In this post, I’ll give you an update on where we are with popular frameworks and tools developers use in the client-side SharePoint development world.

This is a story about a mea culpa. You should have been installing the gulp-cli package globally (as the docs show), not gulp globally. To better understand why, keep reading.

In this post, I want to tell you about some of this modernization work I’ve been doing and how you can apply it to your SPFx projects!

Shrink & optimize your SPFx JavaScript bundles by ditching IE11 support.

I’ve created a pair of presets for SPFx projects to make your life easier when you want to use ESLint and ditch the long-deprecated TSLint tool that Microsoft includes in SPFx projects. All you have to do is install a single npm package and you’re automatically using ESLint!

I recently refreshed my Jest presets for SharePoint Framework (SPFx) projects add added an improvement for developers who decide to use a different version of TypeScript from the default version set on new projects. In this post, learn about these improvements and how you can add automated testing with just one step to your projects!

The ECMAScript community came to the consensus, initiated by the TypeScript Team in their 2019 Roadmap post, to deprecate TSLint in favor of ESLint over 2.5 years ago. Yet SPFx projects still use TSLint. In this post, learn how to replace it with ESLint, the standard for linting both JavaScript & TypeScript projects.

As we near the end of 2020, I wanted to take a look at where we are with respect to the State of SharePoint Client-Side Development. In this post, I’ll give you an update on where we are with popular frameworks and tools developers use in the client-side SharePoint development world.

Join me for a half-day virtual workshop at the Microsoft 365 Collaboration Conference to get up to speed on the SharePoint Framework.

I have seen questions since the folks at npm added an automatic scan for vulnerabilities after every npm install. In my opinion you shouldn’t be alarmed.

Gulp is a task runner that uses JavaScript to glue plugins and create tasks. Unlike MSBuild, it favors code over configuration.
