Sample solution illustrating building shared code using SharePoint Framework libraries. The solution consists of two client-side web parts that use a shared service to show information about recently modified documents.

• clone this repo
• in the command line:
  • change the directory to react-recentdocuments-service
    • npm i to restore dependencies
    • (optional) if you want to see document previews on cards, in the ./src/services/documentsService/DocumentsService.ts file, change the URLs of documents and document images to sample URLs from your tenant
    • gulp bundle to build the project
    • npm link to register the service project locally as a package with npm
  • change the directory to react-recentdocuments
    • npm link react-recentdocuments-service to link the local service package
    • npm i to restore project dependencies
    • gulp serve to build the project and start the workbench

This sample solution is built on the SharePoint Framework GA release and illustrates building shared code using SharePoint Framework libraries.

This solutions illustrates the following concepts on top of the SharePoint Framework:

• building SharePoint Framework libraries
• building SharePoint Framework services
• working with local Node packages
• registering SharePoint Framework services with the page scope
• consuming SharePoint Framework services from multiple client-side web parts
• sharing data between web parts using SharePoint Framework service
