What is SharePoint Framework (SPFx)?

SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a development framework for building custom solutions that work with Microsoft SharePoint. It is a modern, web-based platform that enables developers to build and deploy client-side solutions that interact with SharePoint data and services.

SPFx allows developers to create client-side web parts, extensions, and applications that can be used on modern SharePoint pages and in SharePoint Online. These solutions can be built using popular web development tools and frameworks, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

SPFx solutions are designed to be responsive and work across a variety of devices, including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. They can also be easily integrated with other Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Teams and Office 365.

SPFx is a powerful tool that enables developers to create custom solutions that can enhance the functionality and user experience of SharePoint. It is an important resource for developers who are looking to build solutions for SharePoint and other Microsoft platforms.
