Setting up the development environment
In this section, we will look at setting up the development environment for SPFx. Setting up the environment is crucial for ensuring a seamless development experience. This section will guide you through the necessary steps to configure your machine and set up a Microsoft 365 developer tenant.
System requirements
As mentioned in the Preface, please make sure that the system requirements are met.
Installing the required tools
We are using SPFx version 1.19.0 in this book, hence, the instructions mentioned in this chapter are specific to that version. Microsoft’s official documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/set-up-your-development-environment) on the setup for SPFx has similar instructions too; however, those instructions are related to the latest version of SPFx, which is 1.20.0 at the time of authoring this book.
First, you need to install Node.js and npm. Visit the official Node.js website...
