Demos

Demos delivered in this session

  • Delegated and application permissions in the Microsoft Identity Platform – demystifies the identity model with a clearly delivered 100 level overview of app permissions - operation and terminology, i.e., delegation, requests, grants, consent, tokens, etc.    How app/services permission delegation works, how tokens are aligned to a machine or to a person. Is the app or person authorized to access resources?  How and when machines dynamically/statically request permissions and more.

  • Localization check inside SharePoint Framework projects – VS Code extension to increase your productivity – a VS Code and Node.js extension that keeps resources in sync by making sure all localization labels inside SharePoint Framework project files across organization are consistent.   The extension is automatically activated for your SPFx solutions and checks, whether localization resource files (en-us.js, nl-nl.js, etc.) follow the pattern, defined in the corresponding strings.d.ts. Prevents accidental or refactoring errors in SPFx solutions.

  • Using field lookups with list formatting – Field Type = “Lookup.”  Lookups get values from a list and have limited formatting options.  Of horse, this limitation does not deter Chris from showing crazy, crazier, craziest formatting options for lookups.   Approach = format the lookup column into which content from the list will flow.  Use advanced forEach property.   In this demo, Chris shows formatting capabilities available in a referenced sample.   

     

Thank you for your work. Samples are often showcased in Demos.
