Demos

Demos delivered in this session

• Hands-on with Microsoft Graph File Uploads and Downloads building file access into a Microsoft 365 application using Microsoft Graph!  Quick review of available Learning Path modules (lab exercises) calling on MGT in JS development.   Focus on one module/scenario covering listing, downloading and uploading large/small files from OneDrive for Business using a single-page java script application leveraging Microsoft Graph.   Tips on authentication, permissions, and execution using Graph SDK or HTML commands.

• Microsoft Teams Toolkit v2 and SharePoint Framework debugging – the Teams Toolkit for VS Code v2.0, in preview, has native support for debugging SharePoint Framework solutions directly inside the Microsoft Teams workbench!   In this walk through, Vesa uses Toolkit v2.7 to quickly create a Teams app hosted in Azure, sets a breakpoint, runs npm install and gets a debug error.   Great, working as expected!  Exemplifies new generation of multi-product toolkits.   

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