Demos
- PowerShell Snippets for Microsoft Graph Docs – Microsoft Graph now supports PowerShell Code Snippets both in the documentation portal and in Graph Explorer as well as in integrations with MGT and Adaptive Cards. Today, see where to find the code snippets and see what you can do with them. Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and test snippets in a Microsoft 365 Developer tenant so you’re not using your real data.
- Learn from the Community – Introduction to new weekly initiative – comprised of an article Series (Learn from the Community), interview videos (Show & Tell videos – interviews & demos), and useful links focused on end-to-end real-world solution implementations. Stories are delivered by MVPs, student ambassadors, AppDev challenge winners and Microsoft architects. Solutions are demoed and documentation shared. The program’s goal is to inspire with stories about end-to-end solutions – why and what built.
- Customizing MGT Components in your solution – for the last 9 recordings we covered off what is MGT and delivered a complete component tour. Now we focus on customizations that allow you to deliver native looking experiences for your particular app. Six areas for customizations – styling, templating, and localizing components along with handling events, caching Graph calls in components and Right-to-Left support. Customizations can be Global or single instance in scope.
Thank you for your creativity and work execution. Samples are often showcased in Demos.
