Demos
Create new Team using Viva Connections ACEs components from the Dashboard – overview of ACEs (Adaptive Card Extensions) - Dashboard, Card view and Quick view. Integration with Microsoft Graph APIs. Handling clicks in Card and Quick views to create a team from desktop or mobile dashboards. Creates team using Graph API method. Thorough code walk-through. Button on “Team Create Request” card to “Open Form” – opens Quick view. Team creation is confirmed on Quick view.
Building Microsoft Teams data dashboard with SharePoint Framework – an inspirational demo/sample (react-teams-lead-dashboard) showing how to create a dashboard using tools, libraries and techniques for developing “modern” Microsoft 365 solutions. Uses Teams Personal app (configurable on per user basis and with multiple tabs), SharePoint client-side web part, UI fully integrated with Microsoft Teams and automated provisioning of fields, lists through Microsoft Graph. Render dashboard in Teams or SharePoint Online.
SPFx Design Patterns – Asynchronous Rendering – slow web parts slows pages, slows Teams apps, and often is attributed to web part rendering as opposed to being hung or frozen. Waiting on data slows rendering. OOB rendering is commonly synchronous. The fix - asynchronous rendering with isRenderAsync. Referenced samples here use this method. For better user experience, use progress indicators (spinners, bars, shimmer interface) to make rendering seem faster.
