🗒️ Quick intro

SharePoint Framework Toolkit is a Visual Studio Code extension that aims to boost your productivity in developing and managing SharePoint Framework solutions helping at every stage of your development flow, from setting up your development workspace to deploying a solution straight to your tenant without the need to leave VS Code, it even allows you to create a CI/CD pipeline to introduce automated deployment of your app and also comes along with AI capabilities which will allow you to manage your SharePoint Online tenant straight from GitHub Copilot chat extension.

Sounds cool 😎? Let’s see some new enhancements we added in this minor release

This one is a long-awaited feature 🥳. Many of you work with more than one Microsoft 365 tenant, be it a customer tenant, a dev tenant or a test tenant, and until now, switching between them meant re-providing the app registration details each time. Not anymore.

SPFx Toolkit now allows you to save multiple app registrations in the extension settings, each with a friendly name.

New settings to store multiple app registrations

When creating a new app registration you may provide a friendly name for it, and when signing in, you simply pick the app registration you want to use from the list of saved ones.

The name of the app registration you are currently signed in with is also visible in the view, so you always know which tenant you are working with.

If you no longer need one of the saved app registrations, you may just as easily remove it.

Already have an app registration set up? No worries, we added a migration flow that will move your existing app registration to the new setting, so you don’t need to configure anything from scratch.

CI/CD workflow support for multiple SPFx versions

Generating a GitHub Actions workflow or Azure DevOps pipeline for your SPFx project is one of the features that saves you quite some time. With SPFx 1.22 moving from gulp to heft, the generated workflows did not keep up and still used gulp for newer projects.

In this release, we updated the CLI for Microsoft 365 dependency to the latest version, which aligns all the CI/CD command fixes. Now the CI/CD action generates a workflow or pipeline that matches the SPFx version of your project, using heft (npm run build) for newer versions of SPFx and gulp for older ones.

Export site level app catalogs with apps

Ever needed a quick overview of all site level app catalogs in your tenant and the apps deployed to them? We added a new export button to the site level app catalogs node in the tenant view. With a single click, you may export all site level app catalogs together with their apps to a JSON report, which you may later use for auditing, documentation or any further processing.

New AI capabilities to manage SharePoint lists

We continue to extend the Language Model Tools that allow you to manage your SharePoint Online tenant straight from GitHub Copilot chat. In this release, we added two new tools:

list_spo_list - retrieves the lists and libraries available on a specific site
update_spo_list - updates the properties of a list or library on a specific site. It supports the same properties that are available in the add_spo_list tool

Update SharePoint list using SPFx Toolkit Copilot tool

Together with the already existing tools, this means you may now create, list, update and remove lists simply by chatting with GitHub Copilot 🤖.

Other improvements

On top of the above, this release also brings a few smaller but valuable changes:

Updated sign in confirmation page - the page you see after successfully signing in got a refresh
Removed yarn package manager - we streamlined the supported package managers and removed yarn
Added telemetry - helps us understand which features are used the most, so that we may focus our efforts where they matter. You may learn more in our docs
Critical bug fix - v4.22.0 resolves a critical bug found right after the v4.21.0 release

This release would not have been possible without the help of some really awesome folks who stepped in and joined our journey in creating the best-in-class SharePoint Framework tooling in the world. We would like to express our huge gratitude and shout out to:

👍 Power of the community

This extension would not have been possible if it hadn’t been for the awesome work done by the Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community. Each sample gallery: SPFx web parts & extensions, and ACE samples & scenarios, is populated with the contributions made by the community. Many of the functionalities of the extension, like upgrading, validating, and deploying your SPFx project, would not have been possible if it weren’t for the CLI for Microsoft 365 tool. I would like to thank all of our awesome contributors sincerely! Creating this extension would not have been possible if it weren’t for the enormous work done by the community. You all rock 🤩.
