The Pros and Cons of Fluent UI React

Posted on June 30, 2020 by Sheryl Darroch Leave a comment

I recently got to know Fluent UI React when I used it in custom SPFx webpart. Fluent UI React is a framework of customizable components from Microsoft that fit seemlessly into Microsoft products like SharePoint. If you aren’t familiar with Fluent UI, don’t feel bad. It is the relatively new rebranded Office Fabric React. Ahh, you gotta love how Microsoft is always renaming things! Just when we get used to saying something, they decide to change it. So whether you know it as Office Fabric or Fluent UI, here is my take on working with it.

In a recent project where I was building a SPFx webpart using React Hooks, Typescript, Fluent UI and PNPjs, I found myself struggling to save a multiperson peoplepicker to a SharePoint list.

What’s new in Office 365 (October 2019)

Once again Microsoft has been rolling out updated and new features at neck breaking speed. While it’s hard to argue with their numbers I cannot help but agree with some of the sentiments put forth by Andrew Connell in his SharePoint Framework Summer 2019 Wish List post on September 4^th. If you’re a developer doing any work with the SharePoint Framework the article is a must read. If you’re not, just know that the gist of the article is “New stuff is great but how about we clean up what we already have rolled out”. Again, hard to argue with Microsoft’s results but Andrew’s logic is spot on as usual. With that diatribe out of the way here are some other notable happenings in Office 365 in the past month.
