Why do we need multiple SPFX Web Parts?
There are a couple of reasons why we can think of having multiple SPFx web parts to a single solution. Yeoman takes a very long time to scaffold the SPFx solution. The time taken can be around 10 to 15 minutes. Adding new SPFx webpart to an existing SPFx solution will save time.
More complex SharePoint Framework client-side web parts likely have many properties that the user must configure. You can help users by adding preconfigured property entries for specific scenarios. A preconfigured entry initializes the web part with pre-set values.
When to use the preconfiguredentries property in HTML?
When users add web parts to the page, the information from the preconfiguredEntries property is used to display the web part in the toolbox and define its default settings when it’s added to the page.
Can You dynamically set default properties in SPFX?
SPFx allows you to pre-configure default values for your web part custom properties that get applied when a user first adds the web part to a page. When you want to dynamically set default values, you can override the onInit method to apply any logic you need.
How to add multiple webparts to single SPFX solution using Yeoman?
From Command Prompt, navigate to existing SPFx solution directory. Type “yo @microsoft/sharepoint” and hit Enter. Yeoman will automatically detect the pre-existing SPFx solution and will only ask for the webpart information, as compared to the first run instance where it also had asked for the solution information.
When to add webparts to a single solution?
If the webparts are being developed for the same reason or they are part of one module, then they can be combined in a single solution. This will help to have better packaging. One single package will have all related webparts together. Follow the below steps to add another SPFx webpart to existing SPFx solution.
When to use Dynamic imports in SPFX programming?
When building SPFx solutions consisting of several components or if you’re using third-party libraries, consider dynamic imports. First analyze the resulting bundle size, and use the strategies outlined in this page to split the code into multiple bundles where each one is loaded only when needed.
When to use SPFX packaging in SharePoint framework?
When developing SharePoint Framework components (web parts and extensions) you may release a single one to an environment and be done with it. Or more likely you’ll be creating multiple web parts and extensions and will need to decide how to approach SPFx packaging.
