Local Time Zones for PnP Modern Search Web Part

Sat, 21 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000

I was working with the PnP Modern Search Web Part which is a great tool. If you have not seen it take a look. It provides a lot of robust features that allow you to aggregate content and display results in many different ways. I recently had an issue where I had created a custom Handlebars template to show the events. The layout worked great. The one issue was when the times for the dates were output they were in UTC.

Deploying Application Customizers with a Site Design

Thu, 24 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Sometimes things are harder than they need to be. I have been working on Site Designs recently to automate the creation and deployment of different element in a site. For the most part things were pretty straight forward for what I needed to do, add a theme to a site, add site columns, and add content types. This time around I needed to deploy an SPFx Application Customizer that needed to be installed on individual sites. The official documentation on this is a little lacking. It doesn’t really explain what you need to do in order to make it work. I also looked at the PnP Site Design Samples which got me a little closer. It took me quite a while to figure out the right magic voodoo combination that got it to work.

Using Widget Wrangler with PnP for IE

Wed, 17 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

I am creating client-side webparts using the Widget Wrangler for SharePoint. The webparts all use PnP JS. This site needs to work in IE 10+. The webparts work great in Chrome and most other browsers. However, when i run it in IE I get an error about Undefined Headers. This is because PnP uses Promises which IE 10 and 11 don’t support. To fix that I had to include some polyfills and perform a sacrifice to the SharePoint gods.
