Step by Step SharePoint Framework setup with Angular2



I started trying the new SharePoint Framework (SPFx), which looks quite promising.
let’s start to setting up a SPFx project that uses Angular 2.

Prerequisites to configure/setup the development machine : link

Step 1: In cmd, Navigate to the directory where we want to create our project.

Step 2: Run the command "yo @microsoft/sharepoint"


Step 3: Now we need to follow the instruction given in SharePoint Client-side Solution Generator 



Step 4: Here at this stage we need to select the JS framework. there is possibility to select the out of the box framework supported. however to use the Angular 2 as our JS Framework we need to select the "No javaScript web framework"


Step 5: Now installation and configuration will start, it will take sometime to complete. Once that done, will get the success message.


Step 6: Now to start the local web server, run this command: gulp serve


Step 7: At this point it browser, use the (+) sign to add the webpart created. Here we named it "HelloWorld.


Step 8: At this stage now we need to install the Angular2 using npm package manager. for that need to open our SPFx project in code editor. here we are going to use the visual studio code. It will looks something like below image.


Step 9: Open the package.json and add the angular dependency.


Step 10: Open cmd and run the "npm install" command.

Step 11: Once installation is done, go back to project and create new folder called "app" and inside that folder create two files "app.module.ts" and "app.component.ts" now structure will look like below.


Step 12:  We are going to display sample text box with label on our webpart, for that add the below code in app.component.ts and app.module.ts




Step 13: Open the HelloWorldWebPart.ts file, here we need to make few changes in render method to display our content.


Step 14: Now finally we are done. last step to open the cmd and run the command "gulp serve".


Step 15: Output will looks like below:

You can find the complete code here: SPFxAngular2 



Happy Coding!

Search Query by ContentType name issue

I ran into very weird issue in SharePoint Search while querying the items using ContentType name. Query: ContentType={content type NAME} This was giving me the result of content type, however some extra data/results where coming along in the result. There was no clue what is failing there. Spent few hours and got very useful tip from Search Guru,  MIKAEL SVENSON   that not to use ContentType but to replace that with  SPContentType. Modified Query: SPContentType={content type NAME} Learning: We should use SPContentType instead of ContentType. As Contenttype also includes the mime type and not just the name and may cause issues. SPContentType only stores the name. I hope this small piece of information will save your time!

There was a requirement to filter the search result based on QueryString present in url, and if no QueryString present then should populate all the results. Issue was simple to resolve if every time there is QueryString present, then below Query will do the job. Below filtering the result by checking managed metadata property equals the query string value. Above query was filtering the result based on QueryString given in URL. However it fails if there is no QueryString present in url.  "No result found" message appear. Ideally should populate all the results. And filter should be optional in query for this scenario. So I need to modify the query and to add some condition like, if QueryString present then check managed metadata property equals the query string value, else no. To achieve this, there is syntax  {searchboxquery} {? <some KQL expression> } , If MyParameter querystring is not present in URL,  then just first part of KQL query will e
