SCSS (Sassy CSS, a syntax of Sass) compiles down to plain CSS, adding variables, nesting, mixins, and functions that CSS itself didn’t originally have. Worth knowing up front, since it changes when SCSS is actually necessary rather than just familiar: native CSS has since caught up on several of these. Nesting and custom properties both

Creating many list items in one call means the same SharePoint REST `$batch` endpoint covered from the PnPjs side in SharePoint Data Handling with PnP Batching Queries. Worth reading there for the wire-format details and the real 100-request cap, both of which apply here too. This post stays on the raw `fetch`-based approach specifically, for

Formatting a date correctly for a global audience is a different problem than storing or converting it between time zones, for that side (native `Date` limitations, the new `Temporal` API, and which library is still current), see Store and Display Dates Properly in JavaScript. This post stays specifically on locale-aware formatting: getting the date order,

Out-of-the-box SharePoint list and library views come with a command bar full of buttons (New, Upload, Share, Automate, Power Apps) most of which a given audience doesn’t need and shouldn’t necessarily have. JSON command bar formatting lets you hide, rename, or restyle those buttons without any code. In this post: Applying the JSON format ·

TypeScript adds static typing on top of JavaScript, catching a real class of bugs at compile time instead of at runtime. The fundamentals here haven’t changed in years, but two specific things in most existing TypeScript guides have: the default target in a new project’s tsconfig.json, and how decorators actually work as of TypeScript 5.0.

The SharePoint REST API is organized entirely around one root path ({site-url}/_api/) with everything else (lists, files, users, search) hanging off web, site, or a dedicated service beneath it. Here’s a reference list of the endpoints you’ll actually reach for, plus a working example calling one from plain JavaScript. In this post: Site and web

Worth a direct correction before anything else: “Hillbilly Tabs” isn’t a generic jQuery/Script Editor technique. It’s the name of one specific, real, open-source SPFx web part built by Mark Rackley, and describing it as DOM manipulation via a Script Editor web part describes a different, unrelated (and now largely non-functional) approach entirely. This post covers

“Modern SharePoint site design” covers more ground than one post can usefully hold, so this one stays narrow: the page-composition layer: the web parts, navigation, and personalization choices that actually shape what a visitor sees and clicks. For the step-by-step of creating and configuring a site in the first place, see A Comprehensive Guide to

Plain fetch() or XMLHttpRequest work fine for hitting SharePoint’s REST API. The part that’s actually SharePoint-specific isn’t the HTTP call itself, it’s the headers: an Accept header SharePoint’s OData implementation expects, and a request digest token required on anything that isn’t a GET. In this post: A GET request: fetching list items · A POST

The Events web part surfaces upcoming items from a SharePoint Events list on a modern page. Straightforward to add, but worth knowing its real limits before assuming it handles more than it actually does. The most common assumption that trips people up: it does not include built-in RSVP or registration, despite that being the first
