PnP (Patterns and Practices) is the umbrella for several separate tools that speed up SharePoint Framework development — PnPjs for calling SharePoint from code, PnP PowerShell for admin/automation tasks, and a library of reusable React controls for SPFx web parts. This post covers what each actually does, where the real limitations are, and two places […]
Worth a direct correction before anything else: a `for…of` loop does wait for an `await` inside it — each iteration pauses until the awaited promise resolves before the loop advances to the next one. That’s the opposite of what a stub answer to this question sometimes claims, and it’s easy to get backwards since the

This post covers a different problem than How to Update Term Store Values with REST API, MS Graph, JavaScript, and PnPjs — that post covers editing the terms themselves (renaming, restructuring the taxonomy). This one is about the far more common task: tagging a list item with an existing term through a Managed Metadata column,

Worth leading with directly, since it’s the biggest recent change to this topic: JavaScript now has a native, built-in replacement for the notoriously bad `Date` object. The `Temporal` API reached TC39 Stage 4 (officially part of the language spec) in March 2026 and is already shipping in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge — immutable, timezone-aware, and

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.
