Power Automate can create a SharePoint site end-to-end via the SPSiteManager/Create REST endpoint, no PowerShell, no admin center click-through. Useful for project sites, department portals, or onboarding sites that get created the same way every time.

Worth leading with directly, since it changes which flow pattern is actually worth building: Power Automate’s SharePoint connector has a dedicated Copy file action that copies server-side, without the file’s content ever passing through the flow. A meaningfully better default than the “Get file content” + “Create file” two-step pattern for most straightforward copies. This

Worth leading with directly, since it changes what this post can actually recommend: `.getAll()` was removed entirely in PnPjs v4, the current major version as of 2026. The replacement isn’t a renamed method. It’s a genuinely different pattern, the same async-iterator (`for await…of`) approach covered from the JavaScript-fundamentals side in Does “for…of” loop wait for

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 the
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 similarly-named

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

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 a

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

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

SPFx (SharePoint Framework) is Microsoft’s current framework for building client-side web parts and extensions with TypeScript and React. The basic shape of getting started hasn’t changed, but two real pieces of the toolchain have (the build tooling and the way you test locally) and a lot of “getting started” guides still show the old versions.
