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.

Worth a direct correction before anything else: there’s no Microsoft feature actually called “Office 365 Branding Central.” The real, current feature is the SharePoint Brand Center: and its scope is narrower than a unified branding tool spanning Teams, Outlook, and Power BI. It centralizes logos, fonts, and images for SharePoint experiences specifically, plus organization font

Genuinely useful, but with one real limitation worth understanding before relying on it: that persistence only holds within a single site collection, not across them. This post covers how it actually works, the

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.
