💡 [Feature]: Create model/service based on SharePoint list data #232

Open mkm17 opened 1 month ago

🎯 Aim of the feature

Some time ago, I came across a helpful package that makes generating elements in SPFx projects easier. For instance, you can create a model based on data retrieved from a SharePoint list. Perhaps this functionality could be added to the SharePoint Framework extension using the mentioned package or custom code.

I am not sure if the whole mapping used in the package is needed, maybe something simpler would be enough.

I am also adding the author @SPFxAppDev for the discussion.

Thanks @mkm17 for suggesting a new idea 👍. You Rock 🤩. Besides generating a model based on a response what other functionalities you consider helpful?

Hi everyone and thank you, @mkm17, for including me in the discussion and referring to my solution. To be honest, the mapping package is the most useful feature in my opinion. Because the model is generated with "pretty" names and you can convert the "raw" JSON from the REST API to the model in seconds or vice versa. BTW: The mapper package is NO longer in the beta phase.

@Adam-it Let me know if I can help or give more input or anything else!

@Adam-it I saw that in the package there is also a possibility to create also a basic service to communicate with a SharePoint list. That also would speed-up the development process. @SPFxAppDev Maybe you see any functionalities to add/merge from the package?
