5 must have extensions to work with SharePoint framework (SPfx)

By Eli H. Schei on Friday, 25 June 2021, 9:38Monday, 22 November 2021, 12:49

I have previosly written a blogpost about my favorite extensions for VSCode. Today I want to share my favorite extensions to work with SharePoint framework (SPfx). If you know about some extension, tool or package that should be on this list let me know!

1. SPfx fast-serve

Do you feel like it takes forever to serve your project on the local server? And that the hot reaload is not exactly hot? Then you should try SPfx fast serve! This article describes it in more detail and also covers the setup.

2. SPfx snippets

A nice little collection of snippets so you don’t have to write everything from scratch.

3. SPfx debug extension

For easier debugging. This is by the same creator as SPfx snippets, Elio Struyf, you should check out all of his extensions for SPfx and MS graph.

4. Rencore Deploy packages extension

I usally prefer to deploy my spfx apps using pnp powershell, but if you want to do it directly from VSCode this extension is for you.

5. Use NVM to switch between node versions

If you work with multiple apps that have different node dependencies Node Version Manager (NVM) is a must. I have previously written a blogpost on how to setup and use NVM (for windows).


If you like this blogpost you might also like the other blogposts in the same category.

I'm a front-end developer who mainly work in the Microsoft 365-sphere. As a developer I read a lot of blogs. And in my experience I can read multiple different blogposts about exactly the same topic, and only one of them makes sense to me. Therefore I’m adding my voice to the mix, and hopefully one of my blogposts will be the one that makes sense of a topic for you. You can learn more about me here.
