In this chapter, we are going to get started with creating solutions with the SharePoint Framework. We do this by first setting up our development environment using a step-by-step approach to ensure everything is working as it should before writing some real code. Then we'll test the environment and get more familiar with the toolchain by generating a simple hello world web part. Finally, we'll examine the anatomy of the generated project by looking in more detail at what's inside and how the solution works.
During this chapter, we'll:
- Learn to set up our development environment
- Deploy the necessary tools for our development needs
- Test the toolchain to see that everything works correctly
