In this tutorial, we will learn how we can develop the first hello world web part step by step in the SharePoint framework aka SPFx. The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is the modern way of customizing the SharePoint or building a new solution that supports both in SharePoint online as well as SharePoint on-premise (SharePoint 2016 & SharePoint 2019). Step by step – create SharePoint hello world web part in SPFx: Before going to this, I would recommend to set up the development environment for SharePoint Framework (SPFx), if you have not done yet, in the previous article I have explained this how we can set up – SharePoint Framework (SPFx) development environment Setup step by stepStep: Create a new web part project process
- Open the node.js command prompt and go to your desired folder path where you want to create your project.
cd C:\Temp\SPFx

- If you have installed node.js – you can use any of the commands prompts like windows command prompt, PowerShell or Node.js command prompt.
md Helloworld-WebpartThen navigate to the newly created folder “Helloworld-Webpart” using the below command:
cd Helloworld-Webpart

yo @microsoft/sharepointAfter a few seconds, we will be asked to pass the parameters in a sequence, so in most of the parameters, pass the default selection as-is:
- Accept the default helloworld-webpart as your solution name, and then press the enter key.
- Select SharePoint Online only (latest), for Which baseline packages do you want to target for your component(s)? and press the enter key.
- Select Use the current folder for where do you want to place the files?
- Select N for “Do you want to allow the tenant admin the choice of being able to deploy the solution to all sites immediately without running any feature deployment or adding apps in sites? “
- Select N for “Will the components in the solution require permissions to access web APIs that are unique and not shared with other components in the tenant?”
- Select WebPart for “Which type of client-side component to create?”
- WebPart
- Extension
- Library
1. What is your Web part name? (HelloWorld) - hit enter key 2. What is your Web part description? (HelloWorld description)-hit enter key 3. Which framework would you like to use? (Use arrow keys) - select No JavaScript frameworkNotes: There are three types of frameworks available, such as:
- No JavaScript framework
- React
- Knockout



- While running the “yo @microsoft/sharepoint” command we may get some errors like below:
found 1918 vulnerabilities (1861 low, 13 moderate, 44 high) run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details
- To fix the above error run the “npm audit fix” or “npm audit fix –force”.
- Most of the errors can be fixed by running some certain commands which will be displayed in the error description – this is the beauty of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx).
gulp trust-dev-certRun the gulp serve command
gulp serve

npm install gulp@3.9.1 or npm install gulp@3.9.1 -gor You could just copy “node_modules” folder from other SPFx projects in your machine and replace the current “node_modules” folder – I did it and for me, it worked. Then, again run the gulp serve command
gulp serveNow, we can see the above error is gone and successfully gulp serve is being executed.



Syntax: https://yoursposite/_layouts/15/workbench.aspx Example: https://globalsharepoint2020.sharepoint.com/sites/allcompany/_layouts/15/workbench.aspxThen, we can see the below workbench.aspx page:


- While displaying the web part in the SharePoint page, we could see the background color of the web part is different – because it inherits the color of the site theme where it is being added, intentionally I have kept this theme different to show it differently.
At this moment let the “gulp serve” continue to run if you stop it accidentally this will not work.Step: Open the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) project in the code editor: We can use the below code editor in the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) project:
- Visual Studio Code
- Atom
- Webstorm


code .Once we type the code . – it will take us to the visual studio code editor tool.
