This is the first of five posts giving an overview of creating modern webpart solutions for SharePoint 2013+ environments. The webpart library is part of the gd-sprest SharePoint REST Framework. The demo code can be found in github.
This post will cover the people picker api available in the SharePoint 2013+ environments.
This post will go over a new feature in the gd-sprest library. This feature will help automate the creation and removal of SharePoint web components, specifically the Field, Content Type, List and User Custom Actions. Refer to the SharePoint Scripts Starter Project blog post for additional details of using this feature, this post just goes over the feature.
