Last week I had to upgrade an old SharePoint Framework (SPFX) project, and surprisingly, the process was smoother than expected.
For those unfamiliar, SPFX is a framework for building extensions for SharePoint Online. Here is an example of an SPFX extension: Microsoft Docs.
The upgrade approach I took was a combination of:
- Creating a completely new SPFX project to see the latest project structure.
- Using the M365 CLI to generate a step-by-step upgrade guide.
Overall, it turned out to be a pretty smooth experience and the CLI was quite new for me, and I wanted to document it here.
Hope this helps!
