Use multiple Node.js versions on your computer and develop a SPFx webpart

Thankfully, with Node Version Manager, we can. To dive directly into the commonly used Node.js versions: SPFx apps require Node.js LTS 10.x, see Set up your SharePoint Framework development environment.

Azure Logic Apps Toolbox 4-Working with SharePoint dropdown fields

Azure Logic Apps Toolbox 4-Working with SharePoint dropdown fields

Yesterday I documented in “Get data from SharePoint as HTML table with Azure Logic Apps” how data is retrieved from SharePoint Online with an Azure Logic app. To dig a little deeper into working with SharePoint list data, here are a few more helpful tips.

The result shall be formatted as HTML table and sent to an email address. Azure Logic Apps and Power Automate (Flow) is perfect for such a quick task. ...
