Farm-scoped deployment of SPFx solutions with extensions in SharePoint 2019?
Hi,
I am pleased by reading that SharePoint 2019 will have support for extensions (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/sharepoint-2019-development-platform).
But, does anyone know if it will be possible to have a farm-scoped solution deployment ? I'm thinking about something similar to the tenant-scoped solution deployment in SP Online - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/tenant-scoped-deployment)
Kind regards,
Oliver Lopez
- AFAIK, the answer is no...SPFx in SP 2019 follows the path released in SPO and indeed the version of SPFx that will be released in SP 2019 will be behind the one released in SPO
jcgonzalezmartin , thank you for your response.
I did some research and found that Vesa wrote that SP2019 would "have 1.4 version as a starting point" https://twitter.com/vesajuvonen/status/1004093918286352386
Then I found that the property "skipFeatureDeployment: true" to be able to perform a tenant-scoped deployment was already available at least from SPFx 1.2 (august - sept 2017). https://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2017/09/manage-tenant-scoped-spfx-extensions.html
My question is if this property will work in SP 2019.
What I want is to provision site collections and be able to associate extensions without having to manually add the solution to the site collection.
Do you know how (or with whom to speak) to get an official response?
It would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

- Ey Olivier,
What I think is that you would be able to deploy your SPFx Artifacts in the App Catalogue (you can have one per web application) and then from there they should provide tools (I guess PnP / the ALM API are going to be the answers here) to automate the installation of the artifacts per site collection basics
