Getting starting with @pnp/sp and react: Help!
Hi,
I want to begin developing web parts with SPFx + React + Pnp but I can't find samples using this tools together.
I found this page that show how to use Pnp: https://github.com/pnp/pnpjs/blob/dev/packages/sp/docs/index.md and as you can see its focus in just Pnp.
Then I found this one showing how to get list items using Pnp: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts/blob/master/samples/sharepoint-crud/src/webparts/pnpjsCrud/PnpjsCrudWebPart.ts but is not using React at all.
So I decided to give it a try and try to start learning by doing, but right after 10 mins. I got stuck.
I created a SPFx with React framework and installed the @pnp/sp. Then in an onInit() method I set the context (in the root webpart.ts):
public onInit(): Promise<void> {
return super.onInit().then(_=> {
sp.setup({
spfxContext: this.context
});
});
}
public render(): void {
const element: React.ReactElement<IReadReactProps > = React.createElement(
ReadReact,
{
description: this.properties.description,
pageContext: this.context.pageContext
}
);
ReactDom.render(element, this.domElement);
}
But now I don't fin the way to pass the context prop to my component.
I don't even know if the right way to use pnp.
Has anyone a simple sample using SPFx + React + @pnp/sp to get me in the right path? or a link with a sample?
Best regards

- Hi Americo,

I have a repository that I used for presentations that is using PnPjs on a very basic way, without a data service architecture which is what I use for production code.
Check out the "final" folder for a working version of the code.
Alternatively, you can follow the instructions on the readme file :)
For more detailed samples, check out the PnP web part samples repository. It contains amazing samples!
Hope it helps.
