Did you ever find any answers on this? I'm namely looking for a peoplepicker control using the Office-UI-Fabric-React components but am not quite getting it to load anything.

    hi,,

    the,only 'answer' i found is that they are thinking of open sourcing some of the code after they go live.  it's kind of ridiculous that you,me,  and everyone else, would need to implement their  own peoplepicker.

     

    we should start a uservoice on this after spfx gets released.

      Are you specifically asking in the property pane or within the web part UX?

       

      For property pane, we already have a series of controls in the road map. For web part UX, you can import the Fabric components and load your data based on your business logic in the web part. 

       

      That said, please submit your suggestion to the SPFx uservoice as well.

       

      Thanks,

        I would like to be able to re-use the people picker and taxonomy picker used in modern lists in my SPFx UI without having to code it myself. You already have field renderers for all SP types, and being able to re-use those would be great.
