Demos:

1. DataTable web part for rendering data from lists with advance features – this web part provides an easy way to render an interactive SharePoint custom list in DataTable view with many configuration options in the property pane.  Provides all the important table formatting features like: Search & exclude from search, filter, pagination, column selection, column ordering, alternative row formatting, etc.  Export the selected table data to CSV or PDF.  Uses PnPjs, React property controls.

2. Building List Search web part for showing data flexibly from lists or libraries – this React list search web part allows the user to show data that’s pulled from different lists or libraries on multiple sites into a searchable summary list.  Presenter steps through extensive, appropriate configuration options.  Functionally - Select source data - sites, lists and fields, and Set up destination (summary) list columns, formatting, filtering, and on-click dynamic data functionality.  Full documentation with sample.

3. Using a web part to control which Sites have been granted permissions in Azure AD application – the Sites Selected Admin SPFx web part enables Site Collection Admins to check which in scope apps have been added to a SharePoint site, to list Azure AD registered apps using Microsoft Graph API scope, and to add SharePoint sites to the Azure AD listed Apps.  Uses functional components to granularly control apps accessing their SharePoint sites using Microsoft Graph APIs.
