How to implement web parts from GitHub
Hi,
I was looking for a facebook web part. I found it on a site github.com (https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts/tree/master/samples). It looks that facebook plugin web part should be useful for me but I am absolutely beginner in this area and I have not found a way how to implement the web part to our tenant. I have just found an instruction how to deploy sppkg through App catalog but I have not find this type of file on the link in the facebook web part folder. How to generate it? Is there a really easy description what to do step-by-step for beginners? There is really a lot of web parts which should be useful.
Thank you for your tips,
Mirek 🙂

Mirek_N SharePoint Development can have a steep learning curve. Before implementing any solution, I suggest taking the time to learn how to develop in SharePoint first.
Follow through the documentation and learn how to set up and build some web parts. Once you do that, you'll have an understanding of how to implement that Facebook web part.

If you need more training, there are lots of tutorials on Pluralsight/Youtube, and a lot of great blog resources out there. Further more, if you think you are to start developing, checkout https://www.voitanos.io/ for some formal SPFx training.Hi Beau Cameron,
thank you for your answer but the development is that thing what I would like to avoid. I am not a developer and I won't be. I have just found an useful features from developers and if I understand it right, they are free for use. So from end users point of view I would like to be able just use these finished web parts with added value for them. It is so hard to deploy them?
Thank you,
Mirek
- Correct, they are free to use but if you don't want to ask a developer how to do it, you will need at least to know how to package the provided WebParts so you can upload them to the App Catalogue and use in your sites
