Create Viva Connections extensions using SPFx with Windows and WSL
When it comes to building web applications which heavily rely on platforms like Node.js, a Linux environment is often the best choice. Thanks to the Windows Subsystem for Linux, we don't have to choose anymore or go through the hassle of setting up a virtual machine. We can run a Linux environment right inside our Windows installation. In this post, we'll focus on the experience in setting up WSL properly to build Viva Connections extensions (or any other extension based on SPFx, the SharePoint Framework) so that we can get the best of both worlds: the Windows experience, but the Linux performances when it comes to build and run our project.
