From the time SharePoint Framework was launched, it opened new ways for SharePoint Developers to build and deploy modern web parts across Office 365 tenants. SharePoint Framework availability enabled the users to build mobile-friendly, intuitive web parts using latest web developer tools.

Overview

To build on this momentum and with an idea to extend the SharePoint user experience, Microsoft added a new capability in form of SharePoint Framework (SPFx) extensions. Using SPFx extensions, you can extend SharePoint user experience areas within modern pages and document libraries, which include notification areas, toolbars and menus, and presentation of lists. Moreover, it leverages support of new GraphHttpClient object.

Below are the extension types that SharePoint Framework contains:

Application Customizers Embeds visible or hidden scripts on a page, and uses predefined HTML element placeholders and extends them with customized renderings.

Scope: Site collection, site or list Field Customizers Provides customized views to data within list fields

It can be used to override field view in a list.

It can be used with site columns or directly on the list columns. Command Sets Allows to extend SharePoint command surfaces, adding new actions with client-side scripts that can be used to implement behaviors.

Provides action buttons to a list.

Toolbar and context menu supportive.

In addition to plain JavaScript, you can develop extensions alongside common scripting frameworks, such as AngularJS and ReactJS. For an instance, you can use Office UI Fabric React components to create experiences based on the same components used in Office 365.

SharePoint Framework extensions currently do not support classic list and library views. They only work for modern team sites.

Tenant Wide Deployment

“Application customizers” and “List View Command Sets” support Tenant Wide Deployment for SharePoint Framework Extensions. It gives an opportunity to App Catalog managers to specify which extensions to activate across the tenant by default or depending on web/list templates in the sites.

Build your first extension

SharePoint Framework (SPFx) Extensions are basically client-side components that run inside SharePoint page context. You can build extensions using modern JavaScript tools and libraries and deploy extensions to SharePoint Online.

Create an extension project

Run Windows Powershell as administrator and create a new project directory named “app-extension” in your preferred location using below command.

md app-extension

Move to the newly created project directory using below command.

cd app-extension

Create a new AppCustomizer extension by running below command in console

yo @microsoft/sharepoint

Provide required information when prompted:

Keep the default app-extension for “What is your solution name?” and select Enter.

for “What is your solution name?” and select Enter. Keep SharePoint Online only (latest) for “Which baseline packages do you want to target for your component(s)?” and select Enter.

for “Which baseline packages do you want to target for your component(s)?” and select Enter. Keep Use the current folder for “Where do you want to place the files?” and select Enter.

for “Where do you want to place the files?” and select Enter. Select No (N) to require tenant admin install extension on each site and press Enter. Here, make sure you select No (N). If you choose Yes (y) , Elements.xml feature deployment file will not be generated through scaffolding.

to require tenant admin install extension on each site and press Enter. Here, make sure you select No (N). If you choose , Elements.xml feature deployment file will not be generated through scaffolding. Choose Extension for “Which type of client-side component to create?” (Use arrow keys)

for “Which type of client-side component to create?” (Use arrow keys) Select Application Customizer as extension type from the list of available options.

As soon as you select Application Customizer, next group of prompts asks for information regarding your extension.

Add AppCustomizer as your extension name, and press Enter.

as your extension name, and press Enter. Keep the default AppCustomizer description for “What is your Application Customizer description?” and select Enter.

Note: You might encounter some issues if your extension name is too long. The name entries generates an alias for App Customizer manifest file. In case where alias passes 40 characters, it will throw an exception when you try to run gulp serve –nobrowser command. It can be resolved by updating the alias entry later on.

At this moment, Yeoman installs the needed dependencies and scaffolds the solution files along with the AppCustomizer extension. This may take some time.

When scaffolding is done, you will be indicated a successful scaffold message.

To start Visual Studio Code, type the following command

code .

Observe how the default structure of the solution looks like that for client-side web parts.

Open AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.manifest.json in the src\extensions\appCustomizer folder.

This file contains extension type and a unique id for your extension.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.manifest.json

{ "$schema" : "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/spfx/client-side-extension-manifest .schema.json" , "id" : "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a" , "alias" : "AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer" , "componentType" : "Extension" , "extensionType" : "ApplicationCustomizer" , "version" : "*" , "manifestVersion" : 2 , "requiresCustomScript" : false } { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/spfx/client-side-extension-manifest .schema.json", "id": "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a", "alias": "AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer", "componentType": "Extension", "extensionType": "ApplicationCustomizer", "version": "*", "manifestVersion": 2, "requiresCustomScript": false }

Application Customizer Code

Open the AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts file in the src\extensions\appCustomizer folder.

It imports the base class BaseApplicationCustomizer for the App Customizer from sp-application-base package which contains SharePoint framework code.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

import { override } from '@microsoft/decorators' ; import { Log } from '@microsoft/sp-core-library' ; import { BaseApplicationCustomizer } from '@microsoft/sp-application-base' ; import { Dialog } from '@microsoft/sp-dialog' ; import { override } from '@microsoft/decorators'; import { Log } from '@microsoft/sp-core-library'; import { BaseApplicationCustomizer } from '@microsoft/sp-application-base'; import { Dialog } from '@microsoft/sp-dialog';

onInit method contains the logic for your Application Customizer, which is

called when the extension is first activated.

Below is the default solution having contents of onInit() method.

It writes a log and displays an alert when the page is loaded.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

@ override public async onInit ( ) : Promise { Log. info ( LOG_SOURCE , `Initialized $ { strings. Title } ` ) ; let message : string = this . properties . testMessage ; if ( ! message ) { message = '(No properties were provided.)' ; } Dialog. alert ( `Hello from $ ( strings. Title ) :



$ { message } ` ) ; return Promise. resolve ( ) ; } @override public async onInit(): Promise { Log.info(LOG_SOURCE, `Initialized ${strings.Title}`); let message: string = this.properties.testMessage; if(!message){ message = '(No properties were provided.)'; } Dialog.alert(`Hello from $(strings.Title):



${message}`); return Promise.resolve(); }

Debug Application Customizer

Local Workbench cannot be used to test SharePoint Framework Extensions. You can test extension using SharePoint Online site. However, you do not need to deploy your customization to the site.

Open up serve.json file from inside the config folder. This file has been modified based on your project default settings. You can observe that customActions element mentions a unique GUID.

When project is scaffold, it is automatically updated. Whenever you require to add new components or modify specific properties, you will need to edit this file for testing purpose. Edit pageURL for your tenant, which you need to utilize for testing. You can use your preferred page URL having modern experience

For example – A welcome page or custom page of a modern team site or a publishing site, something like below URL:

https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx

Note: In case of a custom page, a modern site page with above URL should have been created in your site.

Below is updated serve.json file containing your tenant details:

serve.json

{ "$schema" : "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/core-build/serve.schema.json" , "port" : 4321 , "https" : true , "serveConfigurations" : { "default" : { "pageUrl" : "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx" , "customActions" : { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a" : { "location" : "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer" , "properties" : { "testMessage" : "Test message" } } } } , "appCustomizer" : { "pageUrl" : " https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx " , "customActions" : { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a" : { "location" : "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer" , "properties" : { "testMessage" : "Test message" } } } } } } { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/core-build/serve.schema.json", "port": 4321, "https": true, "serveConfigurations": { "default": { "pageUrl": "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx", "customActions": { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a": { "location": "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer", "properties": { "testMessage": "Test message" } } } }, "appCustomizer": { "pageUrl": " https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx ", "customActions": { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a": { "location": "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer", "properties": { "testMessage": "Test message" } } } } } }

In your console, make sure that you are still in the app-extension directory. Enter below command:

gulp trust-dev-cert

Note: Above command need to be executed ONLY once in your development environment. Skip this step if you have already installed certificate in your environment by executing this command.

Run below command to compile your code from your local computer/virtual machine:

gulp serve

Note: Stop the compilation running currently by executing Ctrl + C command in the console if Workbench notifies that you, being a SharePoint developer, do not have SPFx developer certificate installed and you cannot load scripts from localhost. Execute gulp serve –nobrowser command in the app-extension directory again.

When code compilation is completed without any issues, it opens the resulting manifest from https://localhost:4321 in your default browser with required query parameters.

Navigate to your default browser and click Load debug scripts to proceed loading scripts from your local host.

Below dialog message will now appear on your page.

SharePoint Framework Extension throws the above dialog. textMessage property was provided as part of the query parameters and that is why it is included in the alert. You can specify your own extension instances which are part of query parameters at runtime.

Note: In case of any errors, verify the pageUrl setting in the server.json file.

You successfully got your first SharePoint Framework Extension up and running!

You will use the same project directory and utilize content placeholders for customizing the UI of SharePoint. Note that gulp serve command is currently running.

In your console window or in your editor, notice that the gulp serve command is still running. You can let it run for now.

Use Page Placeholders from Application Customizer

Application Customizers provide access to SharePoint page components that you can customize based on your business needs. For an instance, you can use SharePoint Framework application customizer to render a custom header and footer experience on all SharePoint Online modern pages.

This model complements SharePoint Hosted add-in that includes a UserCustomAction collection to render custom header and footer through JavaScript and configuration interface. The key difference here is that SharePoint Framework (SPFx) Extensions won’t change your page elements even if HTML/DOM structure is changed.

Get access to page placeholders

You can specify the scope (Site, Web or List) to decide where to register Application Customizer in your tenant.

To get access to the placeholder, use below method.

Get access to the placeholder

// Handling the Bottom placeholder if ( ! this ._bottomPlaceholder ) { this ._bottomPlaceholder = this . context . placeholderProvider . tryCreateContent ( PlaceholderName. Bottom , { onDispose : this ._onDispose } ) ; ... } // Handling the Bottom placeholder if (!this._bottomPlaceholder) { this._bottomPlaceholder = this.context.placeholderProvider.tryCreateContent( PlaceholderName.Bottom, { onDispose: this._onDispose }); ... }

You have full access over what to render to the user once you fetch the placeholder object.

Here you are accessing a familiar placeholder by using respective identifier i.e. the code accesses footer inside the page using Bottom identifier.

Modify Application Customizer to access and modify placeholders

You will need to install @microsoft/sp-office-ui-fabric-core to render placeholders on the page by importing styles from SPFabricCore.scss.

Run Windows Powershell as administrator and enter the following command for your extension location to install @microsoft/sp-office-ui-fabric-core:

npm install @microsoft/sp-office-ui-fabric-core

Upload required image for header which you would like to use in Site Assets library (or any other location). Keep a note of the image location URL which you will later.

https://domain-name/sites/dev/SiteAssets/logo.png

Under the src\extensions\appCustomizer folder, create a new file AppCustomizer.module.scss as shown below.

Update AppCustomizer.module.scss with styles used in the HTML output for image as well as header and footer placeholders:

AppCustomizer.module.scss

. app { . top { text - align : center ; line - height : 2.5 ; font - weight : bold ; display : flex ; align - items : top ; justify - content : top ; background - color : #3a3c3f ; color : $ms - color - white ; padding : 10px ; IMG { max - width : 100 %; height : auto ; } } . bottom { height : 40px ; text - align : center ; line - height : 2.5 ; font - weight : bold ; display : flex ; align - items : center ; justify - content : center ; background : # 111111 ; color : $ms - color - white ; } } .app { .top { text-align:center; line-height:2.5; font-weight:bold; display: flex; align-items: top; justify-content: top; background-color: #3a3c3f; color: $ms-color-white; padding: 10px; IMG { max-width: 100%; height: auto; } } .bottom { height:40px; text-align:center; line-height:2.5; font-weight:bold; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; background: #111111; color: $ms-color-white; } }

Open src\extensions\appCustomizer\AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts in your code editor. Import PlaceholderContent and PlaceholderName from @microsoft/sp-application-base library by adding below lines:

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

import { BaseApplicationCustomizer , PlaceholderContent , PlaceholderName } from '@microsoft/sp-application-base' ; import { BaseApplicationCustomizer, PlaceholderContent, PlaceholderName } from '@microsoft/sp-application-base';

After strings import at the top, add below import statements.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

import * as strings from 'AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizerStrings' ; import styles from './AppCustomizer.module.scss' ; import { escape } from '@microsoft/sp-lodash-subset' ; import * as strings from 'AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizerStrings'; import styles from './AppCustomizer.module.scss'; import { escape } from '@microsoft/sp-lodash-subset';

You use escape to escape App Customizer properties. You’ll define styles for the render in the following steps. Modify IAppCustomizerApplicationCustomizerProperties interface to add required properties for Header, Logo and Footer in AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts file, as follows.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

export interface IAppCustomizerApplicationCustomizerProperties { // This is an example; replace with your own property Top : string ; Bottom : string ; Logo : string ; } export interface IAppCustomizerApplicationCustomizerProperties { // This is an example; replace with your own property Top: string; Bottom: string; Logo: string; }

Note: If your Command Set uses the ClientSideComponentProperties JSON input, it is deserialized into the BaseExtension.properties object. You can define an interface to describe it.

In the AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer class, add below private variables. In this case, variables can be defined locally in onRender method, though if you require to share them with other objects, define the variables as private.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

/** A Custom Action which can be run during execution of a Client Side Application */ export default class AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer extends BaseApplicationCustomizer { // These have been added private _topPlaceholder : PlaceholderContent | undefined ; private _bottomPlaceholder : PlaceholderContent | undefined ; /** A Custom Action which can be run during execution of a Client Side Application */ export default class AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer extends BaseApplicationCustomizer { // These have been added private _topPlaceholder: PlaceholderContent | undefined; private _bottomPlaceholder: PlaceholderContent | undefined;

Modify onInit method as shown below:

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

private _renderPlaceHolders ( ) : void { console. log ( "HelloWorldApplicationCustomizer._renderPlaceHolders()" ) ; console. log ( "Available placeholders: " , this . context . placeholderProvider . placeholderNames . map ( name => PlaceholderName [ name ] ) . join ( ", " ) ) ; // Handling the top placeholder if ( ! this ._topPlaceholder ) { this ._topPlaceholder = this . context . placeholderProvider . tryCreateContent ( PlaceholderName. Top , { onDispose : this ._onDispose } ) ; // The extension should not assume that the expected placeholder is available. if ( ! this ._topPlaceholder ) { console. error ( "The expected placeholder (Top) was not found." ) ; return ; } if ( this . properties ) { let topString : string = this . properties . Top ; if ( ! topString ) { topString = "(Top property was not defined.)" ; } if ( this ._topPlaceholder. domElement ) { this ._topPlaceholder. domElement . innerHTML = ` < div class = "${styles.app}" > < div class = "ms-bgColor-themeDark ms-fontColor-white ${styles.top}" > < div > < a href = "${this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}" > < img src = "${escape(logoString)}" alt = "${escape(topString)}" /> </ a > </ div > < div > </ div > ` ; } } } // Handling the bottom placeholder if ( ! this ._bottomPlaceholder ) { this ._bottomPlaceholder = this . context . placeholderProvider . tryCreateContent ( PlaceholderName. Bottom , { onDispose : this ._onDispose } ) ; // The extension should not assume that the expected placeholder is available. if ( ! this ._bottomPlaceholder ) { console. error ( "The expected placeholder (Bottom) was not found." ) ; return ; } if ( this . properties ) { let bottomString : string = this . properties . Bottom ; if ( ! bottomString ) { bottomString = "(Bottom property was not defined.)" ; } if ( this ._bottomPlaceholder. domElement ) { this ._bottomPlaceholder. domElement . innerHTML = ` < div class = "${styles.app}" > < div class = "${styles.bottom}" > < i class = "ms-Icon ms-Icon--Info" aria - hidden = "true" ></ i > $ { escape ( bottomString ) } </ div > </ div > ` ; } } } } private _renderPlaceHolders(): void { console.log("HelloWorldApplicationCustomizer._renderPlaceHolders()"); console.log( "Available placeholders: ", this.context.placeholderProvider.placeholderNames .map(name => PlaceholderName[name]) .join(", ") ); // Handling the top placeholder if (!this._topPlaceholder) { this._topPlaceholder = this.context.placeholderProvider.tryCreateContent( PlaceholderName.Top, { onDispose: this._onDispose } ); // The extension should not assume that the expected placeholder is available. if (!this._topPlaceholder) { console.error("The expected placeholder (Top) was not found."); return; } if (this.properties) { let topString: string = this.properties.Top; if (!topString) { topString = "(Top property was not defined.)"; } if (this._topPlaceholder.domElement) { this._topPlaceholder.domElement.innerHTML = ` <div class="${styles.app}"> <div class="ms-bgColor-themeDark ms-fontColor-white ${styles.top}"> <div> <a href="${this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}"> <img src="${escape(logoString)}" alt="${escape(topString)}" /> </a> </div> <div> </div>`; } } } // Handling the bottom placeholder if (!this._bottomPlaceholder) { this._bottomPlaceholder = this.context.placeholderProvider.tryCreateContent( PlaceholderName.Bottom, { onDispose: this._onDispose } ); // The extension should not assume that the expected placeholder is available. if (!this._bottomPlaceholder) { console.error("The expected placeholder (Bottom) was not found."); return; } if (this.properties) { let bottomString: string = this.properties.Bottom; if (!bottomString) { bottomString = "(Bottom property was not defined.)"; } if (this._bottomPlaceholder.domElement) { this._bottomPlaceholder.domElement.innerHTML = ` <div class="${styles.app}"> <div class="${styles.bottom}"> <i class="ms-Icon ms-Icon--Info" aria-hidden="true"></i> ${escape( bottomString )} </div> </div>`; } } } }

You will need to create _renderPlaceHolders private method and add below code inside it: Add _onDispose method as shown below after completion of _renderPlaceHolders method. You can output below console message on removal of extension from the page.

AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer.ts

private _onDispose ( ) : void { console. log ( '[AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer._onDispose] Disposed custom top and bottom placeholders.' ) ; } private _onDispose(): void { console.log('[AppCustomizerApplicationCustomizer._onDispose] Disposed custom top and bottom placeholders.'); }

You are ]now able to test the customizer in SharePoint Online.

Test Your Code

Navigate to serve.json file inside the config folder and adjust the settings as we defined three new properties for the extension. Modify properties section to include Top, Bottom and Logo messages.

serve.json

{ "$schema" : "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/core-build/serve.schema.json" , "port" : 4321 , "https" : true , "serveConfigurations" : { "default" : { "pageUrl" : "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx" , "customActions" : { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a" : { "location" : "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer" , "properties" : { "Top" : "TatvaSoft" , "Bottom" : "© TatvaSoft 2018 | Privacy Policy" , "Logo" : "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SiteAssets/TatvaSoft-Software-Development-Company.png" } } } } , "appCustomizer" : { "pageUrl" : "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx" , "customActions" : { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a" : { "location" : "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer" , "properties" : { "Top" : "TatvaSoft" , "Bottom" : "© TatvaSoft 2018 | Privacy Policy" , "Logo" : "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SiteAssets/TatvaSoft-Software-Development-Company.png" } } } } } } { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/core-build/serve.schema.json", "port": 4321, "https": true, "serveConfigurations": { "default": { "pageUrl": "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx", "customActions": { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a": { "location": "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer", "properties": { "Top":"TatvaSoft", "Bottom":"© TatvaSoft 2018 | Privacy Policy", "Logo":"https://domain-name/sites/dev/SiteAssets/TatvaSoft-Software-Development-Company.png" } } } }, "appCustomizer": { "pageUrl": "https://domain-name/sites/dev/SitePages/AppCustomizer.aspx", "customActions": { "1cbcb2bd-1739-40d3-a250-e56615e3409a": { "location": "ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer", "properties": { "Top":"TatvaSoft", "Bottom":"© TatvaSoft 2018 | Privacy Policy", "Logo":"https://domain-name/sites/dev/SiteAssets/TatvaSoft-Software-Development-Company.png" } } } } } }

Check for any errors in the console window that is executing gulp serve. If gulp reports any error, you need to fix the issues before proceeding further. Restart the solution if already running to apply updated changes inside serve.json file.

gulp serve

To continue loading scripts from localhost, click Load debug scripts.

You will now see custom header (with logo) and footer content.

Using Application Customizer, you have successfully built your own custom header and footer!

Follow below steps to continue building extension and deploy, and preview App Customizer extension without using Debug query parameters in SharePoint site collection.

Deploy your extension to SharePoint

SharePoint Framework extensions can be deployed and activated on SharePoint d in a few different ways. It depends on your business needs in order to select the right model.

Activation of feature on specific site when solution is installed. It supports site placeholders and assets getting created and deployed through feature activation.

Deploy the extension to SharePoint Online

You can now deploy the solution to the SharePoint site.

Execute below command to package solution to get basic structure ready for packaging: gulp bundle

Run below Command to create solution package: gulp package-solution Above command creates a package named app-extension.sppkg in sharepoint > solution folder.

To deploy the package, navigate to app catalog and open the Apps for SharePoint library.

and open the library. Upload/drag and drop the app-extension.sppkg to Apps for SharePoint library inside App Catalog.

SharePoint displays a dialog and asks you to trust the client-side solution. Click Deploy button.

From the console, execute below command in the solution folder: gulp serve –nobrowser

Navigate to the site collection where you deployed the extension.

Click the Settings gear from right hand side, and then select Add an app.

Enter app inside the search box to filter your apps.

inside the search box to filter your apps. Choose the app-extension-client-side-solution app from list of available options to install the solution. Refresh the page when the installation is done.

When the application has been successfully installed, you can see the header and footer being rendered just like with the debug query parameters. You have successfully deployed extension to a modern SharePoint page using app catalog! You can deploy and load the extension assets from Office CDN instead of localhost.

Top navigation from managed metadata using SharePoint Framework

Below is an example where you can use managed metadata to derive global navigation terms within SharePoint Framework extension.

Stop the compilation running in console by executing Ctrl + C command.

Open app-extension solution inside Visual Studio Code (or one of your preferred editors). code

Create a services subfolder inside src/extensions/appCustomizer folder.

Create a file named SPTermStoreService.ts inside newly created services folder.

Copy code inside SPTermStoreService.ts file from below link: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-extensions/blob/master/samples/react-application-tenant-global-navbar/src/extensions/tenantGlobalNavBar/services/SPTermStoreService.ts It is used to connect to SharePoint web service (client.svc) and get term set from managed term store.

Create a new components subfolder inside src/extensions/appCustomizer folder.

Create below specified new files inside components folder: GlobalNavBar.tsx – This file contains method to render the Global Navigation bar. IGlobalNavBarProps.ts – This file defines interface for properties to be used. It is used to fetch term objects from SharePoint term store (through SPTermStoreService.ts file). IGlobalNavBarState.ts – It defines state of the navigation bar.
