I'm following the SPFx Getting started guide for web parts and I'm at part 4.

In the note at the top of the page, there is mention of hosting from a SharePoint Library from your tenant (immediately after the "Azure CDN" link), but there is no reference of how to do this. Are there any guides out there that I could follow to try this method?

  • I guess there's not a way to do this without needing to be an admin and enable the CDN settings?

While CDNs are good for performance, you dont need to necessarily enable them just to use SPFx webparts.

Just modify the Config > write-manifests.json and add your SharePoint location as below:

{
  "$schema": "https://dev.office.com/json-schemas/spfx-build/write-manifests.schema.json",
  "cdnBasePath": "https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/test/SiteAssets/"
}

Upload your artefacts in the Site Assets or any other document library.

After that, run the gulp bundle --ship and gulp package-solution --ship and follow the instructions mentioned in the link that you shared and upload the app in app catalog.

Using this cdnBasePath you can consume files directly from SharePoint library itself instead of enabling Office 365 CDN or using Azure or another CDN provider.

  • When you say artefacts, do you mean the temp/deploy/ files?

  • (Along with my previous question) I am able to add the app to my site contents, but after if finishes installing am not able to add it to a page. Is this because I didn't upload the correct things to the SiteAssets library? Or is this caused by something else?

  • 1)Yes, temp deploy files. It's the same procedure as mentioned. 2) could be something else. Is it deployed correctly?

  • Try and deploy a simple hello world spfx webpart to test this out. Will help isolate the problem

  • Deploying a hello-world part worked properly. The one thing i noticed was that the deploy file had 3 files in it instead of the 2 that my original part had. I tried gulp clean and rebuilding, but it still only created 2 files.

yes you need to create and configure a azure storage account but need to link it into azure.

so first do this section to setup azure cdn link to create the storage account

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-create-a-storage-account-with-cdn

then follow on with this to setup the link in azure and the spfx webpart to link to the cdn instead

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/deploy-web-part-to-cdn
