I need to store site setting for new type of SharePoint extensions (spfx, .sppkg file). Are there any special approach to do this? Here is what I need to store:

  1. Store settings that user can not see and edit. For example some
    configuration options for internal usage and a license ID or license file.
  2. Store settings that user can edit (typically SharePoint site administrator or a person that installed the Extension).

1) To store such settings, would suggest that you make use of SharePoint Tenant properties. They allow you store key/value data and since they are tenant properties, they are available to be used across the site collections.

These can set by SharePoint admins only using PS command as:

Set-SPOStorageEntity -Key "LicenseId" -Value "0000-0000-0000-0000" 
-Description "License for a specific purpose"

2) To store a setting that a user can edit, would suggest that you keep it simple and create a custom list with necessary columns and break the inheritance of that list to ensure that only a particular set of user's can modify its data.

  • My understanding that storing in SharePoint Tenant properties works for the old type of Add-ins only. It does not work for new type Extensions.

  • It works for both:) . You can use in the old addin model as well as spfx. Think of it as property bag, but just that its available globally across site collections
