I have a SharePoint SPFx react webapp that I'm working on. I'm trying to get the SharePoint URL. For example:

https://mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/SitePages/Home.aspx#/

So I want to get https://mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename

I've tried using references from here: Get Site Collection full URL using javascript and spfx-how-use-site-url-from-current-page-context-in-react-spfx-solution

The issue I'm having is I'm using the older sp-pnp-js library so all the examples I found online reference the newer pnpJS library.

So this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl and spHttpClient do not work with the older sp-pnp-js library

You can use this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl with the older sp-pnp-js library.

I have used something similar to below and it works in our tenant.

import { sp, Web } from 'sp-pnp-js';
const web = new Web(this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl);
web.lists.getByTitle('list name').items.getById(1250).select('Title').get();

  • When I used that, I get a 'context' is deprecated error and the page fails. did this in my componentDidMount and then console.log(web)

  • How are you passing the content object to the component being rendered, i do something similar to this. const element: React.ReactElement<IFormProps > = React.createElement( Form, { context: this.context } )

  • Also if you are using the old interface IWebPartContext that would be why you are getting that error as it is deprecated. There is a newer interface WebPartContext. In my case my webpart props looks like this export interface IFormWebPartProps { description: string; listName: string; context: WebPartContext; }
