Automating SharePoint Framework Environment Setup: A Dynamic Installation Script
If you’ve been working with SharePoint Framework (SPFx) for any length of time, you know the drill: look up the Node.js version compatibility, install the right LTS version, manually install Yeoman, the SPFx generator, and the correct task runner (Gulp or Heft, depending on the version). For modern SPFx versions, this might take 5 minutes if you know what you’re doing. For older versions or platform-specific deployments like SharePoint 2019 or Subscription Edition? Much longer.
What if I told you there’s a way to do all of this in under a minute, completely automated, for any SPFx version—past, present, or future?
