TEAMS DIRECTORY using SPFx & MS Graph

An SPFx take on a list of teams, which can be used as a Teams app.

Published on 6/5/2019

The other day I came across an interesting post on teams directory and deeplinking see original post here and a tweet discussing different approaches for the same or similar use cases was posted- Tweet link.

I knew this was something I can do as a webpart using SPFx and MS Graph which is a completely different approach from the scripting approach in the post. They both serve the same solution to a common requirement and it was fun to have a developer's take on the requirement.

I took the liberty of the long weekend here in Queensland and started off with the webpart for demonstrating the approach.

The SPFX webpart which can also be a Teams Tab, will list out all the teams in a tenant. It will also hint the user if he is already part of the Team or not. If he is not a part of the Team, then he will get a link to join the team.

In Teams

In SharePoint

This webpart can be used in SharePoint sites as well as uploaded as an app in Teams via side loading
