SharePoint Framework in 2025: new possibilities for development

When Microsoft introduced the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), the goal was clear: to provide developers with a modern model, based on web technologies, to extend SharePoint Online without relying on server-side solutions.
Today, in 2025, SPFx has become the de facto standard for building web parts, extensions, and integrated applications not only in SharePoint but also in Microsoft Teams and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
In this article, we will explore the main new features, the best development practices, and the value that SPFx brings to companies looking for a modern, accessible, and integrated intranet.

Why SPFx Remains Central
Many wonder: with Copilot and the new integrated AIs, does it still make sense to develop in SPFx?

With SPFx you can:
- Create custom dashboards for specific departments.
- Integrate data from ERP/CRM directly into SharePoint.
- Build widgets for Teams that leverage the same libraries.
- Apply branding and business logic without sacrificing updates and cloud compatibility.
