Abstract

When building custom solutions using JavaScript, very often you need help from other libraries to accomplish your efforts. We’ve already seen the power of the jQuery library and how it can help locate HTML elements on our page, update their values, and even make AJAX calls for data. When working with SharePoint, you often need to build URLs, show notifications to users, and more. Luckily, Microsoft provides an enormous amount of JavaScript to assist you with these tasks. I’m not simply talking about the JavaScript Object Model or the REST API. In this chapter, we’ll explore some of the built-in JavaScript functions and properties that are readily available to help you build your custom solutions.
