Sharepoint Online App Part development

Question

Hi, everyone.

I am an experienced developer but completely new to Sharepoint Online development. Could anyone help me out with some to-the-point resources I could have a look at to get started and rapidly solve my current problem?

I have developed some Azure Functions that return JSON-data to the caller. I am planning on using Azure API Management to expose the functions, which will have to be secured by my organizations Azure AD to only allow calling from authenticated users. The username of the caller is a parameter in the GET to the Azure Functions.

The data is to be presented in an app part/frame on some pages of our corporate Intranet. Probably by a simple table, but more fancy charting may also be desirable.

Would really appreciate any advice on how to get started. My apologies if the terminology of Sharepoint stuff is not correct, hope I still managed to get my use case through.

Best regards,
Chocolate Eater

Hi @Chocolate Eater ,

In ShaerPoint Online, I suggest you can use SharePoint Framework to call Azure Function, you can learn about SharePoint Framework with the official document below for a start:

Overview of the SharePoint Framework

And here are some samples to call Azure Function Data inside SharePoint Framework solution:
