Hi @lee sharepoint ,

If you are new to SPFx and started learning it, my suggestion is to use the PnP JS, the more convenient way to work with SharePoint list, libraries, user profile, taxonomy etc..

private GetLists():Promise<any>{
    return sp.web.lists.filter(‘Hidden eq false’).get().then((data) =>{
      console.log(“Total number of
lists are “ + data.length);
      return data;
    });
