Resources and guidance for creating UX components in SharePoint Add-ins

Article Description
Use a SharePoint website's style sheet in SharePoint Add-ins You can reference the style sheet of a SharePoint website in your SharePoint Add-in and use it to style your webpages by using the style sheet in SharePoint. In addition, if someone changes the SharePoint website's style sheet or theme, you can adopt the new set of styles in your add-in without modifying the style sheet reference in your add-in.
Use the client chrome control in SharePoint Add-ins The chrome control in SharePoint enables you to use the header styling of a specific SharePoint site in your add-in without needing to register a server library or use a specific technology or tool. To use this functionality, you must register a SharePoint JavaScript library through a standard <script> tag. You can provide a placeholder by using an HTML div element and further customize the control by using the available options. The control inherits its appearance from the specified SharePoint website.
Create add-in parts to install with your SharePoint Add-in With add-in parts, you can show your add-in user experience right in the host web. An add-in part displays your add-in content using an IFrame. End users can customize the experience using the custom properties that you can provide for your add-in part. The add-in webpage receives the custom property values through parameters in the query string.
Create custom actions to deploy with SharePoint Add-ins When you are creating a SharePoint Add-in, custom actions let you interact with the lists and the ribbon in the host web.

Two types of custom actions are available for add-ins: Ribbon and Edit Control Block.
Customize a list view in SharePoint Add-ins using client-side rendering Client-side rendering provides a mechanism that you can use to produce your own output for a set of controls that are hosted on a SharePoint page.

In client-side rendering, you can specify your own JavaScript resources and host them in the data storage options available to your add-ins, such as a document library.
