SharePoint Online get all items with fields specified by view

I am not sure i am correct or not. There is no /_api/web/lists/GetByTitle(‘your list’)/View/getbytitle(‘your view’)/items restful api for SharePoint online.

Grid in Office UI fabric js

Office UI fabric js library embedded a very old Fabric Core 5.0.1, so the grid example from Fabric Core will not work. All you have to do is change the class from “ms-lg2” to “ms-u-lg2”.

Calling SharePoint authentication.asmx
