Using SPFX to list the Project Documents

I am new to developing for SharePoint and trying to find the documentation to make a web part to list the project documents. I found documentation and videos for bringing in the project information:

 .get(`${this.props.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Projects')/Items?$expand=ProjectManager&$select=*,ProjectManager,ProjectManager/EMail,ProjectManager/Title`,

And can filter the list of projects with this:

 .get(`${this.props.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Projects')/Items?$expand=ProjectManager&$select=*,ProjectManager,ProjectManager/EMail,ProjectManager/Title&$filter=Title eq %27${filterVal}%27`,

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

yes, in SPFx you should use SP REST API for fetching list of documents from doclibs - like shown in your example. But what is actual question?

Hello @sadomovalex

In the examples shown only displays the projects and I want the files associated to the projects.

Here is a few examples of what I have:

What I am looking to do is bring in these projects documents instead of this information.

Hi @AaronMina-3569,

They are two lists. And you only get the items in the Projects list. You also need to get the items from Project Documents list.

In the list Project Documents, the Project column looks like a lookup field. So it 'svalue should be the id in Projects list

The process would be like this: First get the items in Project Documents, and in eachitem use the Project cloumn value to get the specfic item in Projects list.

Hello @MichaelHan-MSFT

That is what I have been looking to do. I just can't find out how to get the project documents list. I've looked through the documentation on Microsoft and other places and haven't found which API calls to make or if there is additional setup within the props and state files to be able to accept it.

Can you give me an example or direct me to the API documentation to be able to pull this information?

To get items from a list/library, usually we use the below api to achieve this: /_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('List Name')/Items.

So you could try to use the api /_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Project Documents')/Items to get items in project documents, check if it work for you.

@MichaelHan-MSFT

I tried before and it didn't work. Is there any other ways to get the project documents?
