Use SPFx to build custom solutions for Microsoft Teams

How to build custom solutions for Microsoft Teams using SharePoint Framework
Starting with the SharePoint Framework v1.7, you can also implement your Microsoft Teams tabs using SharePoint Framework. This significantly simplifies Teams tab development process as SharePoint Framework web parts are automatically hosted within SharePoint without any need for external services
The first is the ability to create Teams tabs that contain SPFx solutions (web parts). Conceptually it’s quite simple: any SPFx web part you deploy that’s accessible to the SharePoint site that backs a Microsoft Teams team can be added as a custom tab in the team.
Behind the scenes, there’s a special page in SharePoint that loads the web part on the page and the Teams client displays that page. To the end user, it looks like a SPFx web part is running within Microsoft Teams. As a developer, there’s a new microsoftTeams object on the page context API within SPFx that you can leverage to get Teams-specific things.
