MicrosoftHave you seen the updates to SharePoint Framework?
Sliced bread has nothing on the offline-capable SharePoint Workbench. You don't need to stand up a dev/test environment or a playground online tenant.
This is a very exciting move. I have downloaded tool need to start working with this framework.
But the problem i am facing now is when i browse to workbench.aspx from my tenant it gives me following error
"The Requested operation is part of an experiment feature that is not supported in the current environment"
Hi Kunal
This is becuase you are not using a SharePoint Online Development Tenancy (Not Site Collection).
You need to sign up for a development tenancy.

I'm liking what I've seen so far but I'm guessing that since it runs entirely on the client side within the SharePoint context we are restricted to using Office 365 assets?
If external data access to SQL is needed would the provider hosted SharePoint Add-In be the recommended approach going forward?
- If you expose your SQL throught a REST service, you could then work with your SQL Data. If that it's not possible, you have to rely on Provider-Hosted Add-ins.
I can imagine the authentication side of that getting complicated but I'll see what I can find. Now I've seen the new framework I don't want to go back to using iframes!
