An upcoming holidays web part for SharePoint
A small list of the next public holidays is a nice touch on an intranet, and it earns its place when your teams are in different countries. Here is a web part for it.
It reads a SharePoint list. The holiday name is the Title, the date is a date column named HolidayDate, and an optional text column named Region shows a small tag like US or IN or Global. Only holidays from today onward are shown. The Provision-IntranetLists.ps1 script creates the Holidays list.
In the property pane you point it at the list and set how many holidays to show. The region tag helps people see which holidays apply to them.
The Upcoming Holidays web part is part of my open source SPFx Intranet Suite, a set of web parts for a modern SharePoint intranet. Install the package once and it shows up in the toolbox under Intranet Suite.
