I developing web-part client-side solution using sharepoint framework. I successfully create a lists with some columns (it's list's columns not site). But now, I need to create a workflow, so is there any options, how to coding workflows using sharepoint framework and web-part client side solution? Have anybody some ideas or documentations witch could help me to moved further?
Can't create workflow in SPFx solution, you could use SharePoint add-in or Microsoft flow.

We are migrating old SharePoint 2010 On Premise code to SharePoint Online.
Part of the SharePoint 2010 on premise code has custom list forms developed with visual Studio.
Thought of using JSLink for custom forms while migrating the code to SharePoint Online but it seems that JSLink is only supported in classic experience and not in modern new experience.
Is there any way we can develop custom list forms on SharePoint Online with modern new experience? Is it possible with SharePoint Framework?
Note:
Tried by adding forms to list instances on SharePoint Hosted Add In but it targets the AppWeb lists and not the lists on HostWeb.
Well you can use react in modern web part to build any custom form. We can reuse components.
Another option is to use Power Apps similar to info path to design and add validation on list form.

Another option is to use Content Editor webpart and add bootstrap html forms.
I hope it may help u.
Coding in Classic View is the only solution to your query. Once you are done coding in classic, you can switch/migrate to Modern View Experience.
In this way, your form will be visible and lists will also be consumed.
Nope!.. Modern sites are totally different development model So JSLink is not possible but you can use SharePoint framework extension to achieve the customization for the list.
Please follow the link below

I've been hunting all day trying to find some good examples/tutorials on how to pull data into Sharepoint 2013 from CRM 2011. The best thing I have found so far is a SP2010 example, but with VS2012 and SP2013 it seems like so much has changed, and trying to make that tutorial work isn't going well thus far.
I have no experience with SP; with CRM I have used the CrmSvcUtil.exe in the past to generate a class and use that within a .NET app in order to view/update data in CRM. I tried implementing this into my Visual Web Part, but I need to be able to add connection strings to the config file which it doesn't seem are recognized by the web part. I see that I can add a service reference to the CRM Organization service but I'm not sure if/how I can use that to query data. Any help is appreciated, or if anyone could point me in the direction of some good documentation. Thanks!
You have got couple of options.
(1) Use SharePoint 2013 client API.
Consume the client API from your CRM plugin / custom workflow to update the crm data to SharePoint 2013.
(2) Consume SharePoint 2013 webservices from CRM plugin / custom workflow.
I don't think this works in sandbox based solution.
I need to get all the lists used in my site and render theire items. Since i'm not allowed to use code i have to rely on something like xlst. However after several days of searching i haven't come up with a solution yet. Any idea on how to do this?
Alex depending on what you are trying to do using the client object model may work. This allows you to access SharePoint objects without writing code on the server itself. This does require writing some code but usually a farm admin won't mind it since it doesn't affect SharePoint in any way.
The javascript object model may provide you with what you want.
Here is a link that gets all lists in a SharePoint site

Then to get items from a list

You can using *.asmx Sharepoint services SharePoint 2010 Web Services. Example from Visual Studio: Connecting to SharePoint Online Web Services
and
from Sharepoint Designer: Connect to another library in SharePoint Designer 2010
Good luck!
We got an requirement for implementing captial expenditure lotus notes application in sharepoint. It's having nearly five massive forms with all expense calculations and workflows.
What is the suggested approach in sharepoint to implement this?
I would agree that creating a custom ASP.net/SQL server web app would be the way to go if you have some ASP.net programmers available, though I'd recommend against embedding it via a Page Viewer Web Part. You can integrate ASP.net web apps directly in SharePoint, no embedding required.
If you don't have ASP.net programmers available, you can certainly do it in SharePoint and it may not be painful. The key issues are where you need to store your data and how relational the data needs to be. If the requirement is to store data in a relational DB, it becomes complicated to do it in SharePoint.
On the other hand, if you can imagine recreating your application's data as a collection of Excel spreadsheets, then it will be pretty straightforward to do it in SharePoint. In the simplest scenario, you could do all "development" using the SharePoint web interface. You would create a custom list in a SharePoint site for each expense form, then customize the site's default.aspx page to display a link the newform.aspx for each list. If the wokflows are basic notification/approval types, then you can also attach SharePoint built-in workflows to the lists via the web interface.
If you need custom form layouts, custom workflows and dynamic data filtering, then you could use SharePoint Designer to accomplish a great deal of design and development. Without more information about the existing application and workflows, it's impossible to say exactly how you should do it. But make sure you consider what parts of the existing application are requirements and what parts are just legacy functionality. If you can simplify the application, this is a great opportunity to do it.
While you can do it in SharePoint, it will be painful. You may be better off implementing the application as a stock ASP.net/SQL DB application and embedding it into SharePoint with a Page Viewer Web Part.
You can also skin your custom application to look like SharePoint using one of the SharePoint master pages as a template and link to it from your portal.
For added SharePoint integration, you can use Data View Web Parts or the Business Data Catalog (MOSS only) to query your expenditure application database and embed small reports and key performance indicators throughout your portal.
Alternatively to a Custom web app:
Create custom web controls implementing the forms and kicking off the workflows with custom layout pages to host the controls?
A site definition (just feature to add the pages+layouts at a pinch) to host the created pages "just so" in order to rely on "form1.aspx" being available always.
I would not try to "push" OOTB SharePoint functionality envelope to avoid creating custom code. Easier by far to
If you are going to do extensive workflow work in SharePoint be sure to consider buying an add-on like Nintex workflow or Blackpoint. It is almost always worth the expense over creating workflows with Visual Studio or SharePoint designer.
It's not easy to implement a solution for this in SharePoint, but we have a SharePoint App we're releasing in March 2014 which is a great capital expenditure workflow solution. http://budgetworkflow.com
I'm reading Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Workflow Programming.
This book provides some detailed info on how SharePoint works, but not the procedures to create workflow.
I wonder how to create a ASP.NET association form (instead of InfoPath form).
Thanks in advance!

This project provides some templates for creating an assoication form. Even if you don't continue to use them, they might help you learn how to create them.
