Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

Is there a way to get the parent site's context? I was trying to use the getParentWeb method but it doesn't seem to return the context. I'd like to be able to recursively get the parentWeb until I hit the root site. I was planning to do this by getting the parent web and loading its context into the sp.setup() method so that I could evoke it again to keep going back. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi @jcosta33,

Looks like using implicit Web/Site object creations is what you're looking for.

import { Web } from '@pnp/sp';
const web = new Web('[WEB_ABSOLUTE_URL]');

Hi @koltyakov,

Thank you! I'll give that one a go :)
