Overview of this book

Power Apps Component Framework is used by professional developers to extend the capabilities of model-driven and canvas apps. Extending Microsoft Power Apps with Power Apps Component Framework will take you through the basic as well as advanced topics using practical examples. The book starts by helping you understand the fundamentals of the framework, its lifecycle, and the tools that you'll use to build code components using best practices and file management guidelines. You'll then learn how to extend Power Apps step by step and apply the principles and concepts covered in the book to build code components for field type attributes. The book covers different ways of debugging code components and guides you through the process of building code components for datasets. You'll also explore the functions and methods provided by the framework to enhance your controls using powerful sets of libraries and extensions. As you advance, you'll get to grips with creating and managing authentication profiles, discover different ways of deploying code components, and configure code components in model-driven and canvas apps.

Chapter 2

  1. Correct Answer: b

    a. There are no pcf commands. Power Apps CLI provides pac commands.

    b. Power Apps CLI is a command-line interface that not only provides access to PCF but also provides support for other project types and hence the commands it offers are pac commands.

  2. Correct Answer: a

    a. Because it is a project file that supports PCF, the extension for such a file is .pcfproj.

    b. There is no such file with the extension .pcf created.

  3. Correct Answer: b

    a. The PCF Initialization command does not allow spaces in namespace and name and hence this option is the incorrect answer.

    b. The command properly follows all the guidelines when initializing a PCF project, such as no spaces in namespace or name attribute and the correct option is selected for template attribute. All Power Apps CLI commands have aliases that can be utilized using a single dash (-) and for a full name, you need to use a double dash (--).
