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. Finally, you'll learn some of the important features of the framework and learn modern web development practices. By the end of this Power Apps book, you'll be able to build, debug, enrich, and deploy code components confidently.

  1. Correct Answer: b

    a. There is no such expression called (?control).

    b. The regular expression with (?insx) ensures that case-insensitivity and a few other options are turned on. For more information on this, read the official reference guide from Telerik at http://bit.ly/AutoResponder-Regex.

  2. Correct Answer: a

    a. When in edit mode for canvas apps, the bundle.js file is loaded from this location and that is the reason you must configure the rule in AutoResponder to replace this with the location of bundle.js from the local directory.

    b. This is an invalid choice because the bundle.js file is referenced with Resources0Controls0 in the path in canvas apps.

  3. Correct Answer: a

    a. After the hard reload, do not forget to add a debug pointer in the index file so you can start debugging in DevTools. Also, when you make any changes to the code, you need to rebuild the PCF project so that the bundle.js file is recreated, which gets picked up by AutoResponder.

    b. When you perform...
