By: Danish Naglekar

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. A view is a dataset so we can configure code components for type dataset on views.

    b. Charts are a different type of component in Dataverse and, currently, code components cannot be configured on charts.

  2. Correct Answer: a

    a. You can have multiple code components of any type inside a gallery component.

    b. This is an incorrect answer because we learned in the sub-section Add a code component in a gallery component that we can configure field and dataset type code components inside a gallery.

  3. Correct Answer: a

    a. Yes, a canvas app component can contain code components like any other component. And yes, a gallery component that is on a canvas app component can contain code components.

    b. A canvas app component treats code components like regular components, hence it can contain code components.
