Extending Microsoft Power Apps with Power Apps Component Framework

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. What is the regex that needs to be populated in the first textbox of the Rule Editor in AutoResponder when debugging a code component named MyControl in a model-driven app? (100 points)

    a. regex:(?control).+.MyControl/bundle.js

    b. regex:(?insx).+.MyControl/bundle.js

  2. What is the entry that needs to be populated in the first textbox of the Rule Editor in AutoResponder when debugging a code component named MyCharacterCounter that has a namespace of PowerMeUp in a canvas app? (100 points)

    a. Resources0Controls0PowerMeUp.MyCharacterCounter.bundle.js?sv=

    b. ResourcesControls.PowerMeUp.MyCharacterCounter.bundle.js?sv=

  3. What are the missing sequences here, where we are debugging a code component deployed to a model-driven app? (200 points)

    Configure AutoResponder > Open the form where the code component is deployed > Perform a hard reload > ? > Make some code changes to the local file > ? > Refresh the browser
