Dataset harness - [context.parameters.sampleDataSet] - number of records

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

First off, great work to the tooling team around the latest version of CLI. I've noticed a few improvements so far.

So i'm compiling and debugging the sample dataset component:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/sample-controls/data-set-grid-control

And it runs great inside the harness:

And noticed, it is generating for 3 records. And within :

context.parameters.sampleDataSet

I can indeed see that there are three recid's. Is there anyway to set this any arbitary number? E.g. fill an entire screen with 50 records?

Cheers!

Andrew

I did some test for a custom control and the display seems to adapt to the content of the control.

So if I have three records, my control shows something like two rows. If I have more records, number or rows used increase and I can always see all records.

Yes, works well in Dynamics. I was referring to the harness.

It is generating the same data set for my custom component too.
If we can inject mock data (preferrably from a json file), that would be really nice as we can easily get data in json from D365 web API.

Hi Andrew,

Currently the sample data that is used to drive a data-set control in the harness is fixed. As a result, there will always be three records. We have a planned future update to enable users to configure this.

Thank you,
Alex

Yeah figured that was the case. I can always inject my own simulation code during debug and remove for production.. so no biggy.

Yes would be great to have more control around this in a future release. Thanks for coming back to me.
