Hi @arunshankar

JFYI. The purpose of the portal is to build web application quickly without writing custom code but you are not limited to any frameworks. Portal comes with Bootstrap 3 as of now where you can utilise all your requirements with the help of jquery.

However, if you prefer to React then you can refer to the below blog where Angular is shown as an example. You can apply the same logic to your React components.

https://www.inogic.com/blog/2018/12/working-with-angular-js-framework-in-dynamics-crm-portal/

In the recent Portal release wave, you can actually build PCF ( PowerApps Component Framework) controls. Official docs for ref:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/component-framework-tutorial

Additional Tip: I use the Bulma CSS framework to achieve what you have described. If you are interested.

Hope it helps.

Hi @arunshankar,

Glad it helps you in some way. The thread link which I shared about Bulma includes how to upload bulma.min.css

However, if you are new to the portal

Check the following thread

Apologize @arunshankar, I have missed this completely.

Download the bulma.css from the following link

https://bulma.io/

In Portal Management:

1. Under Content > Web Files> Create new

2. Name and partial URL as" bulma.min.css". The screenshot below for your reference

3. Hit Save.

4. In the notes tab > upload the bulma.min.css file. Screenshot for your reference

In Portal Studio:

Press sync configuration and browse the website.

Now from Bulma documentation, you can use any components, layout or form components as per your need without writing any custom JS

Hope it helps.
