Get environment variables in a custom power app component.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am using a custom action to trigger a plugin that passes two values, an ID and a JSON string of environment variables. This is triggered in a Power App Component using PCF for Dynamics 365 Sales. Currently, I can get the ID from the environment to the component, however I am not sure how I would pass the value of the environment variable (called "config") to the Power App Component.

I am getting the ID with the following code:

this._id = (<any>this._context.mode).contextInfo.entityId;

Is there a way that I can do something similar to get the environment variables from my solution into the custom control?

Javascript to retrieve the environment variables can be found at Solved: Get Value of Environment Variable using JavaScript - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

It's a piece of Javascript you call because it's not possible to sanely pass the information another way..

If you need the environment variable for other controls / pages it may make sense to cache the result of the query - I've got code that can do that if you require....
