Best approach for multiple PowerApps portal developers and source control

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 29

Hi can someone  inform me what is the current best practise for multiple portal developers customising a power apps portal. To me it does not make sense to have portal developers with their own portal and then trying to transfer changes to a central dev portal.

 

Also with the addition of VS code and downloading  the portal code locally and then uploading changes seems great but I find it tedious do this where I prefer to make changes directly to our dev portal.

 

What is your view on both above

    Hi @gman 

     

    Welcome to the power apps portal forum. First of all great question. ! 

     

    Key points: 

    1. Since the launch of the power apps portal. Power Apps Portal allows multiple users to edit the portal 

    2. The idea of having a developer portal for each user is to have their own play not for transferring. i.e. your team can have their own dev environment and portal to play and learn. 

    3. The usual approach is to create three environments 

    1. Dev 2. Test and 3. Prod  apart from their own dev environment 

     

    4. In your dev environment portal, you can allocate tasks to your team to work on different things, and once reviewed and happy 

    5. Then using the configuration migration tool you can transfer to the test environment and to the  production 

     

    In terms of VScode. 

    This is best preferred when you want to write your HTML, JS, CSS  with more room and sync it back to the portal.

    Again the steps from 3 to 5 apply for this approach. 

     

    Advanced: 

    You can now have CI/ CD configured which will have support git versioning for the traditional modern approach of development.

    Hope it helps.
