ReportHello Developers,
Today we have reached an important milestone for Microsoft PowerApps: we are announcing public preview for PowerApps component framework for model-driven apps. The framework enables professional developers to build custom visual components for PowerApps. This is a significant step towards empowering 3rd party developers to build compelling visual components using the same framework which Microsoft team uses. The framework is the foundation for the new Unified Interface released with Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps version 9.0. Components created using the framework can be reused, configured as needed and are solution aware along with configurations.
You can find more details on the framework here.
To enable new component creation, the Microsoft PowerApps CLI is also available for public preview. The Microsoft PowerApps CLI is a developer command line interface enabling you to build custom components for PowerApps faster and more efficiently.
- The CLI will assist you with component creation by guiding you through predefined creation steps
- It provides a harness for quickly testing, debugging and visualizing your custom component
- Each development step has built in validations which minimize chances for mistakes
- Help menus are available to guide each step of the development process
You can find more details on the tooling here.
A huge thanks to everyone who provided their valuable feedback as part of the private preview. To continue discussions around PowerApps Component Framework and tooling please visit our new public forum:
