Possible to embed third party react control in Canvas App?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BriH 33

Hi,

 

I've recently been asked to see how feasible it would be to embed a third party tool, specifically this - DocumentEditor
into a canvas application.

The third party tool has support for REACT, but I also understand that all PowerApps custom components must follow the PowerApps component framework and I'm no sure how difficult it would be to configure this tool to be in line with the framework. I've taken the PL-400, but my knowledge of adding custom components is limited and I've only ever added fairly basic components before. Is this even possible and if so, is it worth going down this rabbit hole?

    Power Apps Component Framework controls very easily support react. In fact, it is how almost all the OOB controls are built. here are a few reference pages to help you get started:
