Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to implement custom code such as JavaScript inside a Power App? I saw one video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC4XBktbHjg) of a guy inserting their custom code inside Power Apps but I don't seem to have that option.
Is writing Javascript supported in Power Apps in any way?
Thanks,
Ville

You cannot use Javascript or any other code in PowerApps - it is a No-Code platform.
You can, however, create Custom components with the PowerApps Component Framework.
They are still considered experimental.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Hi @VilPel
The custom component technique that Scott Durow describes in his video is the only way to add custom JavaScript code that can run in a canvas app.
You have to enable the 'code components' setting in your environment, so if you're trying to follow this but you don't see that option, that's one reason. You will also need to have built and installed a component with your JavaScript, so that's the other reason why the option doesn't appear.
The JavaScript support in custom components isn't designed to customise the functionality of a canvas app in the way that I imagine you require. For practical purposes, I would avoid going down this route.
Is there anything specifically that you want to do that you can't do with the built-in canvas app functions?
Note that there is also a post here in the ideas forum that you can vote for.
