Is there a way to source apps developed with Power Apps like regular code?

 

If there is a method, please tell me what it is and how to use it.

    Hi @kjk4563 ,

    What do you mean by "regular code"? Power Apps uses Power FX

    @WarrenBelz 

    I'd like to see Power Apps code like HTML, JS, and CSS written in VSCode.

    you can consider the Model Driven app. Where you use HTML, JS, and CSS written in VSCode.

    i dont really see what you are trying to find. in the formula bar you have a button on the bottom that says format text that transfers a longer code into lines

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

    I would like to ask if it is possible to code and view the Power Apps app itself, rather than just looking at the code within the text designation.

    If I use 'Model Driven App', can I view the code of the entire app in Power Apps?

    it does not work like other languages. you have your canvas and you have the controls you can put on the screen. each control or lets say anything that you throw on the screen has multiple properties. in every property you can put some code. you always see the canvas on the bottom and on the top is the code bar

    @kjk4563 ,

    There is only one "language" in Power Apps coding - Power FX - you can use some HTML is various places if you want output in that format.

    The argument is different.

     

    The question is whether the Canvas app itself in Power Apps can be viewed as code.

    @WarrenBelz 

    It's Not using HTML, this that we want to view Power Apps as code just as we view the web as HTML code.
