Web Resources and PCFs

  • Updated

Introduction

Power Framework is a Model-Driven Power App and therefore can be enhanced through the use of additional Web Resources and the Power Apps Component Framework controls.

Web Resources represent files that are used to extend the Power Framework Dataverse web application such as HTML files, JavaScript, and CSS, and several image formats.

Web Resources are used for in-form customisations, the Site Map, or the Application Ribbon because they can be referenced by using URL syntax.

A full list of Web Resources is documented in the Appendices.

Power Apps Component Framework (PCF)

Power Apps Component Framework empowers professional developers and app makers to create code components for model-driven Apps such as Power Framework. These code components are used to enhance the user experience for users working with data on forms, views, and dashboards.

Unlike HTML web resources, code components are rendered as part of the same context and loaded at the same time as any other components, providing a seamless experience for the user.

Code components can be created that can be used across the full breadth of Power Apps capabilities, and these components can be reused many times across different tables and forms.

Developers can bundle all the HTML, CSS, and TypeScript files into a single solution package file and move across environments.

A full list of Custom Controls is documented in the Appendices.
