Building and Deploying your First PCF Control (without React)


PCF controls are custom built Power Apps Component Framework controls that extend the functionality of Microsoft Power Apps. There are two templates available for building these controls: Standard and React. To build PCF controls, you will need Visual Studio Code with Node.js installed, Power Apps CLI, and msbuild. After setting up the necessary tools, you can create a control by using the "pac pcf init" command and providing the required parameters. Once the control is initialized, you can customize its functionality by modifying the generated files. To test the control, you can run it in a test harness using the "npm start" command. Finally, you can deploy the control to the Power Platform by packaging it into a solution and using the "pac pcf push" command.
