This time we’ll take this a step further and explore how to automate the early-bound class creation process…
As a Power Platform developer, I have always been a strong advocate for the use of early-bound classes in customization projects that targets Dataverse tables and actions.

Dataverse Custom APIs are a powerful extension model of the PowerPlatform. However, at the time of writing, there are no direct method to execute a Custom API inside the PowerApps Canvas App model. In this post I will show how to call any Custom API from a Canvas App with…
While I was starting a new PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) project, I stumbled upon the latest release notes of the framework’s main package (pcf-scripts v1.18.4). I was stoked 🤩 to see that they improved the performance of the bundling process by switching from babel-loaderto esbuild-loader. Let’s take this opportunity to…
This is the second part of a series on Storybook for PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls, where I take one of my community PCF control hosted on Github (CountryPicker.PCF) and implement a Storybook from scratch. While the first post, revolved around the setup and authoring process of the Storybook, this…
In the frontend development world, Storybook as emerged as the industry standard to showcase and test UI components. In this series of posts I will show how easy (and rewarding) it is to implement and publish a Storybook for a PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) project. That way users can have…
