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…
Microsoft recently unveiled the first stable version of FluentUI React v9 (@fluentui/react-components). This new edition of FluentUI is the result of joint efforts from the Office and Teams product teams to streamline their respective React front-end libraries into one component framework. To celebrate this 🎉, I have released 2 community…
Building modern front-end controls and application requires great care to keep the size of the assets as low as possible. The development of PowerApps Control Framework (PCF) controls doesn’t fall short from this rule. In this post I will show how to optimize the tree-shaking process and reduce the bundle…
In this episode of the Visual Studio Talk Show, I had the great pleasure to talk (In French) with Microsoft MVP’s Mario Cardinal and Guy Barette. We talked about the PowerPlatform in general and mostly about my open source PCF control projects.
One of the thing I like the most about PCF controls for the PowerPlatform is the ability to change the normal behavior and rendering of forms attributes to add a new twist to the user experience. With that in mind, for my latest community PCF control, ShieldsIO.Badge.PCF, I wanted to…
In the latest release of the LookupDropdown PCF control for Dataverse, I have added a new feature that adds support for related record filtering, hence the ability to filter the values of a dropdown in real-time based on the value of another lookup field. When rendered, this can produce nice…
One of the most anticipated feature of the PowerApps Control Framework (PCF) last year was the Lookup datatype support. Hence the ability to bind a PCF control to a Lookup field in a Dataverse Model-Driven form to customize it’s behavior. The feature was released last summer (see official post) and…
In my last post I explained how to enable custom webpack configurations in a PowerApps Control Framework project. I also showed how to generate the source-map file of the generated PCF bundle. PCF controls – Custom Webpack configurations To continue on this track and push things a little further, I…
When developing Power Platform PCF controls, at build-time, Webpack is invoked to bundle the code and dependencies into deployable assets. While the out-of-the-box configurations are suitable for most of the basic PCF control needs, sometimes, you need to throw your own custom instructions in the game. This is what we…
I had the great pleasure to geek out with Jonas Rapp and Daryl Labar on this episode of XrmToolCast
