If you are following my blogs you might have noticed that already couple of blogs related to PCF controls are shared related to manifest files, Lifecycle of Power Apps Component, Power Apps CLI. This is an extension to that series and here we are going to see the step by step process to create a PCF control. I will try to create this as generic as possible so that we can adapt to our requirements. Just note that here I am going to only share the steps at a high level and not any low level code changes. Hope that is something specific to your requirements and can be adapted if we know how to do it at a very high level. Let’s start the process then.

Power Apps Command Line Interface (CLI)
As we discussed in some of my previous blogs, Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) based components within Dynamics 365 is the new talk of the town. To get this going, we need some tools for our help like Command Line Interface (CLI), Visual Studio Code, Code editor of your choice and so on. In this blog we are going to discuss more on CLI tool which will come handy in creating the project using a template, building and debugging the project and also during the packaging of our components. We will be taking this step by step as I was learning using the same along with the commands for you to keep them handy for future use as well.

Latest trend in Dynamics 365 world is Power Apps Component Framework or in short PCF. Its pretty cool to have PCF components in our environment which gives us great visualization for the same data and also better usability for the end users. Understanding how these components work or in general the end to end lifecycle of this framework is really important to make sure that we develop these components the right way and triggers the required logic at the right time. In this blog we will try to understand the lifecycle of a Power Apps component in general and main methods which gets called during this life cycle.
