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.

As the talk of the hour in Dynamics community, I am sure you will be well aware of Power Apps Component Framework aka PCF. Today in this blog we are trying to decode the different sections of a manifest file in the PCF project. Just to introduce you to manifest file which defines the properties that are available for use by the application hosting the component. These properties allow the application and component to communicate about data without the app having to understand the implementation of the component. This acts like an interface between the application and the component.
