Get fancy with your Model Driven Power Apps forms using PCF controls.
What are PCF Controls
“Power Apps component framework (or PCF) empowers professional developers and app makers to create code components for model-driven and canvas apps. These code components can be used to enhance the user experience for users working with data on forms, views, dashboards, and canvas app screens” – Power Apps component framework overview (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/overview)
In this article I am covering how I use a specific PCF control, developed by David Rivard, to render FluentUI v9 badges in Model-driven Power Apps forms.
How to get the control
You can get the control from github and import the solution into your environment.
Once you imported the solution, open any form and add the component to your form.
Then select the desired field to apply the control on.
To configure the control with the desired size, share, color, ect. follow this documentation.
Use cases for the control
On choices (multi-select option sets) fields to render the values as tags
On text fields to render the values separated by a comma as tags
On important values for any type of fields
Discover other controls on the PCF Gallery.
PCF Gallery is a collection of controls created with the Power Apps Component Framework.
