Chapter 10: Diving Deep into the Features Provided by PCF
In the previous chapters, we learned about several techniques we can use to create, test, inspect, debug, and configure a code component. At this point, you should be able to create your own code components. However, the Power Apps component framework provides additional features that enable you to build complex code components. In this chapter, we will look at some of them in depth by examining their usage with some examples. By the end of this chapter, you will be aware of most of the capabilities the Power Apps component framework has to offer.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding the context
- Exploring the updateView method
- Understanding the importance of the getOutputs method
- Inspecting the caching mechanism
- Working with external devices
- Exploring the Web API
Let's get started!
