The last blog was about how to programmatically extend a dataset PCF with relations, and how to filter it. The main purpose was to avoid hardcoding WebApi requests. In this blog the story goes on with examples: let's talk about how to use the dataset "linking sdk" to make PCFs for subgrids containing extended relationships... Continue Reading →
PCF: Dataset Relationships (Linking) in Model-Driven Apps
What do you do when it doesn't seem to be possible to provide the needed data to a dataset PCF? We can bind a dataset PCF to a table, a view or to a subgrid. But maybe you need to consider a table linked to another one-to-many relationship. For instance think to a subgrid, where... Continue Reading →
Async requests inside PCF init and updateView
In quite a few cases, when we develop PCFs we need to make external requests. Even if the runtime provides metadata for the properties we define, sometimes we need some more. Or maybe we need to grab some more data from Dataverse or an external service. One easy way would be to make this requests... Continue Reading →
Editable Dataset PCF: New SDK Methods
Last week I was just browsing to PCF sdk, in order to post a link for an answer in the Power Apps Community Forum, and I've landed to "EntityRecord". I had the feeling that something was different, so I had a look to the methods available there: Wait.... What...? Can we change and save with... Continue Reading →
Dataset PCF using FluentUI: Paging
This is a part of my blog “My Checklist for a Dataset PCF using FluentUI“. The footer has to show the navigation buttons and the selected/available records. In this blog post I'll talk about how I've implemented the paging and how I've integrated it in my footer. Paging component For the footer, I've made a... Continue Reading →
Dataset PCF using FluentUI: Full Height (100%)
This is a part of my blog “My Checklist for a Dataset PCF using FluentUI“. We saw in the other blog, how to handle the height of a subgrid. But there are a few cases when the height of the grid is defined or we need to fill the whole place available (css 100%). That... Continue Reading →
Zoom In (FullScreen) PCFs
How to make the PCF toggle in FullScreen mode (for both field type or dataset type)? It's also a part of the blog series “My Checklist for a Dataset PCF using FluentUI“, since there are some details to take care when making Dataset PCFs. How To render the PCF FullScreen? Actually the possibility to render... Continue Reading →
Dataset PCF using FluentUI: Grid Height
This is a part of my blog “My Checklist for a Dataset PCF using FluentUI“. What's the right height for the grid pcf? Dataset PCF as a Home Grid If the PCF is used for the home grid, it is pretty easy: we need to fill in the whole height, and fortunately it works by... Continue Reading →
