What problem does it solve?
This Skill enables developers to define and manage custom events within Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) components, allowing for more sophisticated interactions between components and the hosting application.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Custom Event Definition: Define custom events in the PCF component's manifest file.
- Event Raising: Trigger these custom events from the component's code.
- Event Handling: Implement handlers in both Canvas and Model-Driven apps to react to these custom events.
- Data Payload: Pass data payloads with events for richer communication.
- Use Case: A PCF component that visualizes complex data can raise a
dataPointSelected event, passing the selected data point's ID to the hosting application, which can then update other parts of the UI or trigger further actions.
Quick Start
Define a custom event named 'onDataChange' in your PCF component's manifest and trigger it from your TypeScript code.
