PCF Architecture

• We use HTML, CSS and TypeScript to create code components.
• Developers can also use ReactJS, AngularJS, Fluent UI. These are optional, but are preferred.
• 3 areas in code component: Manifest File, Component Implementation and Resource Files.
• Manifest File has properties about the component like Name, Description, Version, Resource Files etc. App Makers can statically set the value of these properties or dynamically bind it to any available data columns of the application. These properties help the application and component to communicate with each other.
• Component Implementation has the code files like TypeScript/JavaScript files, User Interface details, functionality, business logic etc. This code file implements StandardControl interface.
• Resource Files has static resources like libraries used, CSS files, Images used at various places etc.
