I'm kinda pumped about this. As a long-time Access/SQL Server developer, the ability to work with code is something I've missed in PowerApps. I'm in love with the power of PowerApps, but this takes it to another level for me.

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

Awesome George! Glad you are digging it, took me a hot minute for the light bulb to come on. 💡

@TIMEPIECE66 8 дней назад

Thanks Shane - always great videos! I've just been playing with Screen copying and found that if you first create a new blank screen, you are able to paste the code from an entire copied screen and all works once you edit the new screen name to match the copied screen name. Useful to pull individual single-screen apps into a combined app, which I am now using to combine an Employees App, an Assets App and an Asset Allocations App in one new Asset Management App. Hope that helps someone.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to be regularly using this copy code function...it puts the "fun" in function

@ShanesCows 6 дней назад

Yeah, I really think things like the Attachment control it is a huge time saver. 🤩

@kingsleyudeagha 14 дней назад

Greatful for videos like this, thank you shane.

@ShanesCows 12 дней назад

Awesome, happy to help!

@vincephillips5358 14 дней назад

Excellent video Shane🎉. Very well explained 👏 The attachment hack is the first thing I used the YAML code for. Like you, I got fed up with the hassle or component work around. 👍👍

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

Awesome!

@spen2431 14 дней назад

HUmmmm..... a thinker.... I need to find a problem where this will help. Code sharing is OK (See some advantages) - but a decent starting app template with 70% of what you need (Buttons/themes etc..) is where I am still going with. As always - thanks for sharing Shane. 💥💥💥💥

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

Glad to help. I agree, it is a thinker feature more than a just go use.

@AlexandrePerret 14 дней назад

You can use the pipe after the ":" to set multiline formula that will accept spaces. (found it on the power apps yaml grammar documentation)

@ShanesCows 12 дней назад

Very cool, thanks for sharing

@JoyKnows 14 дней назад

Look at you risking the Rath of the Devs by dabbling in code! 🙃This is really cool and I can see us using it to save time and add consistency to our apps, which in turn saves time on editing and troubleshooting each other's apps. Great vid.

@ShanesCows 12 дней назад

😹 Joy you know me too well 😹

@Alan-wt1vo 14 дней назад

really interesting I like the find /replace for names and titles or colours - so many new ideas - thanks Shane 🙂

@ShanesCows 12 дней назад

I am here for ideas. Love it

@akshaynm 14 дней назад

Very Fantastic and Different Topic Shane.. Thanks a lot for making video on this. !! 🙂

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

You are welcome. It was a hard one for me to understand so I assumed it was the same for others. 🙃

@akshaynm 14 дней назад

@@ShanesCows That is true. In-fact i was looking for this for the last two years because there are no references on 'how use VSCode for PowerApps Codes views'. I created a thread as well on Community but did not get any reply 🙂 By anyways, i am happy today. I wish you could create more videos covering things like this. 🤝

@jamessadventures1380 14 дней назад

This has the potential to be very awesome! Fingers crossed that the next enhancement is VS code can attach to the studio session and you can edit on the fly rather than having to copy pasting the code back and forth

@ShanesCows 12 дней назад

That would be cool!

@jeanpauldosher3076 14 дней назад

Marcel is the best !!! For me some container Groups appears as schema error, it's surely not a great issue

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

He is pretty cool dude! 😎 I haven't had those issues yet, hopefully they get sorted.

@CloudhoundCoUk 14 дней назад

Interesting development.

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

Does open some nice doors!

@THEDTSMAN 14 дней назад

Hmmmm this was actually really interesting, I have an idea to explore with the lead dev. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

Yes! This is exactly why I make these videos. 😎 Run with awesome ideas!

@christopheromalley9333 14 дней назад

Nice video. My team played a little with yaml doing pipelines from Azure Devops. Yaml is very picky about formatting with it's indents.

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

Agree. Me and YAML have had more than one fight about spaces.

@bapi9398 11 дней назад

Great video Shane, I love it, and I have a question: did you ever try "view code" when you've added some comment in your code? If no, just have a look...and I hope such is result is there because it's a preview... :(

@ShanesCows 11 дней назад

Yes, it was one of the features in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yy8U4UmXtNk.html Very cool stuff. 🤩

@microsoftbizappsfico 13 дней назад

Hi Shane, Any idea when this will be finished to use it at scale? It currently still feels like an early beta version.

@ShanesCows 12 дней назад

I am not sure what their plans are.

@user-xh2cn5qk8c 11 дней назад

Hmmm ... I dont see the "View Code ..." option in my controls ... help !

@ShanesCows 10 дней назад

Boo, I thought it had rolled out everywhere. Hopefully soon!

@pitfrog9132 11 дней назад

hi shane :) great video. do you know if there is a library with all the references to these yaml objects? I think it would be great to create a custom gpt out of this to use natural language to build components for canvas apps

@ShanesCows 11 дней назад

I had heard there was but hadn't seen it till just now. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/yaml-formula-grammar I think that is what you are looking for?

@rpavanshetty 3 дня назад

Eventually some pros would create a crazy extension that can put the yaml creation on steroids 😉

@ShanesCows 15 часов назад

I like it

@michelhegeraat5430 14 дней назад

Would be cool if could just get the whole app into vscode, all screens, the stuff in App like onstart, onerror, you know the lot. Are you aware of a way to do this? Would be typical for MS if this was not possible.

@ShanesCows 14 дней назад

You can get all of the source and unpack it. I don't have a video but if you poke around here you should find more info. github.com/microsoft/PowerApps-Tooling You can even use GitHub and such. I do think they are revamping a bunch of it also.
