Revolutionizing React Development with Microsoft's Virtual Code Components

Microsoft has announced the general availability of React and Fluent-based virtual code components for Power Apps. This exciting new feature significantly enhances React development by offering several key advantages:

Key Benefits:

• Unified Control Styling: Leverage Fluent UI for consistent styling across your apps, ensuring a seamless user experience. Learn more about Fluent modern theming here.

• Improved Performance: Experience a performance boost by eliminating isolated React trees and reducing control bundle sizes. This leads to faster loading times and improved responsiveness.

• Simplified Development: Streamline your workflow by removing the need to include React or Fluent libraries within individual component bundles. This simplification reduces development time and complexity.

Backward Compatibility and Upgrade

Previously created code components are backward compatible. However, Microsoft recommends rebuilding them using the latest version of PAC tooling for future platform library upgrades. Find more about upgrading your PAC tooling here.
