Copilot for Power Pages Pro-developers!

There seems to be a Copilot popping up everywhere in Microsoft products these days. (I am eagerly waiting for the Notepad Copilot!)

The latest Copilot to make an appearance now surfaces in Visual Studio Code (desktop) while editing and configuring a Power Pages website.

Writing code for Power Pages has sometimes proven to be a bit tricky because the syntax differs slightly form other Power Platform products and also sometimes differs from traditional web development. This is where Copilot can really become your Power Pages coding buddy!

Here is short video with a simple example of adding JavaScript code to a form component on a Power Pages webpage.

The Copilot isn’t limited to this simple example, use it to generate more complex JavaScript, HTML, Liquid and CSS.

That being said, you’ll still need to understand how the code works in order to make the necessary adjustments for your own projects as well as potential debugging and optimization.

For additional details, please refer to Microsoft Documentation – Add AI generated code using Copilot

In future posts and videos, I will try to utilize the Copilot to assist in more advanced examples.
