The Microsoft team keeps adding new features and functionality to Power Pages. Just announced, the ability to use Power FX in Power Pages!
See official announcement here: Use Power Fx in Power Pages for authoring dynamic content
See documentation here: Use Power Fx in Power Pages (preview)
Check out a short video of where I add some Power FX code to read Dataverse data and display info on a web page:
Key things to note:
- You will need to ensure your table permissions are properly configured! I struggled with this a bit and I don’t think things are fully baked yet.
- The code is rendered server-side, so using Power FX to manipulate the UI on the client side won’t work. (JavaScript is your friend here).
What do you think? Will Power FX be a good language for Power Pages or is Liquid/JavaScript/CSS more than enough?
