Code apps let you build custom web applications that run natively within Power Apps, using standard web technologies like React, TypeScript, and Vite alongside Power Platform connectors and data sources.
Code apps are generally available. See the full code apps documentation at aka.ms/pacodeapps.
The fastest way to start a new code app is with the starter template:
npx degit microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/starter my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run devThen connect to data, build it, and deploy it to Power Apps following the code apps documentation.
