Power Apps SDK

[marcelbf]

🚀 What's New

We’re excited to announce that the Power Apps SDK now includes Dataverse support!

---

⚠️ Prerequisites

• Requires PAC CLI v1.46
  📦 update using dotnet tools, or get from NuGet

⚠️ Important: The Power Platform VS Code extension does not yet include PAC CLI v1.46.
Estimated availability: August 6, 2025

---

✅ Supported Scenarios

• Add Dataverse entities to Code Apps using the PAC CLI
• Perform CRUD operations:
  • Create
  • Retrieve
  • RetrieveAll
  • Update
  • Delete
• delegation for:
  • Filter
  • Sort
  • Top queries
• paging support

---

❌ Unsupported Scenarios

The following features are not yet supported:

• Optionsets, Lookup fields, Polymorphic entities
• Dataverse Actions
• Deleting Dataverse datasources via PAC CLI
• Entity Metadata updates
• FetchXML support

---

🧪 Sample Usage

pac code add-data-source -a dataverse -t [table logical name]

📘 Know issues

• Use the logical name of the table (e.g., account, not Account).
• Adding Dataverse Datasource and then adding another connector, leads to re-creating files of service and model files. The workaround is to delete the duplicated files.

For anyone who wants to use the latest VS Code integrated terminal until the extension is updated with the latest version of pac, I use this as a temporary workaround.

Set-Alias pac "$HOME\.dotnet\tools\pac.exe"

Hi

I generated the ContactService and model using the below command.

pac code add-data-source -a dataverse -t "contact"

Under the ContactsService I am getting this error:

Cannot find module '@microsoft/power-apps/data';
import type { IOperationResult } from '@microsoft/power-apps/data';
import { getClient } from '@microsoft/power-apps/data';

I can see node_modules@microsoft\power-apps directory but no directory called 'data' exists.

Any idea how to resolve this error?

Thanks a lot
