novalogica PCF Starter

A CLI tool to generate a new PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) project from a base template with customizable options.

Features

• Quickly scaffold a new PCF control using npx
• Supports field and dataset component types
• Automatically renames files, updates manifest, and installs dependencies
• Works seamlessly with React, Fluent UI, Web API, and other libraries

Installation

You can use the generator without installing globally:

npx novalogica-pcf-control my-pcf-component -n novalogica -c ControlName -t field

Or install globally:

npm install -g novalogica-pcf

Then run:

novalogica-pcf my-pcf-component -n novalogica -c ControlName -t dataset

Usage

npx novalogica-pcf-control <component-name> [options]
