Power Apps coding guidelines

Creating a simple canvas app is straightforward, but as the application's complexity grows, maintaining code quality becomes crucial. These guidelines describe standards for naming objects, collections, and variables, and guidelines for developing consistent, performant, and easily maintainable apps. The guidelines provide essential guidance for developers who design, build, test, deploy, and maintain Power Apps apps in various environments, including small businesses, corporations, and government entities.

Tip

Use the Power CAT Toolkit to perform code reviews. The toolkit incorporates many of the coding guidelines from this documentation, ensuring that your solutions are efficient and maintainable. The toolkit automatically flags any patterns that don't adhere to these best practices, so you can address potential issues early in the development process. This proactive approach enhances the quality of your code and helps streamline the review process, making it easier to maintain high standards across your projects. Integrating the Power CAT Toolkit into your development workflow ensures that your solutions are built on a solid foundation and leads to more reliable and scalable solutions.
