PCF Code Components

Purpose: emit a TypeScript PCF control that builds with pac pcf + npm and packs into a solution -- the pro-code escape hatch when canvas/model-driven controls are not enough.

When to Use

• A required UX (custom chart, map, rich editor, signature pad) is not expressible with stock controls
• Reusing a JS/TS library inside a Power Apps form or canvas app
• Replacing a single field or a whole dataset (grid) with custom rendering

First decide low-code vs pro-code (see architecture/low-code-vs-pro-code). PCF is pro-code: it carries a build pipeline and maintenance cost.
