Power Apps component framework gives developers the ability to extend the visualizations in model-driven apps. Professional developers can create, debug, import, and add code components to model-driven apps using [Power Apps CLI](get-powerapps-cli.md). You can add code components to columns, grids, and sub grids in model-driven apps.

> Code components contain code that may not be generated by Microsoft and can potentially access security tokens and data when rendered in Power Apps Studio. When adding code components to a canvas app, make sure that the code component solutions are from a trusted source. This vulnerability does not exist when playing the canvas app.
26

27

When you open a canvas app in Power Apps Studio that contains code components, a dialog shows a warning message about potentially unsafe code. Code components in the Power Apps Studio environment have access to security tokens and hence only components from the trusted sources should be opened. Administrators and system customizers should review and validate all the code components before importing those components in an environment and making them available for makers to use in their apps. The `Default` publisher is shown when you import code components using an unmanaged solution or when you have used `pac pcf push` to install your code component.

5. Open your project folder `C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\<My_code_Component>` in any developer environment of your choice and get started with your code component development. The quickest way to get started is by running `code .` from your command prompt once you are in the `C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\<My_code_Component>` directory. This command opens your component project in Visual Studio Code.
