Code components let you transform fields that traditionally contain text into visualizations. Similarly, you can use code components to transform datasets, such as a view, to display in a more visual rendering rather than a list of records. Code components can appear as visualizations on forms, dashboards, views, and homepage grids.

Whenever you update the code components and want to see the changes in runtime, you need to bump the version property in the manifest file. It is recommended to always bump the version of the component whenever you make changes.
The following is a list of some community resources created by the Power Apps community that you can use to create code components in model-driven and canvas apps using Power Apps component framework and Power Apps CLI.
Power Apps component framework enables app makers to create code components to use in an app or across the apps. More information: [Power Apps component framework overview](overview.md)
In this public preview, Power Apps component framework enables app makers to create code components, debug, import, and add them to canvas apps using the Power Apps CLI tooling. Only specific APIs are supported in this public preview. We recommend you to check each API to determine whether it supports canvas apps.

Code components are a type of solution components, which means they can be included in a solution file and installed in different environments. More information: [Package and distribute extensions using solutions](/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/package-distribute-extensions-use-solutions).
You add code components by including them in a solution and then import it into Microsoft Dataverse. Once the components are in Dataverse, system administrators and system customizers can configure fields, subgrids, views, and dashboard subgrids to use in place of default components. You can add these code components to both **model-driven and canvas apps**.

The properties defined in the manifest file for a component are rendered as configuration fields so that the user configuring the component can specify the values.

After implementing the code component logic, you can start testing and debugging the code component using the `npm start` command. This command builds the code component and opens it in the local test harness.
Use **Microsoft Power Apps CLI** (command-line interface) to create, debug, and deploy code components using Power Apps component framework. Power Apps CLI enables developers to create code components quickly. In the future, it will be expanded to include support for additional development and application life cycle management (ALM) experiences. More information: [Install Power Apps CLI](../data-platform/powerapps-cli.md)
> To deploy your code component using Power Apps CLI, you must have a Microsoft Dataverse environment with system administrator or system customizer privileges.
