This repository contains a source code for an API App and a lab manual for demonstrating a simple example for integrating Power Apps Canvas apps with an API app hosted on an Azure Web App using a custom-connector. This scenario can be used to unlock the potential of untapped assets within an enterprise (legacy APIs, data sources, processes etc..)
Most enterprises have a majority of their core business data trapped in several silos (legacy databases & apps - Systems of Records). It is essential for digital transformation to break those data silos and make the information trapped in those systems available to employees and business teams as needed.
It is also important to modernize the user experience of the enterprise apps in order to drive productivity.
Microsoft Power Apps along with Azure could be an effective way to bridge this gap, by enabling an RESTful API layer powered by Azure which could encapsulate and standardize the enterprise data for use with apps + Power Apps as the rapid application development User interface where business apps can be built with agility and in collaboration with the business.
This lab has two key objectives:
- To demonstrate how Power Apps platform can help unlock the potential of untapped assets within an Enterprise ( legacy APIs, data sources, processes) with a low-code / no code approach.
- Learn to create a cross-platform application user experience using Microsoft Power Apps to consume these RESTful APIs through custom connectors
[Optional/Bonus Lab]Learn how to enable Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and setup Azure DevOps for the application
The lab requires:
- Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 to compile the code and publish to Azure
- Access to an Azure Subscription to create an API app to serve as the RESTful API
- Access to a Power Apps environment with Maker permission to create apps and custom connectors
Refer to the Lab Document for the step-by-step guidance for this lab.
