Part 3: Building Code Apps with SharePoint Online Integration

Image
 Step1 : Add the SharePoint Online list connection to your Code App using the following command: pac code add-data-source -a <connection name> -c <API ID> -d <SharePoint Site(encoded)> -t <list id> The process of retrieving the connection name and API ID has already been explained in Part 1 and Part 2 of the blog. Please refer to those sections if you are not familiar with how to obtain them. For the SharePoint site , you must provide the encoded URL . The required format is double URL encoding (also known as percent-encoding applied twice). How it works Normal characters in a URL are encoded once using percent-encoding (RFC 3986) : : → %3A / → %2F If you encode that result again , the % character itself becomes %25 : %3A → %253A %2F → %252F So: https: // → https% 3 A% 2 F%2F (once encoded) https% 3 A% 2 F%2F → https%253A%252F%252F In simple terms, you need to encode the SharePoint site URL twice. First, encode the Sha...

Power Apps SharePoint Pagination: Load 500 Records at a Time Using Index_Id

When working with large SharePoint lists in Power Apps, you may hit the delegation limit if you try to load more than 2,000 records at once. To build an efficient app that scales beyond this, we can use a custom pagination technique — loading data 500 records at a time using a numeric Index_Id column. In this post, I’ll walk you through a fully working solution that loads SharePoint list items in chunks, supports “Next” and “Previous” buttons, and avoids delegation issues by leveraging indexed fields.
