Discovering best practices when building canvas apps
Variable naming
Control usage
- Having a great-looking app using many controls to build its user interface but hurting performance each time the screens get rendered.
- Displaying data to the user using a gallery inside a gallery. This approach might be tempting to present master-detail data, but this would be a significant slowdown in your application.
Coding methodology
- If you have data that rarely changes, you can create collections on application start to avoid round-trips each time data is required. Even more, if you have data that never changes, you can import this as static data inside your app for speedier access.
- Taking advantage of the features available in your data source can significantly improve your application building process and even its performance. For example, when using Dataverse or a relational database, there is a significant difference when querying data if you use a data source view instead of building the actual query in your application logic, especially if it needs complex relationships. Using these views gives you cleaner code while also improving performance. This improvement relays on the data source engine as it is the one that executes the data processing instead of the Power App.
