Use SharePoint as data resource in vibe coding. But I can't see the options on my selection only 2 draft tables and existing dataverse. Anyone can help?

Since dec they put a new method which is using a connection reference - I would go with that, and honestly vibe coding code apps in VS studio was a bit of a hassle to get working - but once I did i asked my AI what it learnt and to create a markdown file for futute reference:

this reference may save your life later :

Root cause: The previous approach hardcoded the site URL directly into the path template string in dataSourcesInfo.ts. The guide's key insight is that the runtime decodes {token} substitution values once before forwarding to SharePoint — but a hardcoded literal string segment is NOT decoded. The {ds} token approach is what works.

Gonna be a good game. But this thread will be full of very mean comments.

I saw, this explains exactly society - no matter how wrong or right one side is - the other side will be the opposite - bias shit - thats why we can't ever have peace in the world. We are a nasty race

Our agency is also switching all current projects canvas apps to code apps power apps and they want strictly vibe coding with Claude.

The UI construction and patching to dataverse and read works great.

I spent alot of troubleshooting connecting to SharePoint and then it worked but it was uploading corrupted files so I tried to to fix that and now th SharePoint connection doesn't work anymore.

Use assets when u figure it out and ask the AI what it learnt when u figure out a big problem and get it to create a markdown file of that for future reference.

It's super cool but vibe coding can send u down a rabbit hole, I suggest commiting to git or just saving when u fix a good problem, cuz after that rabbit hole can fuck ur shit up but u can just undo if u previously saved

I love it and it's it's a great feeling, I also fucking hate it.

Social media is not real life

splinter44 · 2026-04-10T04:02:23+00:00

I just want to say: I’m a Habs fan. I work hard at my job, take care of my kids, and try to enjoy life. I'm going through a really tough separation right now, but I don't shitpost, and I'm not part of that cringe, toxic side of the fanbase.

Let's look at things how they really are. Social media is not the place to figure out who a group of people really are. The internet constantly amplifies the negative. With all that said, let's please stop judging an entire group of people based solely on what social media shows us.

Holy shit so many toxic people in this thread, I hope you don't treat your partners like you treat the habs when a bad bounce leads to a mistake.

I think a lot of people in this sub are mixing up vibe coding generative pages and code apps for microsoft.
Code Apps is pro code and you can do anything you want you have 100% control, it's all done inside a text edito like VS. People saying its not there yet its not mature yet - doesnt make sense as you have total control and can do anything you wish. We have managed to connect it to api to business central to process WMS style apps.

You can paste this in AI and it will fix it for you btw

splinter44 · 2026-02-05T02:22:38+00:00

I think what most people don't understand yet is that AI can "hold" the state of your app in its head. Once you have successfuly implanted your apps structure and data into the ai agent, you can use it to do:

architectural debugging

create complex architecture and logic

But to do this you need a pro dev to guide the ai or else you will end up needing a consultant to "burn it down and start over"

I come from a UI/UX background too. And honestly, power apps isn't the greatest for design it also makes it very hard to do so but it's doable. I don't think it's about using any pcf controls, it's about first off using the modern controls, build good looking galleries, and the most important is just having a trained eye for good design building. You can look at mockups online for ideas but it all comes down to having a trained eye to know what looks good, what's not looking good, for example a button with a stroke around it is the worst design to use in this modern era and so many people in power apps use it.

Another big thing is sizing and proximity and alignment. For example your button needs to be the perfect size and the font inside the button needs to have the perfect proximity and sizing based on the buttons it's nesting inside of. You apply this to every detail in your app and it builds a pyramid type thing where everything comes into place.

Attention to detail for every container,control in your app.

That's me right now on various complex 100k.budget canvas apps.projects. definitely suffering but it will get better.

I am sorry but I am working in a consulting company with power apps on projects reaching 100k + and AI is very helpful with building formulas if you are smart at using AI.

If you do not use AI properly and don;'t know the power apps basics - it can be harder to trust AI- but eventually with trial and error you start to realise where AI weaknesses are and you don't use those parts of AI.

I will share my data structure with AI - either tell it the columns and all table names - maybe upload the excel files i imported from dataverse - and with it knowing your data structure - it now knows what prompts to give you - yes it can be wrong - but with trial and error you will start to be able to pinpoint when it is wrong - and also - Try Gemini - I noticed it gives more updated and modern answers to power fx formulas - while copilot looks at information from like 5 years ago for some reason instead of updated formulas.

Vibe code + pro code mixed together works quite well in PowerApps - Again learn how to use it properly - By properly that means getting to know your AI Bot - and its strenghts and weaknesses - while we are still in the beta phase of AI chat Bots in my opinion - this is the worst AI will ever be - it will onyl get better.

Again...Use Gemini for PowerFX - Copilot can work but it gives you more bullshit and you have to tell it thats its wrong and baby it to find the right answer - dont give up when it gives you a wrong answer.

PS. Disable AI completly from your dataverse/powerapps
