Using React 19 in Power Apps PCF Components

While working on a recent PCF (Power Apps Component Framework) project, I experimented with using React 19—and it worked surprisingly well.

If you're considering a similar setup, I wrote a post breaking down what the integration looked like, what worked, and what needed a few tweaks.

In the article, I cover:

• Setting up a React 19 + TypeScript environment inside a PCF control
• Handling JSX, props, and lifecycle events cleanly
• A small tsconfig change that helps VS Code behave as expected

If you're building custom components for Power Apps and want more control over structure and UI, this approach is worth exploring.

I'd love to hear how others are structuring modern PCF projects—or what your component stack looks like.
