Creating the project

When working with PCF, the Power Apps CLI is responsible for creating your component's project structure. It also manages the project's packaging into a solution to deploy it on the Power Platform environments.

This command-line tool also performs other tasks, such as the following:

• Managing plug-in projects, which harness the event framework of Dataverse
• Handling authentication to deploy solutions to the Power Platform environments directly from the command line

Please refer to the official documentation to discover these and other functionalities: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/powerapps-cli#common-commands

Once we have the project's structure in place, we need to configure the manifest. This file defines your component by describing its metadata with information such as the name, version, properties, or required resources.
