Enhanced Component Properties In Canvas Apps
Properties are still input or output properties, you can still define arguments.
There are four types of properties available to makers:
Data properties:
Data properties pertain to data, like a color or text value. A Data property can be set to be Input or Output, which indicates if the component provides data to the app (Output) or the app provides data to the component (Input). Data properties are the only properties that participate in app data flow.
Function properties:
Function properties are related to logic, such as performing a calculation based on specific parameters or altering text. A Function property can be set to be Input or Output, which indicates if the component provides a function the app can call (Output), or the app provides a function the component can call (Input). Function properties do not participate in an app's data flow, and cannot use component or app variables.
Action properties:
Action properties are a type of property that deals with logic and behaves like an Output Function. Thus, the component has the logic defined, and that logic can use chained expressions and manipulate collections or variables ("behavior"). For example, a Clear() Action property could provide functionality the app can call to clear out some values in the component, or a Save() Action property that updates a datasource.
Event properties:
Event properties are a category of property that involves logic and functions as an Input Function. Thus, the app defines the logic, which the component can call and that logic can use chained expressions and manipulate collections or variables ("behavior"). Typically these properties' names reflect an event such as OnSelect or OnChanged.
