**๐ Shared Instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)** - Cross-cutting concerns.
**References:**
- [dataverse-reference.md](./references/dataverse-reference.md) - Picklist fields, virtual fields, lookups, file/image columns, form patterns (CRITICAL)
- [api-authentication-reference.md](./references/api-authentication-reference.md) - Dataverse API auth, token, publisher prefix
- [table-management-reference.md](./references/table-management-reference.md) - Query, create, extend tables and columns
- [data-architecture-reference.md](./references/data-architecture-reference.md) - Relationship types, dependency tiers
# Add Dataverse
Two paths: **existing tables** (skip to Step 5) or **new tables** (full workflow).
## Workflow
1. Plan โ 2. Setup API Auth โ 3. Review Existing Tables โ 4. Create Tables โ 5. Add Data Source โ 6. Review Generated Files โ 7. Build
---
### Step 1: Plan
Check memory bank for project context. Ask the user:
1. Which Dataverse table(s) do they need? (e.g., `account`, `contact`, `cr123_customentity`)
2. Do the tables **already exist** in their environment, or do they need to **create new** ones?
**If tables already exist:** Skip to Step 5.
**If creating new tables:**
- Ask about the data they need and design an appropriate schema
- Use standard Dataverse tables when appropriate (`contact` for people, `account` for organizations)
- Build a dependency graph -- see [data-architecture-reference.md](./references/data-architecture-reference.md) for tier classification
- Enter plan mode with `EnterPlanMode`, present ER model with tables, columns, relationships, and creation order
- Get approval with `ExitPlanMode`
### Step 2: Setup API Auth (if creating tables)
See [api-authentication-reference.md](./references/api-authentication-reference.md) for full details.
```powershell
az account show # Verify Azure CLI logged in
# Find your Dataverse environment URL:
# In make.powerapps.com โ Settings โ Developer resources โ Web API endpoint
# It looks like: https://<org-name>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/
# Use the base URL: https://<org-name>.crm.dynamics.com
$api = Initialize-DataverseApi -EnvironmentUrl "https://<org>.crm.dynamics.com"
$headers = $api.Headers
$baseUrl = $api.BaseUrl
$publisherPrefix = $api.PublisherPrefix
```
Requires **System Administrator** or **System Customizer** security role.
### Step 3: Review Existing Tables (if creating tables)
**Always query existing tables first before creating:**
```powershell
$existingTables = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/EntityDefinitions?`$filter=IsCustomEntity eq true&`$select=SchemaName,LogicalName,DisplayName" -Headers $headers
```
See [table-management-reference.md](./references/table-management-reference.md) for `Find-SimilarTables`, `Compare-TableSchemas`, and `Build-TableNameMapping` functions.
Present findings to user with `AskUserQuestion`:
- Tables that can be **reused** (already exist with matching columns)
- Tables that need **extension** (exist but missing columns)
- Tables that must be **created** (no match found)
### Step 4: Create Tables (if creating tables)
Get explicit confirmation before creating. Create in dependency order:
- **Tier 0**: Reference tables (no dependencies)
- **Tier 1**: Primary entities (reference Tier 0)
- **Tier 2**: Dependent tables (reference Tier 1)
Use safe functions from [table-management-reference.md](./references/table-management-reference.md):
- `New-DataverseTableIfNotExists`
- `Add-DataverseColumnIfNotExists`
- `Add-DataverseLookupIfNotExists` (from [data-architecture-reference.md](./references/data-architecture-reference.md))
### Step 5: Add Data Source
For each table:
```bash
pa app add data-source --connector dataverse --table <table-logical-name>
```
Can add multiple tables by running the command for each one.
### Step 6: Review Generated Files
The command generates:
- `src/generated/models/{Table}Model.ts` -- TypeScript interfaces, plus `{Table}FileColumnName`, `{Table}ImageColumnName`, `{Table}UploadColumnName` union types if the table has file/image columns
- `src/generated/services/{Table}Service.ts` -- CRUD methods (create, get, getAll, update, delete) plus `upload`, `downloadFile`, `downloadImage`, `deleteFileOrImage` if file/image columns exist
Show the user a usage example:
```typescript
import { AccountsService } from "../generated/services/AccountsService";
const result = await AccountsService.getAll({
select: ["name", "accountnumber"],
filter: "statecode eq 0",
orderBy: ["name asc"],
top: 50
});
const accounts = result.data || [];
```
**Key rules:**
- Use generated services (e.g., `AccountsService.getAll()`), not fetch/axios
- Check `result.data` for actual data
- Don't edit generated files unless needed
- **Read [dataverse-reference.md](./references/dataverse-reference.md) before writing any Dataverse code** -- picklist fields, virtual fields, lookups, and file/image columns all have critical gotchas
### Step 7: Build
```bash
npm run build
```
Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.
### Update Memory Bank
Record which tables were added (or created), generated files, and any schema notes.
