How to build a model-driven app


Model-driven apps:-

        Model-driven apps start with your data model – building up from the shape of your core 

business data and processes in the Dataverse to model forms, views, and other components.

Model-driven apps automatically generate great UI that is responsive across devices.


        Model-driven app design doesn’t require code and the apps you make can be simple or very complex. 

With model-driven apps, much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app.
