Understanding code components structure and implementation

# Code Components

Code components are a type of solution component that can be included in a solution file and imported into different environments. They can be added to both model-driven and canvas apps.

## Three Core Elements

Code components consist of three elements:

1. **Manifest**
2. **Component implementation**
3. **Resources**

> **Note**: The definition and implementation of code components using Power Apps component framework is the same for both model-driven and canvas apps. The only difference is the configuration part.

## Manifest

The manifest is the `ControlManifest.Input.xml` metadata file that defines a component. It is an XML document that describes:

- The name of the component
- The kind of data that can be configured, either a `field` or a `dataset`
- Any properties that can be configured in the application when the component is added
- A list of resource files that the component needs
