1 year ago Microsoft have open sourced the code for PowerFx, where Power Automate expression is a subset of PowerFxs capabilities.
From a glance, PowerFx implements the same functions (add, sub etc), but using Pascal case instead of camel case.
PowerFx can do more than what is allowed in Power Automate.
- Look into replacing expression engine with PowerFx
- Look into adding an intermediary, to keep the same API as expression engine.
- Is some kind of expression analysis needed, can this be done with a seperate parser.
- How does outputs and variables get handled
- What about the license
It would be nice to switch to focus on executing flows locally, and if Microsoft should make a change and use PowerFx in flows, PAMU is ready 💪
The ExpressionEngine have been extracted from this project and used as a standalone package on other projects, still following the Power Automate Expression format.
The tandalone project have had many updates and is more usable and stable, I will upload the repo later and start the transition.
