You will want the Xrm.WebApi client API:
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps...

Here are the docs on the methods with the update method selected and sample code:

Thanks for your direction on this Cassie.. I have implemented webapi and tried to create a record . Though i impemented createrecord() after i deployed and got the component into canvas app , It throws an error that CreateRecord method is not implemented. Not sure where did i do the mistake.
