Lightning Components  Overview

What are Lightning Components?  Overview and Key Features

§  Part of the Salesforce Lightning framework

§  Are Self-contained and reusable functional units of an app

§ Reusable section of the UI

§ Rendered as HTML DOM elements in browsers

§  Exposes their Definitions

§ Attributes passing

§  Has a Encapsulated Implementation

§ Component Bundle

§  HTML,CSS & Javascript

§  Communicate with Events

Where you can use Lightning Components?

§  Standalone Applications

§  Independent of SF1

§  Lightning Components for Salesforce1

§  Individually

§  In combination with others by Lightning App Builder

§  Customize Salesforce1 with Lightning Extensions (Pilot)

§ Override SF1 tabs and fields with your own component

 Components Usage

Apex Controller

External Rest API

Demo: Lightning Component Example

§  @AuraEnabled Annotation

§ Declares the public method to be call from a Javascript Controller

§  Salesforce REST APIs must be consumed ONLY from an Apex Class, and not from JS the controller.

§ Making AJAX calls are not possible due Lightning Components and Salesforce REST server are in different domains.

§  Example:

For REST callouts Apex On the Server Side

§  Specifies the URL of a callout endpoint and its required authentication parameters in one definition.

§  In Setup | Security Controls | Named Credentials.

§  Supports basic password authentication and OAuth 2.0.

§  Apex code usage sample:

Using Named Credentials Apex On the Server Side

Demo: Enabling Apex class for making REST callouts from Lighting Components

§  To make the Apex Class visible, ‘controller’ attribute has to be set with the name of the class.

§  component.get("c.myMethod”); for calling Apex Methods from controllers.

For Apex Interaction Javascript On the Client Side

Demo: Javascript controller for triggering REST Callouts by an Apex Class

Deploying to Salesforce1

§  Implements=“force:hostable”

§ This attribute has to be set in the component so as to enable it in Salesforce1

§  Lightning Components Tabs

§  Mobile Administration

§ For setting new Lightning Component tabs
