Salesforce Lightning Aura Method

Biswajeet   February 18, 2018   No Comments on Salesforce Lightning Aura Method

Use aura:method to define a method as part of a component’s API. This enables you to directly call a method in a component’s client-side controller instead of firing and handling a component event. Using aura:method simplifies the code needed for a parent component to call a method on a child component that it contains.

Child Component:

<!--Child.cmp-->
<aura:component >
    <aura:method name="messageMethod" action="{!c.getMessage}" access="public">
        <aura:attribute name="param1" type="String" default="Hello"/> 
        <aura:attribute name="param2" type="String" default="World"/> 
    </aura:method>
</aura:component>

Child Component JS Controller:

({
    getMessage : function(component, event) {
        //get method paramaters
        var params = event.getParam('arguments');
        if (params) {
            var param1 = params.param1;
            var param2 = params.param2;
            alert(param1 + " " + param2);
        }
    }
})

Parent Component:

<!--Parent.cmp-->
<aura:component>    
    <div class="slds-m-around_xx-large">
        <!-- Child Component -->
        <c:Child aura:id="childCmp"/>
        <!-- On button click child aura:method will be called-->
        <lightning:button variant="brand" label="Call Aura Method" onclick="{!c.callAuraMethod}" />
    </div>
</aura:component>

Parent Component JS Controller:

({
    callAuraMethod : function(component, event, helper) {
        //Call Child aura method
        var childComponent = component.find("childCmp");
        var message = childComponent.messageMethod();
    }
})

Apex Controller Exception Handling in Lightning Component

Biswajeet   February 11, 2018   No Comments on Apex Controller Exception Handling in Lightning Component

When we use an Apex Controller method in lightning JS Controller or Helper, sometimes error occurs on execution of apex method. In lightning response object though the state value comes as ERROR but the message in the error object always says ‘Internal Server Error”. Here is an example to handle the apex exception and how to show custom messages in Lightning Component.

In below example I’ve used Lead object FirstName, LastName, Email & Company Field. In lead object LastName & Company fields are required. If we will submit the form without the required fields, then the apex method will throw the error message, which we can show in lightning component or we can add our custom message there.

Apex Controller:

public class SampleAuraController {
    
    @AuraEnabled
    Public static void createLead(Lead objLead){
        try{
            //Insert Lead Record
            insert objLead; 
        }catch(DmlException e) {
            //get DML exception message
            throw new AuraHandledException(e.getMessage());
        }catch(Exception e){
            //get exception message
            throw new AuraHandledException(e.getMessage());
        }
        finally {
        }
    } 
}

Lightning Component:

<!--Sample.cmp--> 
<aura:component controller="SampleAuraController" implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable">
    
    <!--Declare Attributes-->
    <aura:attribute name="objLead" type="Lead" default="{'sobjectType':'Lead', 
                                                        'FirstName': '',
                                                        'LastName': '',
                                                        'Email': '', 
                                                        'Company': ''}"/>
    
    <!--Component Start--> 
    <div class="slds-m-around--xx-large">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="form-group">
                <lightning:input name="fname" type="text" maxlength="50" label="First Name" value="{!v.objLead.FirstName}" />
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <lightning:input name="lname" type="text" maxlength="50" label="Last Name" value="{!v.objLead.LastName}" />

            <div class="form-group">

            <div class="form-group">

    </div>
    <!--Component End-->

Lightning JS Controller:

({    
    //Handle Lead Save
    handleLeadSave : function(component, event, helper) {
        var objLead = component.get("v.objLead");
        var action = component.get("c.createLead");
        action.setParams({
            objLead : objLead
        });
        action.setCallback(this,function(a){
            var state = a.getState();
            if(state === "SUCCESS"){
                alert('Record is Created Successfully');
            } else if(state === "ERROR"){
                var errors = action.getError();
                if (errors) {
                    if (errors[0] && errors[0].message) {
                        alert(errors[0].message);
                    }
                }
            }else if (status === "INCOMPLETE") {
                alert('No response from server or client is offline.');
            }
        });       
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
