Marquee Text In Salesforce Lightning Component

Lightning Component (Sample.cmp):

<!--Sample.cmp--> 
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes">
    <div class="marquee">
        <p>
            <a title="Welcome to Biswajeet Samal's Blog" href="http://biswajeetsamal.com/blog" target="_blank">Welcome to Biswajeet Samal's Blog</a>
        </p>
    </div>
</aura:component>

Lightning Component Style (Sample.css):

.marquee.THIS {
    width: 100%;
    line-height: 50px;
    color: white;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background-color: red;
}

.marquee.THIS p {
    display: inline-block;
    padding-left: 100%;
    animation: marquee 20s linear infinite;
    font-size:30px;
}

@keyframes marquee {
    0%   { transform: translate(0, 0); }
    100% { transform: translate(-100%, 0); }

Custom Validation For Lightning Field Value in Lightning

Component :

<aura:component>    
    <div class="slds-m-around--xx-large">
        <div class="slds-form--stacked">
            <div class="slds-form-element">

Component JS Controller :

({
    validateAge : function(component, event, helper) {
        var inputAge = component.find('inputAge');
        var ageValue = inputAge.get('v.value');
        if(parseInt(ageValue) < 18){
            inputAge.set("v.errors", [{message:"Age should be more than 18...!!"}]);
            return;
        }

Pagination JavaScript Controller:
Now create below JavaScript PaginationController.js controller for above Pagination.cmp component.

({
    doInit: function (component, event, helper) {
        // Set the columns of the Table 
        component.set('v.isSending',true);
        component.set('v.columns', [

    },
    previous: function (component, event, helper) {
        helper.previous(component, event);
    }
})

Pagination JavaScript Controller Helper:
Now create below JavaScript PaginationHelper.js helper for above PaginationController.js component.

({

     * Initially this Method will be called and will fetch the records from the Salesforce Org 
     * Then we will hold all the records into the attribute of Lightning Component

            if(sObjectList.length > i){

        component.set("v.endPage",end);
        component.set('v.PaginationList', Paginationlist);
    }
})

Pagination Apex Controller:
Create below apex controller to use it in Pagination.cmp component.

public class PaginationController {
    @AuraEnabled
    public static List<Contact> getContacts(){
        List<Contact> contactList = new List<Contact>();
        contactList = [SELECT Id, Name, Email, Phone From Contact LIMIT 50];
        return contactList;
    }
}

Pagination App:

<!--PaginationApp.app-->
<aura:application extends="force:slds">
    <c:Pagination />    
</aura:application>

Output:

        var action1 = component.get("c.firstAction");
        action1.setCallback(this, function(response){

SVG in Lightning Component Bundle

SVG resource is to define a custom icon for the lightning component when it appears in the Lightning App Builder’s component pane. SVG icons is used in Salesforce Lightning App Builder or Community Builder.

Here is a lightning component with default SVG icon:

Sample Component:

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes">
    <strong>Sample Component</strong>
</aura:component>

The default SVG icon looks like below:

Edit the SVG for custom SVG icon of above “Sample” lightning component: To customize the default SVG, click SVG in the component sidebar of the Developer Console.

Custom Sample Component SVG icon: Here I’ve changed the custom SVG icon to a rectangle filled with blue color. You can change it to as per your requirement.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

	<rect width="400" height="300" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:3;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)" />
</svg>

The custom SVG icon looks like below:
