Learning Salesforce Lightning Application Development

By: Mohit Shrivatsava

Overview of this book

Built on the Salesforce App Cloud, the new Salesforce Lightning Experience combines three major components: Lightning Design System, Lightning App Builder, and Lightning Components, to provide an enhanced user experience. This book will enable you to quickly create modern, enterprise apps with Lightning Component Framework. You will start by building simple Lightning Components and understanding the Lightning Components architecture. The chapters cover the basics of Lightning Component Framework semantics and syntax, the security features provided by Locker Service, and use of third-party libraries inside Lightning Components. The later chapters focus on debugging, performance tuning, testing using Lightning Testing Services, and how to publish Lightning Components on Salesforce AppExchange.

Summary


Now that we are familiar with Lightning Experience, the Lightning Component framework architecture, and the Lightning Design System, we are ready to dive deep and explore the Lightning Component framework further.

Let's also address the question of why we should invest time in learning this framework. The primary reason for learning this framework is that to customize Lightning Experience or Lightning pages, we will need to build custom Lightning Components. Also, as we will see later, the Lightning Component framework can be used to build Salesforce communities. It can also be used to build chatter extensions, Salesforce extensions for Outlook, and extensions in other Salesforce products.

In the next chapter, we will explore how to use Salesforce DX and an IDE to set up our development workflow for source-driven development.
