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

In this chapter, we covered various code snippets in order to use custom Lightning Components for Salesforce Mobile and Salesforce communities. Salesforce community templates are a great fit for building online communities, help, and the training portal. They can also be used to provide customers with an online self-service portal to track their case status or order status. In the upcoming chapter, we will explore lightning navigation, the Console API for Lightning Console Apps, and the Utility Bar API.
