Learning Salesforce Lightning Application Development

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.

Using Expression syntax


The syntax for the Expression is {!expression}. The Expression syntax can be used inside the Component Markup. Let's take a look at the following table to see the syntax for Expressions in different scenarios:

Expression Example

Syntax

Example Code

Expression to reference a value from an attribute

{!v.attributeName}

<aura:component>
    <aura:attribute name="searchString" type="String" default="lighnting components"/>

    <p>{!v.searchString}</p>
</aura:component>

Expression for calling client-side controller actions

{!c.handleClick}

<Lightning:button label="Framework Button" onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/>

The client-side JavaScript controller will be as following


({
    handleClick : function(component, event) {

    }
})

Expression operator

The operators supported are listed in the standard docs. Please refer to: https://developer.Salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.Lightning.meta/Lightning/expr_operators.htm
