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.

Summary


In this chapter, we covered how to create Lightning layouts in depth. Using an example of a Lightning Component, we learned how to write JavaScript controllers, helpers, and how to wire client-side JavaScript controllers to backend Apex programs to send data to the server and handle responses. In the next chapter, we will dig further into various methods, functions, and APIs that come out of the box with the Lightning Component framework.
