This blog will be explaining how to use component event in lightning component by implementing simple search application for Accounts. There are two types of events Component Event : Component event can be handled by any component which is above event firing component in the containment hierarchy. It is best practice to always try to use component event, if possible. Component events can only be handled by components above them in the containment hierarchy so their usage is more localized to the components that need to know about them. Application Event : Application event can be handled by any component where handler is provided. Application event is used where components are different parts of application and there is no containment hierarchy. Lets implement simple searching application with two components and communicate between components by a component event. We have following components and events. 1) eventAccount (event): This is a component eve...

This blog is a continuation of ‘Dispalying Data Table in Lightning'.  If you haven't read that blog and want to read click here . In that blog we simply queried Accounts and displayed on lightning component.    The Salesforce Lightning component framework uses a stateful client and stateless server architecture. So we need to take a slightly different approach to do pagination than traditional VF. In order to maintain the value of offset. This is how we are doing. In Server Side Controller: We have a wrapper class AccountWrapper which wraps Accounts need to be displayed in accList, hasNext, hasPrev and offset. Server side action returns instance of AccountWrapper. In Client Side Controller : We have 4 action functions       1)  doinit  : This action function invokes on page load. Querying accounts with default page size.       2)     prev  : This action function invokes after pressing Pre...

   In salesforce there are 2 ways to achieve pagination. 1) Using StandardSetController (Limitation : To instantiate              StandardSetController we can query up to 10000 records using query     locator.   Querying more than 10000 records causes a LimitException to     be thrown.     However by passing list of more than 10000 records we can instantiate     StandardSetController, again holding more records in the List and instantiate StandardSetController can reach heap size. ) 2) Using OFFSET in SOQL query (Limitation : We can skip max 2000     records using OFFSET which means we cannot do pagination by using     OFFSET if the query skips more than 2000 records. Skipping more than     2000 records causes "Maximum SOQL offset allowed is 2000 error" . )         Here is a new way...
