Build, design, and style beautiful and informative applications on the Salesforce Lightning platform

Key Features

• Build and test Lightning components that enhance application usability and adaptability
• Apply security best practices to your custom Lightning components
• Design Lightning components for Salesforce UIs such as Lightning pages, the Salesforce1 application, and communities

Book Description

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 Lightning component architecture. In the initial chapters, you'll cover the basics of Lightning Component Framework semantics and syntax. You'll then delve into the security features provided by Locker Service, which forms an integral part of the Salesforce model and works to prevent components from accessing data from other components in different namespaces. You'll also cover the use of third-party libraries inside Lightning Components and understand the rich functionalities they have to offer. The later chapters will focus on debugging, performance tuning, and testing using Lightning testing services, which will then help you to make Lightning Components ready for publishing on Salesforce AppExchange.

By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to design and build components on your own to meet custom component needs.

What you will learn

• Understand Lightning component architecture
• Study locker security best practices
