Understanding Actions

[ezrafischer]

Hi,

I'm looking for more documentation on creating custom actions in the EnhancedLightningGrid. I'm specifically trying to create a row button on an Order Line Item that lets a user edit just the quantity field on that OrderItem.

Thanks, Ezra

Hi,

you need to create a custom event and triggered it using the following:

Event:

<aura:event type="APPLICATION" description="CustomEventName">
</aura:event>

Row Button, e.g.: Event: e.c:CustomEventName Payload:

{
"objectId":"#Id#",
"parentObjectId":"#parentrecordId#",
"otherStuff":"otherAttribute"
}

Custom Component placed anywhere on the page:

<aura:component description="Custom_Actions"
              implements="flexipage:availableForRecordHome,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:hasRecordId"
                access="global">
    <aura:handler event="c:CustomEventName" action="{!c.handleApplicationEvent}"/>
</aura:component>

JS Controller:

({
    handleApplicationEvent: function (cmp, event) {

        var parentObjectId = event.getParam("parentObjectId");
        var objectId = event.getParam("objectId"); 
        var otherStuff = event.getParam("otherStuff"); 

//DO STH. HERE, e.g. record form with the 2 fields you need to change and pop it open in a modal.

    }
})
