Flow of code in Salesforce Lightning Event
Let’s say we have Component A and Component B and an event E. You want to move from A to B then,
The flow of Code in Lightning Event are:-
Component Event:-
1. Firstly you have to register an event in component A.
2. Fire the event by clicking any button, like onclick=”{!c.fireComponentEvent}”. Controller Code is here:-
{
fireComponentEvent : function(cmp, event) {
// Get the component event by using the
// name value from aura:registerEvent
var cmpEvent = cmp.getEvent(“EventE”);
cmpEvent.setParams({
“message” : “A component event fired me. ” +
“It all happened so fast. Now, I’m here!” });
cmpEvent.fire();
}
}
fireComponentEvent : function(cmp, event) {
// Get the component event by using the
// name value from aura:registerEvent
var cmpEvent = cmp.getEvent(“EventE”);
cmpEvent.setParams({
“message” : “A component event fired me. ” +
“It all happened so fast. Now, I’m here!” });
cmpEvent.fire();
}
}
3. In Event E we have to pass data message so it look like this
<aura:event type=”COMPONENT”>
<aura:attribute name=”message” type=”String”/>
</aura:event>
<aura:attribute name=”message” type=”String”/>
</aura:event>
4. Handle the event in Component B.
<aura:handler name=”EventE” event=”EventE” action=”{!c.handleComponentEvent}”/>
<aura:handler name=”EventE” event=”EventE” action=”{!c.handleComponentEvent}”/>
5. Code for Component B controller:-
{
handleComponentEvent : function(cmp, event) {
var message = event.getParam(“message”);
handleComponentEvent : function(cmp, event) {
var message = event.getParam(“message”);
// set the handler attributes based on event data
cmp.set(“v.messageFromEvent”, message);
}
}
cmp.set(“v.messageFromEvent”, message);
}
}
That’s all for Component Event. Let’s talk about Application Event.
Application Event:-
1. Firstly you have to register an event in component A. Well, in Application event, it is not mandatory to register event but here we are registering the event.
<aura:registerEvent name=”EventE” type=”c:EventE”/>
2. Fire the event by clicking any button, like onclick=”{!c.fireComponentEvent}”. Controller Code is here:-
{
fireApplicationEvent : function(cmp, event) {
// Get the application event by using the
// e.. syntax
var appEvent = $A.get(“e.c:EventE”);
appEvent.setParams({
“message” : “An application event fired me. ” +
“It all happened so fast. Now, I’m everywhere!” });
appEvent.fire();
}
}
fireApplicationEvent : function(cmp, event) {
// Get the application event by using the
// e.
var appEvent = $A.get(“e.c:EventE”);
appEvent.setParams({
“message” : “An application event fired me. ” +
“It all happened so fast. Now, I’m everywhere!” });
appEvent.fire();
}
}
3. In Event E we have to pass data message so it look like this
<aura:event type=”APPLICATION”>
<aura:attribute name=”message” type=”String”/>
</aura:event>
<aura:attribute name=”message” type=”String”/>
</aura:event>
4. Handle the event in Component B.
<aura:handler name=”EventE” event=”EventE” action=”{!c.handleApplicationEvent}”/>
<aura:handler name=”EventE” event=”EventE” action=”{!c.handleApplicationEvent}”/>
5. Code for Component B controller:-
{
handleApplicationEvent : function(cmp, event) {
var message = event.getParam(“message”);
handleApplicationEvent : function(cmp, event) {
var message = event.getParam(“message”);
// set the handler attributes based on event data
cmp.set(“v.messageFromEvent”, message);
}
}
cmp.set(“v.messageFromEvent”, message);
}
}
Thanks.
