It is always important and one of the consistent tasks for teams to maintain and keep their Org Health in check.

Investing in cleaning and validating data helps to avoid the wastage of resources. With the above understanding, I would like to highlight one of the pain points of data that can cause chaos i.e. invalid or bad emails. How does this impact the Salesf ..read more

A couple of years ago, I managed to build a basic tool that was sufficient enough to migrate rich text area fields within the orgs. Complexity around rich text area fields was to migrate images along with the content so I built an AppExchange (DEPRECATED) package to help me & others in this situation. I recently had to do a similar thing & found out that there are still no good tools that can address this issue completely so I thought I will pick up my old tool & tweak it to make it working for the latest Salesforce release. As of today, I am opening up this tool and making it pub ..read more

Although Lightning Web Component has its own robust standard lightning:map component to show maps but there is a scope to have a full-fledged map library that can support advanced features as well which are missing in standard components like custom markers, rich popup content & layers. A most common problem with JS libraries is that it is not very well compatible with the Lightning Locker Service. I did some hands-on on certain libraries and I found LeafletJS library to be super easy to use with LWC plus It is fully compatible with Lightning Locker service. Introduction to LeafletJS Leaf ..read more

Hello Everyone, I have been trying to add a pickist in standard Lighting Datatable for a while as picklist type is not supported in Lighting Datatable and I needed it in one of my projects. Out of curiosity, I spent some time investigating on how standard Lightning components can be extended. With some research, I found that LWC standards components can be easily extended as most of them provide interfaces which enables you to write extra logic on top of existing functionality. By going through couple of articles on forums, I am able to extend the standard Lightning Datatable with my new cust ..read more

Hello Guys, In this post, I am going to share a component which I built while learning LWC(Lightning Web Components). This is a simple LWC component with most logic handled by Apex. I am very pleased the way Salesforce is promoting LWC as it is very light to use and covers all best practices by running on top of typescript. This means it is market standard and people don't need to learn any other language specifically if they are familiar with typescript. While playing, I choose to build a sample tree component which I think is useful when we need a 360 view for a record or we need to see the ..read more
