1.

Component Basics

• Component Structure: LWC components consist of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and


metadata files.

• File Naming and Organization: Understanding the naming conventions and


proper organization of component files.

• Metadata Configuration: The .js-meta.xml file defines the component's visibility


and target use cases.

2. Data Binding

• Two-Way Data Binding: Binding component properties to the DOM and vice
versa (e.g., @track for reactive properties).

• One-Way Data Binding: Data flowing from parent to child components using
properties.

• @api: Exposing properties and methods for interaction with parent components.

• @track: Reactive tracking of properties to update the DOM automatically when


the data changes.

• @wire: Fetching data from Salesforce services (e.g., Apex, Lightning Data
Service).

3. Component Lifecycle

• Lifecycle Hooks: Methods that run during different stages of the component's
lifecycle, such as constructor(), connectedCallback(), renderedCallback(), and
disconnectedCallback().

4. Events

• Custom Events: Communication between components via custom events.

• Event Handling: Dispatching and listening for events in parent and child
components.

• Event Propagation: Managing event propagation (bubbling or capturing).

• Event Data: Passing data through events via detail.

5. Data Access

• Apex Integration: Using @wire and imperative calls to interact with Salesforce
Apex methods.

• Lightning Data Service (LDS): Simplified access to Salesforce objects for CRUD
operations.
• SOQL & SOSL: Writing and using Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) and
Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) to retrieve data.

6. Styling

• SLDS (Salesforce Lightning Design System): Predefined styles for Salesforce


components.

• Scoped CSS: Applying component-specific styles using the component’s


shadow DOM.

• CSS Customization: Customizing the look and feel of components while


following best practices.

7. Navigation

• Navigation Service: Using lightning/navigation to navigate within the Salesforce


environment.

• Dynamic Page Navigation: Redirecting users to record pages, app pages, or


URLs dynamically.

8. Testing

• Unit Testing with Jest: Writing and running tests for LWC components using Jest
framework.

• Mocking Data: Simulating data for tests using mock data and wire adapters.

• Test Coverage: Ensuring that your components are tested and meet required
code coverage thresholds.

9. Deployment & Configuration

• Salesforce CLI: Using Salesforce CLI for deploying LWC components and
managing metadata.

• Component Visibility: Configuring which pages the component can be used on


(e.g., Record Page, App Page, Home Page).

• App Page, Record Page, and Home Page: Understanding where to deploy and
use components in the Salesforce app.

10. Advanced Concepts

• Lightning Message Service (LMS): A messaging framework that allows


components to communicate across the DOM, even when they are not directly
related.
• Dynamic Components: Dynamically loading and rendering components at
runtime.

• Composition: Building complex UIs by composing smaller, reusable


components.

• Public and Private Methods: Controlling access to methods via @api (public)
and regular methods (private).

11. Performance Optimization

• Lazy Loading: Loading components or data only when necessary to reduce the
initial load time.

• Efficient DOM Updates: Minimizing DOM manipulations for better performance.

• Reducing Apex Calls: Optimizing server calls and using caching strategies when
fetching data.

12. Security

• Locker Service: Salesforce’s security mechanism to protect the integrity and


security of components by enforcing security restrictions on JavaScript and
DOM.

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Protecting against XSS vulnerabilities and ensuring


secure handling of user inputs.

• Content Security Policy (CSP): Configuring and ensuring components adhere to


Salesforce’s CSP.
