Apex Controller Exception Handling in Lightning Component

Biswajeet February 11, 2018 No Comments

When we use an Apex Controller method in lightning JS Controller or Helper, sometimes error occurs on execution of apex method. In lightning response object though the state value comes as ERROR but the message in the error object always says ‘Internal Server Error”. Here is an example to handle the apex exception and how to show custom messages in Lightning Component.

In below example I’ve used Lead object FirstName, LastName, Email & Company Field. In lead object LastName & Company fields are required. If we will submit the form without the required fields, then the apex method will throw the error message, which we can show in lightning component or we can add our custom message there.

Apex Controller:

public class SampleAuraController {
    
    @AuraEnabled
    Public static void createLead(Lead objLead){
        try{
            //Insert Lead Record
            insert objLead; 
        }catch(DmlException e) {
            //get DML exception message
            throw new AuraHandledException(e.getMessage());
        }catch(Exception e){
            //get exception message
            throw new AuraHandledException(e.getMessage());
        }
        finally {
        }
    } 
}

Lightning Component:

<!--Sample.cmp--> 
<aura:component controller="SampleAuraController" implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable">
    
    <!--Declare Attributes-->
    <aura:attribute name="objLead" type="Lead" default="{'sobjectType':'Lead', 
                                                        'FirstName': '',
                                                        'LastName': '',
                                                        'Email': '', 
                                                        'Company': ''}"/>
    
    <!--Component Start-->

            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <lightning:input name="lname" type="text" maxlength="50" label="Last Name" value="{!v.objLead.LastName}" />
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <lightning:input name="emailId" type="email" maxlength="100" label="Email" value="{!v.objLead.Email}" />
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">

    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>

Lightning JS Controller:

({    
    //Handle Lead Save
    handleLeadSave : function(component, event, helper) {
        var objLead = component.get("v.objLead");
        var action = component.get("c.createLead");
        action.setParams({
            objLead : objLead
        });
        action.setCallback(this,function(a){
            var state = a.getState();
            if(state === "SUCCESS"){
                alert('Record is Created Successfully');
            } else if(state === "ERROR"){
                var errors = action.getError();
                if (errors) {
                    if (errors[0] && errors[0].message) {
                        alert(errors[0].message);
                    }
                }
            }else if (status === "INCOMPLETE") {
                alert('No response from server or client is offline.');
            }
        });       
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    }

Get Data From Visualforce Controller Extension Without SOQL Query

Biswajeet December 21, 2017 No Comments

When a Visualforce page is loaded, the fields accessible to the page are based on the fields referenced in the Visualforce markup. But we can use StandardController.addFields(List fieldNames) method, which adds a reference to each field specified in fieldNames so that the controller can explicitly access those fields as well.

public with sharing class AccountControllerExt {
    public Account acc {get; set;}
    
    public AccountControllerExt(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        List<String> accFieldList = new List<String>();
        //Passing a list of field names to the standard controller
        controller.addFields(new List<String>{'Id', 'Name', 'AccountNumber', 'Website', 'Phone','Type', 'Industry'});
        //Standard controller to retrieve the field data of the record
        acc = (Account)controller.getRecord();
    }
}

Padding String in Salesforce Apex

Biswajeet December 21, 2017 No Comments

Left Pad:

leftPad(length): Returns the current String padded with spaces on the left and of the specified length. If length is less than or equal to the current String size, the entire String is returned without space padding.

String name = 'biswa';
String lpName = name.leftPad(8);
System.debug('LeftPad-' + lpName);
System.assertEquals('   biswa', lpName);

leftPad(length, padStr): Returns the current String padded with String padStr on the left and of the specified length. padStr to pad with; if null or empty treated as single blank.

Integer num = 555;
String lpString = String.valueOf(num).leftPad(5, '0');
System.debug('LeftPad-' + lpString);
System.assertEquals('00555', lpString);

Right Pad:

rightPad(length): Returns the current String padded with spaces on the right and of the specified length. If length is less than or equal to the current String size, the entire String is returned without space padding.

String name = 'biswa';
String rpName = name.rightPad(8);
System.debug('RightPad-' + rpName);
System.assertEquals('biswa   ', rpName);

rightPad(length, padStr): Returns the current String padded with String padStr on the right and of the specified length. padStr to pad with; if null or empty treated as single blank.

Integer num = 555;
String rpString = String.valueOf(num).rightPad(5, '0');
System.debug('RightPad-' + rpString);
System.assertEquals('55500', rpString);
