Lightning Component Creation (Account List Example)

Hi,
This example explains you how to create a component and place the same into the Lightning app.

To create a Lignting Component we have different tools . For now we are going to use developer console to create Component.

Navigation:





Give Name "AccountsComponent"
After click on "Submit" you can get the Component with Lightning Bundle at right Panel.




Now create an apex class(Server Side Controller)  with "@Auraenabled" methods which will be used in the above component.

Controller:
public with sharing class B_Lightning_AccountCls {
     @Auraenabled
       public static List<Account> retrieveAccounts(){
                    List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();
accountList = [select id,name,AnnualRevenue,Industry,Website  from Account limit 5];
                   return accountList;
}
}

Now include the controller in the component by using "controller" attribute.

<aura:component controller="B_Lightning_AccountCls">
</aura:component>

Use <aura:atrribute> tag to hold the values from the javascript controller .

<aura:attribute name="Accounts" type="Account[]"/>


Here the "init" handler  used for performing action when component initialized.

<aura:handler name="init" action="{!c.myAction}" value="this"/> 



Here "myAction" is  a method in "controller" which we can create from the "controller" in lightning bundle  .
Component Code:

<aura:component controller="B_Lightning_AccountCls">
    <ltng:require styles="{!$Resource.Lightning_slds+'/assets/styles/salesforce-lightning-design-system.css'}"/>
     <ltng:require styles="{!$Resource.Lightning_slds+'/assets/styles/salesforce-lightning-design-system.min.css'}"/>
    <aura:attribute name="Accounts" type="Account[]"/>
      <aura:handler name="init" action="{!c.myAction}" value="this"/>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="slds">
            <br/> 
            <ul class="slds-has-dividers--around-space">
                <li class="slds-item">
                    <div class="slds-tile slds-tile__detail">
                      <strong>Accounts Info</strong>
                     </div>
              </li>
                <aura:iteration  items="{!v.Accounts}" var="accountObj">
                     <li class="slds-item">
                        <div class="slds-tile slds-tile--board">
                          <p class="slds-truncate" title="Anypoint Connectors"><a href="javascript:void(0);">{!accountObj.Name}</a></p>
                          <div class="slds-tile__detail slds-text-body--small">
                            <p class="slds-text-heading--medium">{!accountObj.AnnualRevenue}</p>
                            <p class="slds-truncate"><a href="javascript:void(0);">{!accountObj.Website}</a></p>
                            <p class="slds-truncate">{!accountObj.Industry}</p>
                          </div>
                        </div>
                    </li>
                </aura:iteration>
            </ul>            
        </div>
    </div>
</aura:component>

Click on "Controller" to create method.



Controller Code:

({
myAction : function(component, event, helper) {
var  action = component.get("c.retrieveAccounts");
        action.setCallback(component,function(data){
            component.set("v.Accounts",data.getReturnValue());
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
}
})

var  action = component.get("c.retrieveAccounts"); //This is used for invoking the method 

Now we have completed component creation.

Now create a lighning app to see our output:

Navigation:


Now Give Name "AccountsApp" for application:




Click on Submit  and then we can see app with the following tag:

Now include your component by using "<c:componentName/>
<aura:application>
    <c:AccountsComponent/>
</aura:application>

Note the if we are creating package use package namespace in the place of "c" for specifying the component.
Eg:<baluPackage:AccountsComponent/>

Here baluPckage is the name space.

To see your out put click on "Preview" in the Application right panel as shown below.




Output:
