How to include a screen flow in a Lightning Web Component

 Hi,

Assume  you have a flow called "Quick Contact Creation" and API Name for the same is "Quick_Contact_Creation".

To include the above flow in your component ,  set the lightning-flow component's flowApiName attribute to the name of the flow that you want to use. The component includes navigation buttons (Back, Next, Pause, and Finish), for users to navigate within the flow.

Eg:

<template>
    <lightning-flow
        flow-api-name='Quick_Contact_Creation'>
    </lightning-flow>
</template>

HTML Template Directives (lwc:if|elseif={expression} and lwc:else)

 Hi,

A directive is a special attribute that adds dynamic behavior to an HTML template. You can use certain directives on a root <template> tag, a nested <template> tag, or an HTML element such as a <p> tag. Some directives are supported for use with different tags.

As part of this post we discuss the directives lwc:if | elseif={expression} and lwc:else

Before introducing lwc:if | elseif={expression} and lwc:else we had if:true and if:false

The if:true and if:false directives are no longer recommended. They may be deprecated and removed in the future. Use lwc:iflwc:elseif, and lwc:else instead.

if:true|false={expression} conditionally renders DOM elements in a template, calling the expression for each of if:true and if:false. In cases where you chain if:true and if:false directives, they are not as performant nor as lightweight as the lwc:iflwc:elseif, and lwc:else directives. See Render DOM Elements Conditionally.

The expression can be a JavaScript identifier (for example, person) or dot notation that accesses a property from an object (person.firstName). The engine doesn’t allow computed expressions (person[2].name['John']). To compute the value of expression, use a getter in the JavaScript class.

lwc:if|elseif={expression} and lwc:else 

Conditionally render DOM elements in a template. lwc:iflwc:elseif, and lwc:else supersede the if:true and if:false directives.

Use the conditional directives on nested <template> tags, <div> tags or other HTML elements, and on your custom components tags like <c-custom-cmp>.

Both lwc:elseif and lwc:else must be immediately preceded by a sibling lwc:if or lwc:elseif.

Eg:1

<template lwc:if={expression}></template>

<template lwc:else></template>

Both lwc:if and lwc:elseif must evaluate an expression. However, lwc:else must not have an attribute value.

Eg:2

<template lwc:if={expression}></template>

<template lwc:elseif={expression_elseif1}></template>

<template lwc:elseif={expression_elseif2}></template>

<template lwc:else></template>

The expression passed in to lwc:if and lwc:elseif supports simple dot notation. Complex expressions like !conditionobject?.property?.condition or sum % 2 === 1 aren't supported. To compute such expressions, use a getter in the JavaScript class.

Note

lwc:if, lwc:elseif, and lwc:else can't be applied to the same element and they cannot be combined with the if:true and if:false directives.
