Workspace API: How to get Record Id of Enclosing/Parent Tab Hi Folks,  I am back with another blog wherein I will discuss how to use Workspace API to get the Record Id of the Enclosing tab. (Basically the parent tab for the current subtab). Specifically in Salesforce Service Console apps when we click on any lookup value then that record's detail page opens in Subtab mode. For example when we click on Account Name from the Account Lookup field in the Case Record Page then we see that the Account Record Page is opened as a subtab under the current Case Record Page Situations can come where we want the Record Id for both the Account Id and the Case Id.

Importing NPM module into LWC Hi Folks, I am back with another post. This time I will be discussing the topic of how to add an NPM module into LWC.

Using this tool you can just let the package know which JS file is the source file and  Browserify  will do the magic for you and create a single js file. Enough of talking.

Sticky Scroll to Top Button in LWC Hi Folks, This is a very simple requirement but often we get stuck and while googling about it we don't find a solid solution that would directly work in Salesforce LWC. Here I am writing my blog which can be used in your LWC directly, just need to follow the below points. Few points before jumping on to the entire code. We are going to use the Element.scrollTop property to control the scroll bar. This code works if you have a specific Scroll Bar for your element . Meaning you have added a custom scroll bar for your <div> How to do that? First, add a topmost div with a class and an onscroll method which would be able to calculate at which position is your scroll bar is currently. < div class = "top-most-div" onscroll = {onScroll} > <!-- All your other code--> </ div > Add the CSS for the top-container .top-most-div { overflow-y : scroll ; height :80 vh ; scroll-behavior : smooth ; } If you want ...
