Invoke Apex Controller from Lightning Web Component | Lightning Web Component inside Another LWC

Lightning Web Components are announced as part of Spring19 pre-release. In out last most we talk about how to create first Lightning Web Component. In This post we will talk about how Invoke Apex Controller From Lightning Web Component and how many way we have to call apex class from LWC. 

Call Apex Class / Method:-

Lightning web components can import methods from Apex classes into the JavaScript classes using ES6 import.

import apexMethod from '@salesforce/apex/Namespace.Classname.apexMethod';

• apexMethod—This identifies the Apex method name.
• Classname— The Apex class name.
• Namespace—The namespace of the Salesforce organization

After importing the apex class method you can able call the apex methods as functions into the component by calling either via the wire service or imperatively. We have three way to call Apex method

1. Wire a property
2. Wire a function
3. Call a method imperatively.

How to call an Apex class from a Lightning Web component (#LWC) | Invoke Apex Controller from Lightning Web Component | imperatively

Welcome in Lightning Web Components world. Last time we talk about how to create first Lightning Web Component and how to configure VsCode with Salesforce CLI.

We know how to Invoke Apex Class from lightning Component. So Today we will talk about how to invoke apex class from Lightning Web Component.

Finally get some time to play with LWC. Let see how to create LWC to Search a Account Record.

Step 1) Create Apex Class to Search Record.
 

public with sharing class AccountController {
    @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true)
    public static List<Account> findAccounts(String searchKey) {
        String key = '%' + searchKey + '%';
        return [SELECT Id, Name, AccountNumber FROM Account WHERE Name LIKE :key  LIMIT 10];
    }
}

Create on Apex Class with @AuraEnabled annotation and method must be static.

Step 2) Create Lightning Web Component in VsCode. IF you don't know how check here.

SearchAccountRecord.html

<template>
    <lightning-card title="Search Account" icon-name="custom:custom57">
        <div class="slds-m-around_medium">
            <lightning-input type="search" onchange={handleKeyChange} class="slds-m-bottom_small" label="Search"></lightning-input>
            <template if:true={accounts}>
                <template for:each={accounts} for:item="acc">
                    <li key={acc.Id}>
                        {acc.Name}
                        {acc.AccountNumber}
                    </li>
                </template>
            </template>
        </div>
    </lightning-card>
</template>

• <lightning-input is replacement of lightning:input in .
• <template if:true is used for checking if condition.
• <template for:each for Iteration.

SearchAccountRecord.js

import { LightningElement, track } from 'lwc';
import findAccounts from '@salesforce/apex/AccountController.findAccounts';

/** The delay used when debouncing event handlers before invoking Apex. */
const DELAY = 350;

export default class SearchAccountRecord extends LightningElement {
    @track accounts;
    @track error;
    handleKeyChange(event) {
        // Debouncing this method: Do not actually invoke the Apex call as long as this function is
        // being called within a delay of DELAY. This is to avoid a very large number of Apex method calls.
        window.clearTimeout(this.delayTimeout);
        const searchKey = event.target.value;
        // eslint-disable-next-line @lwc/lwc/no-async-operation
        this.delayTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
            findAccounts({ searchKey })
                .then(result => {
                    this.accounts = result;
                    this.error = undefined;
                })
                .catch(error => {
                    this.error = error;
                    this.accounts = undefined;
                });
        }, DELAY);
    }
}

• "import findAccounts from '@salesforce/apex/AccountController.findAccounts'" is used to get apex class.

SearchAccountRecord.js-meta.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LightningComponentBundle xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata" fqn="SearchAccountRecord">
     <apiVersion>45.0</apiVersion>
    <isExposed>false</isExposed>
    <targets>
        <target>lightning__AppPage</target>
        <target>lightning__RecordPage</target>
        <target>lightning__HomePage</target>
    </targets>
</LightningComponentBundle>

• <targets> is used to to mention where we can use this LWC component

Output :-

Feel Free to share your feedback. I know we can do lots of improvement in this code. I hope this is not a bad start :)
