I know, there have been more important things to do this morning (sport, meditation, groceries…) but I couldn’t stop myself.
I really wanted to finish “Advanced Search” for Easy-CPQ. It supports now: Search, sort and buttons.
What I learned:
1) Copy UX as much as possible, don’t be smart
-> I tried to come up with something smart. Wasn’t smart at all. I used the standard product select screen as a template in the end.
2) Modularize everything
-> No module too small, I’ll thank myself later
3) Define “closed” methods instead of passing values between components in LWC
-> I lost a lot of time here debugging my unstable connections before I refactored the communication between components.
“The module has been given a well-defined, stable description”
4) Having a solid foundation in APEX makes everything so much easier
-> I already had nicely defined APEX architecture with open-closed methods to be used. The APEX part was done in a few hours.
5) Event propagation is more complex than I thought
PS: Thanks to Darshan Farswan amazing template it was way quicker than I thought.
