[SalesForce] How to redirect between lightning components in communities

I have 2 components that I wish to use in a lightning community.

The first component produces a list of records and if the user clicks on the name of the record i want to redirect them to another lightning component.

Here's the code I'm using to redirect and it works when not in the community

    newRedirect: function (component, event, helper) {    
    console.log('get ready to navigate');
    var navService = component.find("navService");
    var pageReference = {
        "type": "standard__component",
        "attributes": {
            "componentName": "CS_Inventory_v2"
        }, 
        "state": {}
    };

    navService.navigate(pageReference);

}

It feels like I'm missing a setting…….

Couple of things:

This pageReference feature is supported only in Salesforce Lightning and the Salesforce Mobile App. It does not work for components that are embedded in a flexipage.

Neither does it state supporting lightning communities.

If the component is in the same community page, you might have to add your components in a wrapper component and manage the logic in it using lightning events.

If the initial list component is on 1 page, and the other is in on another, then you will have to use lightning Navigate ToURL event to navigate between views.

Just try to do it with directly from controller. No need to use in helper. Also try to send event to helper as params.

gotoURL : function (component) {    
    $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL").setParams({ 
       "url": "/006/o" 
    }).fire();
}

[SalesForce] Issue in using wrapper class variable in Lightning component

Seems like you want to call an apex method from lightning front end controller. What you missing is the apex method, simply by having getter and setter you won't be able to get the information required to the front end. So in your apex controller have a method as follows,

@AuraEnabled
public static List<item_wrapper> getAllItemWrappers() {
 //here you need to implement what you have done inside your constructor.
 // and return the item wrappers
}

Then in your front end lightning controller. Where you setup the action, do

var action = component.get("c.getAllItemWrappers");

instead of,

var action = component.get("c.items_to_approve");
