[SalesForce] How to redirect to parent window(VF Page) from lightning component

I have scenario like calling a lightning component from VF page. Once value updated in lightning component the value should be update in VF page.

I have used 'window.opener.location.href' in lightning client side controller to redirect to VF page from lightning component. But this event is blocked in lightning.

I have tried another approach in lightning component like:

"<a href="!javascript:top.window.opener.closeCampaignLookup('{!a.id}','','','')">{!acc.Name}</a>"

But could not save lightning component, since getting error like "Cannot mix expression and literal string in attribute value, try rewriting like {!'foo' + v.bar}: "
Please help me on this.

Have you tried to use sforce.one.navigateToURL("/apex/VisualForcePageXYZ?id=" + '{!a.Id}') to redirect to Visualforce page or sforce.one.navigateToSObject('{!a.Id}', 'detail') to redirect to standard detail page.

Lightning mode is detected (sforce.one != undefined). For example:

if(sforce.one != undefined) {
 sforce.one.navigateToURL('/apex/VisualForcePageXYZ?id=' + '{!a.Id}');
}

[SalesForce] Define many function in afterScriptsLoaded in Lightning Component

afterScriptsLoaded event can call only single method as far as I got from the salesforce doc. You can't call multiple method from that event but if you want to call your second method from your first method you can use following code.

Controller.js

({  
generateChart : function(component, event, helper) {

console.log('first script called');
component.secondmethod();
},
readData: function(cmp, event) {
 console.log('second script called');
},

})

component.cmp

<ltng:require scripts="/resource/unid__jQuery,/resource/unid__highchart" afterScriptsLoaded="{!c.generateChart}"/>
<aura:method name="secondmethod" action="{!c.readData}" access="PUBLIC"></aura:method>

[SalesForce] Passing recordId as a parameter to force:canvasApp component

I am answering here with a solution that worked for me in the end in case anyone might find it useful.

Trick was to use an init handler to set the value via the controller:

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:hasRecordId" access="global" >
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>
    <force:canvasApp developerName="RBFS" parameters="{!v.getRecordId}" /> 
</aura:component>

and then in the controller:

doInit : function(cmp) {

    var recordId = cmp.get("v.recordId");
    var output = '{"record": "' + recordId + '"}';
    cmp.set("v.getRecordId", output);

}

This resulted in the parameters being dynamically passed as a JSON string as required.
