[SalesForce] Lightning component auto refresh to view the case record

In Detail-record page, where you can see (activityTracking page and related list) and on header of the page there is new case button to create a new case record.

I have an activityTracking page(lightning component) that display a Child object activity (Tracking of record page)details. Whenever detail page is opened, it automatically retrieve the record ID of that detail page and display those records(Activity) in activity component.

Instead of doing manual refresh, I want it to auto refresh the activityTracking page(lightning component) to view the case record by using NEW CASE button.

ActivityTrackingPage is a lightning component, where I need to write a code for auto refresh process.

Need suggestion please….

The only reasonable route I see here, if the process for creating a Case is not under your control, is for your Lightning component to embed the <lightning:empApi> event streaming service.

You can then either

use the Streaming API to subscribe to notifications about record creation events or
write an Apex trigger that implements custom logic on the creation of your Support Case records to fire a Platform Event, to which the empApi component subscribes.

Your JavaScript callback from the empApi component can then take action to refresh your activity view upon receipt of one of those events.

The only other feasible solutions I see are:

Polling. I wouldn't recommend it.
If and only if the data model permits - that is, if Support Case is a child object in a master-detail relationship - you could create a Roll-Up Summary Field and then use <force:recordData> to watch for change events in the parent object's roll up field, representing creation events for the child object. I think it's unlikely that that applies here.

You are not supposed to give same name to the apex controller's method and the function which is called on click. Also, you should pass event along with the component in the same. Please find the code below:-

Controller:-

save : function(component, event) {                
        var action = component.get("c.apexSave"); 
        action.setCallback(this, function(action) {                
           $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire(); 
        }); 
        $A.enqueueAction(action); 
    }

Note save and apexSave.

The server-side action is also provided by the “c” value provider. This is the same value provider that provides the JavaScript controller event handler which handles the press event of the button and the init event. Because of this, you need to make sure that you do not name your Apex controller methods with the same name as your JavaScript controller methods. It’s easy to make the mistake of naming them same because it is natural to want to be consistent in naming.

You may use an aura handler to make sure that whether it has been refreshed successfully.

<aura:handler event="force:refreshView" action="{!c.isRefreshed}" />
