[SalesForce] Lightning Component redirecting to record it is creating

I am trying to create a new record using a save button on a lightning:recordEditForm

Im am fairly new to coding lightning components and have come to a bit of a standstill trying to get it to redirect to the record it is creating.

I have managed to get it to redirect to the object home but using component.get("recordId") leads to a error page doesnt exist error and tells me to input a valid url.

Here is part of my component and my controller:

<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:hasRecordId,force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,lightning:actionOverride" 
            access="global" >

<aura:attribute name="recordId" type="Id"/>

<lightning:recordEditForm objectApiName="Factfind__c"
                          recordId="{!v.recordId}"
                          onsubmit="{!c.handleSubmit}"
                          onsuccess="{!c.handleSuccess}">
    <lightning:messages />

and here is my controller

({
handleSubmit : function(component, event, helper) {
    console.log("this is a test");
    //Display toast message
    var toastEvent = $A.get("e.force:showToast");
    toastEvent.setParams({
        "title": "Success!",
        "message": "Factfind has been created.",
        "type": "success"
    });
    toastEvent.fire();

    // Close Quick Action Panel:
    var dismissActionPanel = $A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction");
    dismissActionPanel.fire();
    var homeEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToSObject");
    homeEvent.setParams({
        "recordId": component.get("v.recordId")
    });
    homeEvent.fire();

}

})

Could someone please try and show me where i'm going wrong 🙂

The recordId you are using should come from lightning context if record already exists. But here you are creating new record - so you need to get the new record Id in onsuccess handler method.

Also, for navigation it is recommended to use navigation library with appropriate pageReference type

In cmp:

<lightning:navigation aura:id="navService"/>

Then in onsuccess handler:

handleSuccess: function(cmp, event, helper) {
    var params = event.getParams();
    cmp.find("navService").navigate({
        "type": "standard__recordPage",
        "attributes": {
            "recordId": params.response.id,
            "objectApiName": "Factfind__c",
            "actionName": "view"
        }
    });
}

[SalesForce] Redirect page to record

Pass the newly generated id PageReference('/'+t1.Id);. it will redirect to newly created record detail page.

public class ERFormController
{
    public Event_Request__c t1{get;set;}

    public ERFormController(ApexPages.StandardController controller)
    {
        t1 = new Event_Request__c();
    }

    public PageReference save()
    {
        insert t1; 
        ApexPages.AddMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.CONFIRM,'Record Created Successfully.Thank you!'));
        PageReference pg = new PageReference('/'+t1.Id);
        pg.setRedirect(true);
        return pg;  
    }

[SalesForce] How to pass record Id to a lightning aura component when redirecting from lwc

You can use a pubsub emitter/dispatcher pattern. I call this LWC a messageBroker. You can find a working example of LWC and Aura interoperability in my repo here

Basically, to have uni (even bi-directional) data move from LWC to aura, right now the best technique is to place an Aura wrapper somewhere on your flexipage.

With a standardized LWC pub-sub channel messageBroker (or whatever you want), the LWC parts are as follows:

lwcRequestor.js

fireEvent(this.pageRef, 'messageBroker', payload});
// payload.data
// payload.recordId, etc

messageBroker.js

import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
import { CurrentPageReference } from 'lightning/navigation';
import { registerListener, unregisterAllListeners } from 'c/pubsub';

export default class MessageBroker extends LightningElement {
  @wire(CurrentPageReference) pageRef;

  connectedCallback() {
    registerListener('messageBroker', this.messageBrokerEmitter, this);
  }

  disconnectedCallback() {
    unregisterAllListeners(this);
  }

  messageBrokerEmitter(payload) {
    // Just pass this on through to the parent enclosing aura component
    this.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('message', { detail: { payload } }));
  }

}

Then the aura component below placed on your flexipage. This is important because of the current limitations of the lwc-recipe pubsub component requires @wire pageRef. (Though you can strip that check out if you want, and swap for say - a recordId).

This aura wrapper is as such:

MessageBrokerAuraHandler.cmp

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes">
  <c:messageBroker onmessage="{! c.handleMessageBroker }"></c:messageBroker>
</aura:component>

Then you're freely able to handle the LWC's payload in your aura component via c.handleMessageBroker.
