Something like that would be better:
var country = "{!Account.MCountry__c}";
var number = "{!Account.MNumber__c}";
if (country == null || number == null) {
alert("Details could not be updated ");
}
You will have to add custom Lightning Component. Lightning Experience provides ability to add custom built component.
- Create a custom component having a button which would perform same function as custom button used to perform.
- Go to Lightning builder, Click new
- Select Record Page then the Object on which it needs to be shown.
- Choose "Clone Default Saledforce Home page
- Add the component, and activate that new page.
Another way:
Add Action to the page.
- Go to Object
- Find Custom, Button and Links Section
- Click "New Action"
Add the Lightning component you want same as below
