Apex Code for Creating Recurring Event in Salesforce Lightning
Author
January 17, 2018
In this article, I am sharing my approach and code required for fetching days for recurring events in Salesforce Lightning. The use cases could be creating a recurring pickup, order placement, etc. You would need basic knowledge of Apex and Salesforce Lightning.
This screen will give you an idea about the recurring UI.
Scenario: –
User can select a Start Date, End Date, Recurring weeks , and Day. Now according to selected fields, the record will get recur in the future.
Step1: – We need to create an aura enabled apex method to fetch dates between the Start, Date, and End Date.
Apex Method.
@AuraEnabled
public static Integer getDays(string startDate ,string endDate){
integer noOfDays= date.valueOf(startDate).daysBetween(date.valueOf(endDate));
return noOfDays;
}
Step2: – Now in the lightning component controller we need to store that dates accordingly.
Lightning controller.
getDates: function(component, event, helper){
var startDate = component.find(“dateField”).get(“v.value”);
var endDate = component.find(“dateFieldend”).get(“v.value”);
var recurWeek = component.find(“week”).get(“v.value”);
var recurWeek1 = (Number(recurWeek)+1)*7;
var startDate1 = new Date(startDate);
var endDate1 = new Date(startDate);
alert(‘recurWeek1===’+recurWeek1);
var selectedDays = [“”,””,””,””,””,””,””];
var checkboxes=component.find(“check”);
for(var c in checkboxes){
if(checkboxes[c].get(“v.checked”)){
var dayvalue = checkboxes[c].get(“v.value”)
selectedDays.splice(dayvalue,1,dayvalue);
}
}
alert(“startDate == “+startDate1+” endDate == “+endDate1+” recurWeek == “+recurWeek1+” selectedDays == “+selectedDays);
var startDay = startDate1.getDay();
var dateArray = [];
var finaldates = [];
var action=component.get(“c.getDays”);
action.setParams({“startDate”:startDate,”endDate”:endDate});
action.setCallback(component,function(response){
if(response.getState()==”SUCCESS”){
var noOfDays =response.getReturnValue();
for(var i=startDay;i<noOfDays;i++){
if(startDay == selectedDays[i]){
dateArray.push(startDate1);
}
else if(i%7==selectedDays[i%7] && selectedDays[i%7]!= “”){
var date = new Date(startDate1.setDate(startDate1.getDate()));
dateArray.push(date);
}
startDate1.setDate(startDate1.getDate() + 1);
}
}
});
$A.enqueueAction(action);
}
It is that simple, isn’t that? Feel free to send me your questions by adding comments to this blog.
Pranshu Goyal, Director of Products at Mirekta, states: “We envision DSM to be used by every small to a medium-sized organization dealing with bad data and want to get rid of duplicates easily with no cost. We have faced issues dealing with duplicates in our organization. That inspired us to make a solution that is not only simple to use but can be used widely to make the organization’s data clean to make them more efficient and productive. We want DSM to be a solution for every organization looking for duplicate management capability better than the Salesforce out-of-the-box solution with no additional cost.”
