Custom Metadata Types vs Custom Settings vs Custom Labels

  Custom Metadata Types vs Custom Settings vs Custom Labels 💬 In plain words:  Three lookalikes: Custom Metadata = configuration that DEPLOYS with your code (best for app settings). Custom Settings = org/user-specific values, changeable at runtime (hierarchy type is great for bypass switches). Custom Labels = translatable text for the UI. 📌 Example:  API endpoint URLs per environment → Custom Metadata (deploys with code, sandbox vs prod values). A 'Bypass_Automation__c' checkbox an admin flips during data load → hierarchy Custom Setting. The word 'Submit' translated to Hindi → Custom Label. 🎬 Real-Life Example: The Fee Table Trapped Inside Code  Skyline charges a different delivery fee per city. Apex needs those rates on every booking. The Old/Bad Way:  if (city == 'Delhi') fee = 50. Else if (city == 'Mumbai') fee = 65. … Every rate change is a code change, a test run, and a deployment. Why this is bad:  Business data is trappe...

LWC Full Dynamic Working Code for Verify Phone HTTP Request in Salesforce

Introduction:

In this blog post, we will explore how to build a Lightning Web Component (LWC) in Salesforce that performs a dynamic HTTP request to verify a phone number. We will utilize the power of LWC and Salesforce's capabilities to create an interactive and efficient solution. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a complete understanding of how to implement phone number verification using LWC and HTTP requests.


Prerequisites:


Before diving into the code, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  1. Salesforce Developer Account.
  2. Basic knowledge of LWC and JavaScript.
  3. Salesforce CLI installed on your machine.

Step 1: Create a new Lightning Web Component


First, we need to create a new Lightning Web Component. Open your command prompt or terminal and navigate to your project directory. Use the following command to create a new LWC:


sfdx force:lightning:component:create --type lwc --componentname VerifyPhoneNumber


Step 2: Implement the VerifyPhoneNumber component


Open the newly created component in your preferred code editor. You will find two files: verifyPhoneNumber and verifyPhoneNumber.js.


In the verifyPhoneNumber file, replace the existing code with the following markup:


<template>

    <lightning-card title="Phone Number Verification" icon-name="standard:phone">

        <div class="slds-p-around_medium">

            <lightning-input label="Enter Phone Number" value={phoneNumber} onchange={handlePhoneNumberChange}>

            </lightning-input>

            <lightning-button label="Verify" onclick={verifyPhoneNumber}></lightning-button>

        </div>

    </lightning-card>

    <template if:true={showVerificationResult}>

        <p>{verificationResult}</p>

    </template>

</template>


In the verifyPhoneNumber.js file, replace the existing code with the following JavaScript code:


import { LightningElement, track } from 'lwc';


export default class VerifyPhoneNumber extends LightningElement {

    @track phoneNumber;

    @track showVerificationResult = false;

    @track verificationResult;


    handlePhoneNumberChange(event) {

        this.phoneNumber = event.target.value;

    }


    verifyPhoneNumber() {

        // Make the HTTP request to verify the phone number

        // Replace the following URL with your actual verification service URL

        const verificationServiceUrl = 'https://your-verification-service.com/verify';


        // Construct the request payload

        const payload = {

            phoneNumber: this.phoneNumber

        };


        // Make the HTTP request

        fetch(verificationServiceUrl, {

            method: 'POST',

            headers: {

                'Content-Type': 'application/json'

            },

            body: JSON.stringify(payload)

        })

            .then((response) => response.json())

            .then((data) => {

                this.verificationResult = data.result;

                this.showVerificationResult = true;

            })

            .catch((error) => {

                console.error('Error:', error);

            });

    }

}


Step 3: Deploy the component


Once you have implemented the VerifyPhoneNumber component, use the following command to deploy it to your Salesforce org:


sfdx force:source:deploy -p path/to/VerifyPhoneNumber


Step 4: Add the component to a Lightning page


Now that the component is deployed, we can add it to a Lightning page. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Lightning App Builder in your Salesforce org.
  2. Create a new Lightning page or edit an existing one.
  3. Drag and drop the `VerifyPhoneNumber` component to the desired location on the page.
  4. Save and activate the Lightning page.

Conclusion:


Congratulations! You have successfully created a Lightning Web Component in Salesforce that performs a dynamic HTTP request to verify a phone number. By following the steps in this blog post, you've learned how to build interactive and efficient solutions using LWC and Salesforce's capabilities. Feel free to customize the code according to your specific requirements and explore additional features to enhance the functionality further. Happy coding!
