abatish / lightningflowcomponents

A collection of unofficial Lightning Components that can be used to enhance Salesforce Lightning Flow and Lightning Pages.

This folder contains a collection of Lightning Components that can be used to enhance Lightning Flow from Salesforce. Note that you do not need to write code, read code, or use developer console to install these into your Flow Designer! You can install these components as packages over at the LightningFlow.net site. (See "Installation")

Lightning Flow Screen Components

flow_screen_components contains lightning components (aura classes) that have been optimized to be inserted into Lightning Flow screens. This mainly means that they:

1. implement the "lightning:availableForFlowScreens" interface so they appear in and can be dragged into Screen Nodes that are added to Flows susing the the Salesforce Cloud Flow Designer (and upcoming Lightning Flow Builder)
2. give attention to their design files because only attributes added to the design file show up in Cloud Flow Designer as available for mapping to and from Lightning Flow variables

Flow Screen Components generally have a visual focus, although they don't absolutely have to.

Flow Screen Components are generally available as of Spring '18.

Lightning Flow Action Components

flow_action_components contains lightning components (aura classes) that have been optimized to be added to Lightning Flows as standalone actions. This mainly means that they:

1. implement the "flowruntime:availableForLocalInvocableActions" interface so they show up in the tools palette of Cloud Flow Designer as Local Actions that can be dragged onto the canvas and added to flows as discrete actions.
2. provide an #invoke method that allows the Flow engine to call them at the appropriate point during flow execution, and make a callback to the engine when they're done

Flow Action Components generally do not have a visual focus, although they have to run in Screen Flows to ensure the presence of a client-side javascript runtime.

Local Flow Actions are generally available.

Important Setup Notes

Before adding any lightning component to your flow, your org must be enabled for lightning components. This means:

1. you must have My Domain enabled and deployed
2. you must have the "Enable Lightning Runtime for Flows" checkbox enabled in Setup - Process Automation Settings

You do not need to be using the lightning experience to use these flow extensions
