Tooling API is used for custom development tools or apps for Lightning Platform applications. Tooling API’s SOQL capabilities for many metadata types allow us to retrieve smaller pieces of metadata. I was having a requirement to get list of all page layout for my object using Tooling API. I have called Tooling API from apex and used UserInfo.getSessionId() as authentication token. But when i called that apex method from lightning web component, i was getting below error. INVALID_SESSION_ID:This session is not valid for use with the Rest API. So our UserInfo.getSessionId() will not work as authentication token when we call Tooling API…
Most of time we need to compare values or two controls in record pages. Instead of writing code at multiple places we can create compare element in lightning web component and we can use this at required pages single or multiple times. Compare Element Requirement That element’s value should compare with other element That should compare values in same element To compare with element, we need to find that element. By default we can not access other component’s element. To access element of other component or parent component we have to pass that component as property. //Page export default class AppForm extends LightningElement {     parent=this; }…
