What Are the Best Practices in Lightning Web Components?

Written by Ross Jackman | Apr 3, 2023 4:00:00 PM

There are multiple approaches widely used in professional frameworks for Lightning Web Components and the most frequently used are as mentioned below:

  • Data Caching: Use a Lightning data service that automatically handles security for users. There is no need to write apex classes, however, if you are using them, mark your methods as cacheable.
  • Condition-based Rendering: This will wait for your component to render until a specific condition is met.
  • Reusable LWC: Your code should be abstract enough that it is used only inside the scope and dynamic that, it serves the purpose of your implementations.
  • Storable Action: By using Storable action, calls to the server will be reduced.
  • Pagination: Implementing pagination in code will improve the performance of the application.
  • Component Composition: Use public and private properties for effective component composition. Use event communication for child-to-parent communication and vice versa for sibling components.
  • Style & Icons: A wide range of optimized icons are available.
