Salesforce Guide to Building Forms
Salesforce Architects | Building Forms Guide Overview Looking to build forms on the Salesforce Platform? You’ve got multiple options, spanning the entire low-code to pro-code continuum. Representing low-code, Dynamic Forms in Lightning App Builder and screen flows in Flow Builder. Hanging out in the middle of the continuum is the ability to extend screen flows with LWCs. And representing pro-code is the LWC framework and its ever-growing library of base components. Options are great, but how do you determine which one (or which combination) is the right option? That’s where this doc comes in. Takeaway #1: When building basic create/edit forms for custom objects on desktop Lightning Pages, use Dynamic Forms. Takeaway #2: Use Flow to build multi-screen forms. If you need to also meet precise UX requirements, layer in LWCs. Takeaway #3: If you need test automation, start with LWC. You can write unit tests for any LWC, regardless of where you plan to embed it.
