Lightning Picklist Path Component

Create your custom path for picklist field in any standard and custom objects. The new lightning picklistpath component in Winter18 helps us to display the picklist field progress similar to the lightning path. The path is rendered as a horizontal bar with one chevron for each picklist item, this component doesn't have key fields or guidance information and doesn't display the mark complete button similar to the lightning path. 

<lightning:picklistPath aura:id="picklistPath" recordId="{!v.recordId}"
picklistFieldApiName="status" />

The picklist path will display the progress based on the recordId and picklistApiName attribute value. Specify the API name of the picklist field in the picklistAPIName attribute which you want to display in the page layout and specify the Salesforce record ID in the recordID attribute so it renders the current value for the field in the page. In this example, the status field in the case object displayed in the horizontal bar with one chevron for each picklist item.




Let’s make this picklist path component writeable using lightning data service. Once the user clicks the picklist value, the onselect action will call the client-side controller and use the event.getParam("detail").value function we can get the selected value. Then assign the value to the lightning data service target fields and save the record. All these actions are performed at the client-side controller without calling any apex class

    Hi Karan Raj,
    The above posted code is working fine in record home page. I am looking to use the component in communities. I am unable to get the child record value to display pick list value of child in lightning picklist path. Can you please share your ideas on this?

Export records from List view – ListView API

As part of the Winter’15 release salesforce introduced the List View API features which helps us to get details and records of list views for an object. I was started exploring more about the List view API and trying to build an use case using that. So I searched about List View in the IdeaExchange site then found that many users are looking for a solution to export records to excel directly from the list view. I built a solution for that Idea, which helps user to download all the records directly from the List view for both standard and custom object. You don’t have to make any change in the code to use this functionality for different objects. All you need is to create a custom button for that object as mentioned below. Lets take an example for Account object 1. Go to Setup –> Accounts –> Buttons, Links and Actions 2. Click ‘New Button or Link' 3. Enter  Label, Name and select display type as ‘List Button’ 4. Content source as “Onclick Javascript” and paste the
