Exposing Apex Methods in LWC
What is Apex?
Apex is Salesforce's proprietary language that
runs on the Salesforce platform.
When working with Lightning Web Components
(LWC), you often need to interact with backend
data and business logic that resides in Apex
classes.

Why Expose Apex Methods?


To access Salesforce data and logic from the
backend in the LWC component.
Example use cases: fetching records, processing
data, and performing server-side logic that
cannot be done client-side.

@TrailheadIQ
Steps to Expose Apex Methods
for LWC
Create an Apex Class:

The class must be annotated with @AuraEnabled


to allow access from LWC.

The method must be static.

Optionally, you can define whether the method is


cacheable.

@TrailheadIQ
Annotate Methods:

Use @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true) for methods


that don’t modify the database.

Use @AuraEnabled(cacheable=false) for methods


that modify data or require real-time results.

Return Values:

Apex methods can return any supported type like


primitive types, collections, or custom Apex
objects (Serialized JSON).

@TrailheadIQ
Creating an Apex Class Example
In this example:

getContacts() method is cacheable, fetching


contact records.

updateContact() method is used for updating a


contact’s email.

@TrailheadIQ
Importing Apex Method in LWC
The deleteRecord method requires the record ID of
the record you want to delete.Use @salesforce/apex
Import:

LWC uses the @salesforce/apex scoped module to


import Apex methods.

Syntax for Importing:

@TrailheadIQ
Calling Apex Method from LWC
This calls the updateContact() method, passing
parameters for contactId and email.

@TrailheadIQ
Best Practices for Apex in LWC
Always Use Cacheable Methods for Read-Only Data:

Cacheable methods improve performance and


reduce server calls.

Handle Errors Gracefully:

Always include error handling in your JavaScript


when invoking Apex methods.
Provide user feedback if an error occurs.

Security Considerations:

Ensure that your Apex classes are properly secured


with with sharing and check for field- and object-level
security.
@TrailheadIQ
Summary
Exposing Apex methods to LWC allows you to tap
into Salesforce's backend to handle complex
logic and database operations.

Use @AuraEnabled annotations to expose


methods.

Ensure cacheable methods are used for


performance optimization.

Always handle responses and errors properly in


LWC.
