tooltip can be used to show Name instead of Id in URL type.
Sample Code:
Component:
<aura:component implements=”force:appHostable”
controller=”AccountListController”>
<aura:attribute type=”Account[]” name=”acctList”/>
<aura:attribute name=”mycolumns” type=”List”/>
<aura:handler name=”init” value=”{!this}” action=”{!c.fetchAccounts}”/>
<lightning:datatable data=”{! v.acctList }”
columns=”{! v.mycolumns }”
keyField=”Id”
hideCheckboxColumn=”true”/>
</aura:component>
Component Controller:
({
fetchAccounts : function(component, event, helper) {
component.set(‘v.mycolumns’, [
{label: ‘Account Name’, fieldName: ‘linkName’, type: ‘url’,
typeAttributes: { label: { fieldName: ‘Name’ }, target: ‘_blank’, tooltip: { fieldName: ‘Name’ } } },
{label: ‘Industry’, fieldName: ‘Industry’, type: ‘text’},
{label: ‘Type’, fieldName: ‘Type’, type: ‘Text’}
]);
var action = component.get(“c.fetchAccts”);
action.setParams({
});
action.setCallback(this, function(response){
var state = response.getState();
if (state === “SUCCESS”) {
var records =response.getReturnValue();
records.forEach(function(record){
record.linkName = ‘/’+record.Id;
});
component.set(“v.acctList”, records);
}
});
$A.enqueueAction(action);
}
})
Apex Class:
public class AccountListController {
@AuraEnabled
public static List < Account > fetchAccts() {
return [ SELECT Id, Name, Industry, Type FROM Account LIMIT 10 ];
}
}
Output:
How to add link in other column instead name column?
Yes, you can do that.
{label: 'Account Name', fieldName: 'linkName', type: 'url',
typeAttributes: { label: { fieldName: 'Name' }, target: '_blank', tooltip: { fieldName: 'Name' } } }
This is the code you have to update for other column.
I have implemented inline editing for linkname field, but when i edit feild it will show recordId instead of account name
When you update, check the pay load and remove the name. You cannot update with incorrect api name.
Even I have implemented inline editing for linkname field, but when i edit field it is showing recordId instead of account name, could you please help me in fixing this?
You have to have another column to update name. It is very hard to update in the same column.
