Six Amazing Features of Salesforce Lightning

Salesforce Lightening includes some Salesforce developer tools and the Lightning Component Framework. Any responsive Salesforce application can be easily developed using Lightening. The Aura-based lighting framework is the first mobile device-like user interface provided by Salesforce for Salesforce developers. Salesforce Lightening includes other developer tools and technologies, including Lightning App Builder, Lightning Design System, Lightning Connect, and Lightening Component Framework. In this article, you will find some features of this new Framework, thanks to which it has become a favorite of Salesforce developers. They are:

Interactive and responsive interface: -
The classic Salesforce UI was better until the release of HTML5, but for responsive web development it doesn't have many features, but Lightening comes packed with features to fit any responsive web design.

Visualforce Pages Support: -
When Salesforce launched the Lightening platform, the big challenge for them was providing a front-end that supports existing functionality and customization so developers can easily use and become familiar with the new platform. Visualforce Pages will continue to support the new Lightening, and new components can also be designed and developed through Salesforce Lightning, which can be reused in Visualforce Pages.

Lightning App Builder: -
The Salesforce platform can be used to build any web application, and the Salesforce Lightening App Builder can be used to develop standalone applications. These apps can be created directly using Lightening or in addition to the existing Salesforce1 mobile apps or Salesforce apps. The lightening components are also available in ready-to-use form on Appexchange, from where they can be easily picked up and used by anyone.

To create the community-based application: -
At Appexchange, lighting components are used to create the responsive community application, especially for a particular organization. For this reason, it is not necessary to use an external executive application to be present in the outside world or to contact your clients. Simply through the Lightening platform, you can create and use the Salesforce community app without leaving the Salesforce platform.

Pixel Perfect Designs: -
Salesforce Lightning has a number of tools to create the perfect image. Designers can create any application interface with a perfect and precise design and provide a new and refined user experience. Salesforce Lightning provides a CSS framework and UI library, through which developers can create and design the web application, which looks perfect and suitable for all platforms.

Free Tutorials and Training: -
Whenever Salesforce releases an app, it also provides free training videos and tutorials, helping developers get started with the tool. All tutorials are present on the developer's site, but they can be viewed and useful for administrators, users, vendors, and developers. The available Trailhead can be used to design and build your Lightning component or app.
