Prerequisites

:

Basic understanding of Salesforce development.
Salesforce Developer Edition or Sandbox environment.

*Step 1: Set Up Your Development Environment
*

• Log in to your Salesforce Developer Edition or Sandbox environment.

• Navigate to the "Developer Console" under the "Developer Console" tab.

• Click on "File" > "New" > "Aura Component".

• Name your component "FiveMinuteRead" and choose the appropriate target folder.

Step 2: Designing the Aura Component

Open the newly created "FiveMinuteRead" component in the Developer Console.
Replace the default code with the following code snippet:

<aura:component>
    <aura:attribute name="title" type="String" default="Title" />
    <aura:attribute name="content" type="String" default="Content goes here." />

    <div class="container">
        <h2 class="title">{!v.title}</h2>
        <div class="content">{!v.content}</div>
    </div>
</aura:component>

Step 3: Styling the Aura Component

Create a CSS file (e.g., "FiveMinuteReadStyle.css") to style the component.
Add the following CSS code to style the component:

.THIS .container {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 10px;
    margin: 10px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #f9f9f9;
}

.THIS .title {
    font-size: 18px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.THIS .content {
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #555;
}

Step 4: Implementing the Aura Component

Navigate back to your "FiveMinuteRead" component in the Developer Console.
Under the aura:component tag, include the following line to link the CSS file:

<ltng:require styles="{!$Resource.FiveMinuteReadResource + '/FiveMinuteReadStyle.css'}" />

Step 5: Using the Aura Component

Create a new Lightning App Page by navigating to "App Builder" and creating a new Lightning Page.
Drag and drop the "FiveMinuteRead" component onto the Lightning Page.
Customize the component attributes such as the title and content.
Save and activate the Lightning Page.
