Step 2:- Create Lightning Component : uploadAttachmentCmpController.js

Subscribe My Channel :- Tech W3web - YouTube

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Component >> JavaScript Controller

uploadAttachmentCmpController.js [JavaScript Controller]

({
    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
        var action = component.get("c.childObjWrapMethod"); 
        
        action.setCallback(this, function(response){
            var state = response.getState();
            
            if(state=='SUCCESS'){
                var result = response.getReturnValue();                
                component.set('v.wrapListItems',result);
            }
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    },
    
    uploadFileAction : function(component, event, helper) {
        var uploadedFiles = event.getParam("files");
        var documentId = uploadedFiles[0].documentId;
        var fileName = uploadedFiles[0].name;
        var toastEvent = $A.get("e.force:showToast");
        toastEvent.setParams({
            "title": "Success!",   
            "type": "success",
            "message": "File "+fileName+" Uploaded successfully."
        });
        toastEvent.fire();
        $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire();         
       },
   })

({

doInit : function(component, event, helper) {

var action = component.get("c.childObjWrapMethod");

action.setCallback(this, function(response){

var state = response.getState();

if(state=='SUCCESS'){

var result = response.getReturnValue();

component.set('v.wrapListItems',result);

}

});

$A.enqueueAction(action);

uploadFileAction : function(component, event, helper) {

var uploadedFiles = event.getParam("files");

var documentId = uploadedFiles[0].documentId;

var fileName = uploadedFiles[0].name;

var toastEvent = $A.get("e.force:showToast");

toastEvent.setParams({

"title": "Success!",

"type": "success",

"message": "File "+fileName+" Uploaded successfully."

});

toastEvent.fire();

$A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire();

})

Step 3:- Create Lightning Application : uploadFileController.apxc

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Apex Class

uploadFileController.apxc [Apex Class Controller]

public class cloneFilesFromOldCaseToNew {

public class wrapperChildObjClass{

@AuraEnabled

public Id recordId;

public wrapperChildObjClass(Id recordId){

this.recordId = recordId;

}

@AuraEnabled

public static List<wrapperChildObjClass> childObjWrapMethod(){

List<wrapperChildObjClass> wrapObj = new List<wrapperChildObjClass>();

List<childObjTrigger__c> childObjList = [Select Id, Name From childObjTrigger__c limit 1];

for(childObjTrigger__c childObjWrp: childObjList){

wrapObj.add(new wrapperChildObjClass(childObjWrp.Id));

}

return wrapObj;

}

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How do I upload files to Salesforce?

Enable the preference to upload files as Salesforce Files in Salesforce Classic in Setup. Type Salesforce Files in the Quick Find box, select General Settings, and then click Files uploaded to the Attachments related list on records are uploaded as Salesforce Files, not as attachments.

How do you display an image from static resources in the lightning component?

A ParentId is the 18-character Salesforcer Id of the record that the attachment belongs to. To get started creating and updating attachments, first, load the {salesforcer} and {dplyr} packages and login, if needed.
