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

uploadAttachmentCmp.cmp [Lightning Component File]

   <aura:component controller="uploadFileController" implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >

       <aura:attribute name="multiple" type="Boolean" default="true"/>
       <aura:attribute name="disabled" type="Boolean" default="false"/>   
    
    <div class="slds">        
        
        <table class="slds-table slds-table--bordered slds-table--col-bordered" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
            <thead>

Step 2:- Create Lightning Component : uploadAttachmentCmpController.js

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;
     }    
   }

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;

}
