When building a Lightning Web Component (LWC) to collect and manage data, developers must ensure compliance with Salesforce's security model, including field-level security (FLS) and object-level security (OLS). To meet the requirement of respecting security controls,lightning-input-fieldis the correct choice.
Why lightning-input-field?
Field-Level Security (FLS):lightning-input-field respects the user’s field-level security settings. This means users can only view or edit fields that they have permissions for, ensuring compliance with the organization’s security model.
Object-Level Security (OLS):It respects object-level security, ensuring users cannot access objects they are restricted from accessing.
Simplified Development:It is part of the Lightning Data Service (LDS), which eliminates the need to write custom Apex or SOQL queries for CRUD operations, reducing the potential for security gaps.
Dynamic Rendering:Since the component dynamically renders fields based on the user’s permissions, developers can share the component across various user groups without additional customization.
Declarative Syntax:lightning-input-field simplifies form creation in LWC by using declarative syntax to bind to record fields directly.
Example Code Implementation:
object-api-name="Contact"
record-id={contactId}>
