Technical Session by Rahul Malhotra at TrailheaDX Global Gathering organized by New Delhi Salesforce Developer Group and Gurgaon WIT.

Topic: Build Admin friendly custom user interfaces using Salesforce UI API

Excerpt:
User Interface API is the API that salesforce itself used to build lightning experience and the Salesforce apps for Android and iOS. Using UI API, you can build custom user interfaces for web apps that can be managed easily by salesforce admin. It automatically introduces a lot of functionality that makes the UI highly customizable just like the actual Salesforce UI.

User Interface API – An Introduction • Salesforce Developers needed a new API to build Lightning Experience • It came up with UI API which consists of the layout, metadata and record data altogether to build custom and dynamic UI • With UI API - you don’t have to take care about field level security, sharing rules, layouts and even picklists.
  5. 5. Features of UI API • UI API provides you the record information along with the layout information • It also provides you the data and metadata about the actions implemented in the UI like:- Standard and Custom Buttons, Quick Actions etc. • You can perform CRUD operation on records with UI API • It also gives you the information about list views as well as makes it easier to render dependent and independent picklists

Considerations for UI API • List of Supported Objects:- https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en- us.uiapi.meta/uiapi/ui_api_get_started_supported_objects.htm • UI API uses the Salesforce API Limits. If the limit is exceeded, you’ll receive 503 Service Unavailable Error • To access salesforce resources, we have to add our custom host to CORS in Salesforce so that the requests are permitted • If you are building lightning components don’t use UI API, use Lightning Data Service instead
