Salesforce Facts by Abhishek

We can make use of ContactId field in User object to identify if the current logged in user is a community user or not. The same can be used in LWC. Attached is the screenshot. Note: The ContactId field cannot be updated manually and while trying to do so, the below error is encountered: 'You can't create a contact for this user because the org doesn't have the necessary permissions. Contact Salesforce Customer Support for help.'

Locale changes affect the name format of the user. For some of the locales, the Lastname appears followed by Firstname when full name is displayed. So, if we have any logic where we are fetching data based on the Fullname field on User object, we need to be careful.  For example, if the user's full name is 'Tom Stewart' where Firstname is 'Tom' and Lastname is 'Stewart', in case of Hungarian(Hungary) locale this is interpreted as 'Stewart Tom'. So, either we should use any other field like username or we should use any other filter to fetch the required data.

In order to remove decimals from a number in JS, we can make use of the bitwise not operator. Same can be used in LWC. Attached is an example screenshot.

Have you encountered the error (already output) in the debug log? This error is encountered whenever the collection is not initialized or reinitialized properly in the code logic and it might lead to unexpected results.

At times, we face difficulty in debugging syntax issues in HTML file in LWC. The lwc-codemod tool can help on resolving few of the HTML syntax errors. To get this working, once the tool is installed, we need to use the following command: lwc-codemod html-template-cleanup <path> path is the directory where the LWC is located. Reference:  https://github.com/salesforce/lwc-codemod?tab=readme-ov-file Attached are example screenshots.

While using the PICKLISTCOUNT() function in the FormulaEvalInApex feature, it counts the number of semicolons unlike the PICKLISTCOUNT() function in the formula which returns the number of selected values in the multi-select picklist. So, we need to be careful if we use  FormulaEvalInApex  feature with PICKLISTCOUNT(). Ideally the correct result is returned count+1. Attached is the screenshot.
