Andrew E Initialize controller constructor in Lightning
Hello,
I have a Lightning Component with an Apex controller. The controller has a constructor that sets some variables, but it doesn't seem to be running when I load my component because the variable is null when I call another function. I can't call it from the component either as I get a notification that "AuraEnabled does not apply to Constructors".
See below for an example of what I mean but my case is a lot more complex as I have quite a few variables that need to be set at the beginning and calling a SOQL query every time I call a function that needs these would not be efficient.
public class MyController{
public User currentUser;
public MyController(){
currentUser = [Select Id, FirstName from User where Id =: UserInfo.getUserId();]
}
@AuraEnabled
public static String getMyName(){
return currentUser.FirstName;
}
}
You just need to declare currentUser as static...
@AuraEnabled public Static User currentUser{get;set;} public CustomComponents(){ currentUser = [Select Id, FirstName from User where Id =: UserInfo.getUserId()]; system.debug('currentUser :: '+currentUser); } @AuraEnabled public static String getMyName(){ return currentUser.FirstName; }if you find my solution helpful then please make this as best answer...I noticed you changed the name of my constructor from the class name. Am I supposed to name it after a component?
