Salesforce Exam Platform Developer II Topic 2 Question 110 Discussion

The scenario describes a common issue when multiple components are used on the same Lightning page and each component manages its error handling independently, leading to a 'long chain of toast messages' which can be overwhelming for users.

To improve user experience, the developers can implement the following techniques:

A . Use a Lightning web component to aggregate and display all errors: This method involves creating a centralized component responsible for handling all error messages. This component would receive error notifications from other components and then display them in a user-friendly manner. The benefit of this approach is that it provides a single, consistent interface for error messages, reducing the clutter and confusion that can be caused by multiple toasts.

D . Use public properties on each component to display the error messages: By using public properties, components can expose their error states to a parent or orchestrating component, which can then display these errors in a single, consolidated way. This avoids the issue of multiple toast notifications and allows for a more integrated error handling experience.

The other options presented are less ideal:

B . Using the window.alert() method is not recommended in a professional Salesforce environment as it is considered a disruptive way to show errors and does not align with the Salesforce Lightning design system.

C . Using a <template> tag to display in-place error messages could be a viable option for displaying error messages within the component itself, but it does not address the issue of multiple errors stacking up from different components as described in the scenario.
