Define Lightning Component Wrapping Canvas App

First, define a Lightning Component that wraps Unity Canvas App:

  1. Go to Developer Console > File > New > Lightning Component.

  2. In Component (you can switch to the component by Ctrl+Shift+1):

    <aura:component implements="force:appHostable,lightning:isUrlAddressable" access="global"> <aura:attribute name="recordId" type="String" access="global" /> <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" /> <force:canvasApp width="100%" developerName="Quote_Configurator_All"/> </aura:component>


    Alternatively, in the most current version of Salesforce try this code:

    <aura:component implements="force:appHostable,lightning:isUrlAddressable" access="global"> <lightning:workspaceAPI aura:id="workspace"/> <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" /> <force:canvasApp width="100%" developerName="Quote_Configurator_All"/> </aura:component>

    In the above code:
    <force:isUrlAddressable> – Enables direct navigation to a Lightning component via URL.
    <force:appHostable> – Allows it to be used as a custom tab in Lightning Experience or Salesforce mobile app.
    <developerName=”Quote_Configurator_All”> – Name of the canvasApps. In this case, we are using Quote_Configurator_All.
    <width=”100%”> – Sets the full width of the canvas application inside the Lightning component.

  3. In Controller leave it as is:

    ({ doInit : function(component, event, helper){ } })

Define Lightning Component Tab Using Lightning Component

Go to Setup > Quick Find > Lightning Component Tabs > New.

In Lightning, we can go into quote detail based on the typedId by adding the parameter c__typedId to the URL.

Check your Canvas App settings to enable Lightning Component:

Example:

This is the URL of the Lighting component:

https://mycompany.lightning.force.com/lightning/cmp/c__QC_Lightning_Test?c__targetPageState=P-55756&c__targetPage=quotes

  • QC_Lightning_Test – Before the name of the Lightning Component Tab, we need to add c__ prefix for custom component.

  • P-55756 – uniqueName/typedId of entity

  • quotes – entity, currently we support quotes/contracts/rebate-agreements

But if you would like to use the Lighting Component Tab, then you need to use:
https://mycompany.lightning.force.com/lightning/n/QC_Lightning_Test?c__targetPageState=P-55756&c__targetPage=quotes

The result looks like this:
