Introduction

Salesforce is a robust CRM platform, and integrating it with a modern front-end framework like React can enhance user experience significantly. This blog explores how to integrate a React application into Salesforce, leveraging technologies like Lightning Web Components (LWC), Visualforce, or Lightning Out.

Why Integrate React with Salesforce?

  1. Enhanced UI/UX: React’s component-based architecture provides flexibility and a seamless user experience.
  2. Reusable Components: React allows you to reuse components, speeding up development.
  3. Real-Time Data Updates: Synchronize Salesforce data with real-time updates using React’s state management.

Approach for Integration

  • Using React with LWC
      • Steps Taken: Created a React build, uploaded it as a static resource, and loaded it in LWC using loadScript.
      • Outcome: Not functional; encountered issues with resource loading and compatibility.
  • Create React Build and Import via Static Resources
  • Use React with LWC via an IFrame
  • Use Webpack for React and Import in LWC
