Navin Ganeshan 10 Call Rest API when record is opened
Hi,
I am creating a class that would call a rest API for some data, store in a custom object and display as a related lists in a case. However, need to figure out when the API call would be made.
One of the solutions I thought was to create a lightning web component and embed that into case's record screen. When user opens the case and lwc loads, call the API to refersh the data.
However, i am new to lwc, so thinking in terms of time to market. Question for this group, is it possible to call the API when a user clicks on the case id and case's record screen opens. if yes, then how should that be implmented.
I dont have any code to share, as this is very much in my head for now!
Thanks,
Navin

Although this is similar to your idea you can also implement the same functionality in lightning components and embed the component to perform certain function or trigger an event during the initialization of the page.
I found this below link which shows the initialization of a lightning component, please find the link for it below:

I hope this was useful in case if you found it handy can you please choose this as best answer so that it can be used by others in the future.
