Lightning Web Components is a new way of developing components on Salesforce Platform. Salesforce developers are excited and started learning LWC to build components. You must by thinking why I should move to LWC ?
According to Trailhead (Salesforce learning platform) – Modern browsers are based on web standards, and evolving standards are constantly improving what browsers can present to a user. We want you to be able to take advantage of that. As part of this effort, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) evolved a new standard for web components. We’re aligning our components to that new standard—Lightning Web Components are an implementation of the W3C web components standard. As web component standards mature, our model will seek alignment with those standards to provide both backward compatibility and progressive enhancements. Our components use more native browser features so they’re incredibly fast and portable.
As you understood that there are good reasons for migrating to LWC development. Now, the next question comes to your mind is how we can get started with LWC development. For that, Salesforce Trailhead is a great way to learn Salesforce LWC along with hand-on exercises. There is a Trail available on Trailhead. You can refer to that to get started with LWC. Link to the trail is : https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/trails/build-lightning-web-components.
Now, with this Trail you can get started and be ready to build LWC components. But, is it easy to migrate your Aura components to LWC ? The answer is YES! you can convert Aura components to LWC. Converting Aura components to LWC is not a line by line process. LWC has lot of good features with which you can enhance your code and reduce line of codes.
Recently, I along with one more developer did a live code session on Converting Aura components to LWC. You can refer to the video available on Youtube to get started with converting Aura components. In the video, we have taken use case of Product Catalog & Order Creation. We build that use case in Aura and then in the live code session, we have converted the code to LWC.
