Lightning Web Components Introduction

Lightning Web Component (LWC) is a user interface (UI) framework that Salesforce Developers use to create customized pages and functions on the Salesforce platform. LWCs use a standardized JavaScript framework, HTML, and CSS, without a third-party framework.


Lightning Web Components was introduced by Salesforce in December 2018 as a new programming model to create dynamic web applications on the Salesforce Lightning Platform. It aimed to provide a more lightweight, efficient, and standard-compliant way to build web components compared to the earlier Aura framework.

In December 2018, Salesforce introduced Lightning Web Components at the TrailheaDX conference. It emphasized using standard web technologies like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

In June 2019, LWC Open Source was announced, allowing developers to use Lightning Web Components outside of the Salesforce platform.

LWC was introduced as an alternative to the Lightning Component framework for the following reasons:

Improved Performance

Standard Web Components

Enhanced Developer Experience

Improved Testing and Debugging

Component Reusability

Better Security

Browser compatibility
