I'm trying to load data using Lightning Data Service with force:recordData, but i'm not seeing any data is being displayed.

Below is the code for the same. Can you someone help me where I'm doing the mistake.

CarDetails component

<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes">
    <aura:attribute type="Id" name="Id" access="public" />
    <aura:attribute type="Car__c" name="car" access="public" />
    <aura:attribute name="recordError" type="String" access="private" />

    <aura:handler event="c:CarSelectedApplicationEvent" action="{!c.onCarSelected}" />

    <!-- using lightning data service to fetch record data
        * recordUpdated="{!c.onRecordUpdated}" is optional
        and use it only if you need to fire an event on update
        *mode can be either edit or view-->
    <force:recordData aura:id="service"
                      recordId="{!v.Id}"
                      mode="VIEW"
                      targetFields="{!v.car}"
                      targetError="{!v.recordError}"
                      recordUpdated="{!c.onRecordUpdated}"
                      fields="Id, Name, Mileage__c, Per_Day_Rent__c, Build_Year__c, 
                              Contact__r.Name, Contact__r.Email, Contact__r.HomePhone__c,
                              Car_Type__r.Name, Picture__c" />

    <lightning:layout multipleRows="true">

added based on comments:

You will get no data if any of your field APIs in fields is wrong.

For identifying this, you use only Id and Name initially:

fields="Id, Name"

and remove all other fields and its references anywhere else in code and just use Id and Name


According to your implementation in isTrue="{!empty(v.car)}", you are saying you want to render the content only when v.car is empty. Instead it should be isTrue="{!not(empty(v.car))}"

<aura:if isTrue="{!not(empty(v.car))}">
    <lightning:tabset aura:id="tabs">
        <lightning:tab label="Details" id="cardetailtab">
            Car {!v.car.Name} will be shown here
            <c:CarDetail car="{!v.car}"/>
        </lightning:tab>
    </lightning:tabset>
</aura:if>

Or else you can have like below to render something before record loads:

<lightning:tabset aura:id="tabs">
    <lightning:tab label="Details" id="cardetailtab">
        <aura:if isTrue="{!not(empty(v.car))}">
            Car {!v.car.Name} will be shown here
            <c:CarDetail car="{!v.car}"/>
        </aura:if>
    </lightning:tab>
</lightning:tabset>

  • Hi Thanks for ur reply. when I set it to not(empty(v.car)) the entire section is not coming up as that is null. so for time being i had it like that.

  • added in answer. So, the error is gone now? Commented Aug 20, 2019 at 9:29
  • There is no error comping up. From the attached screenshot above, when I add not(empty(v.car)) instead of empty(v.car), then I'm not seeing anything from there as v.car is becoming empty.

  • Tried moving the aura:if to inside the lightning:tab still same.
