What I want to do is call the standard (Lightning) layout of an object to show in my Lightning component. Let's assume the object I'm talking about is a custom object. And I created it with Lightning enabled in my org. So when the custom object got created the Lightning standard layouts for that object also got created.

Just to be clear I DO NOT want to recreate the standard layout using the Lightning design system in my lightning component.

There's a way in Visualforce to call an object's standard view or edit layout I'm looking for the Lightning equivalent.

I'm familiar with the OOTB Record Detail Lightning component

I want to be able to do it dynamically. As in give me the record detail of Object B and then later I want the record detail of Object C where Object B and C are different custom objects.

  • where exactly are you planning on using this? communities? Lex?

  • No not communities just in the org the lightning component is in. The lightning component would be part of my Lightning app and I don't need it to work in the Lighting design system as a user dropable component.

    I believe there is an OOTB REcord Detail component that you can drag and drop via the lightning app builder, and there should be an action button for creating a new record, which will pop up a modal with the fields you require upon creation

  • Yeah I'm familiar with the Record Detail component but with that component you set what object the record detail refers to. I want to be able to do it dynamically. As in give me the record detail of Object B and then later I want the record detail of Object C where Object B and C are different custom objects.

  • unfortunately, that will require a custom component, and you will have to use SLDS with a ayout created by you =(

For your specific use case, there is no OOTB component that supports this (or at least that i know of).

That said, you will have to create your custom component in order to load your layout based on the objecttype selected.

  • I'm trying to avoid making my own layouts and use the out of the box ones. It's part of a bigger use case. Thanks for the help!
