I'm in a need to place a Lightning Component multiple instances on single page (such as Home Page) but I need the options or filters sticky for the component instance only.

I tried using GlobalID, but it changes with every page refresh.

Anyone have any idea how to make them sticky for an instance of the component on page?

  • why not use events to communicate between the components? – Itai Shmida Jun 5 '18 at 12:25

Global Id is not static and as you have already faced changes with every refersh.

from docs:

Every component has a unique globalId, which is the generated runtime-unique ID of the component instance. A global ID (1) is not guaranteed to be the same beyond the lifetime of a component, so it should never be relied on. A global ID can be useful to differentiate between multiple instances of a component or for debugging purposes.

So the only thing which you can try here is use html component and create there global Id manually.

<div id="{!globalId + '_footer'}"></div>

  • Problem is, I've 2 instances on page. Then I need to find which instance is which, inside that index. {globalId + '_footer'} will return different globalId. I need to find instance, and then save & retrieve the sticky options I want to put in UI for that instance of component only. – VarunC Jun 5 '18 at 8:16
  • @VarunC in globalId you can pass variable 1,2,3... so on. – Tushar Sharma Jun 5 '18 at 8:39
  • The cmp is to be placed from App Builder. I see, your point is suitable if I'm placing the component in another component and I pass the globalId as attribute value? – VarunC Jun 5 '18 at 8:42
