callback action from e.force:editRecord

Question

I'm migrating some functionality from classic to lightning and need to replace javascript button which will redirect to standard edit page.

I'm using Quick Action for that calling component which does some pre-validation and then it calls e.force:editRecord.

After save is successfully performed I need to refresh record on current page as it is related and some values have been changed. Page is completely standard except for that Quick Action.

Is there a way to handle that save success as callback or any other reasonable workaround? I'm considering to create component that will show lightningEditForm instead of e.force:editRecord. It is shame that SF doesn't provide functionality to handle such situations or even handle it on its own.

Answer 1

When I face this issue then, I had created a component level event and registered and fired within the component and then refreshing the value in the controller, and it worked for me.

Answer 2

So, solution for this issue was to implement custom component, which was using lightning:recordEditForm and use onsuccess to call this block.

$A.get("e.force:refreshView").fire();
setTimeout(function() {
    var response = event.getParams().response;
    var navService = component.find("navService");
    var pageReference = {
        type: 'standard__recordPage',
        attributes: {
            actionName: 'view',
            recordId: response.id
        }
    };
    navService.navigate(pageReference, true);
}, 250);

It will reload record and redirect to target record. Timeout is there bcs without it navigation event run first and refreshView after that, which was causing redirect back to original record page.
