Salesforce : Apex Trigger Best Practices Description : Apex Triggers in Salesforce are a powerful way to extend platform functionality. They enable developers to perform custom actions before or after record changes such as insert, update, or delete operations. To maintain high code quality and performance, it is essential to write efficient and optimized trigger logic. While triggers provide a high degree of flexibility and control, following best practices is crucial to ensure that the code remains scalable, maintainable, and efficient. Apex Trigger Best Practices : One trigger per object We should always write one trigger per object, as having multiple triggers on the same object can cause unexpected behavior due to the lack of a guaranteed execution order.

Salesforce Lightning Web Component With Third Party JS : D3 Third-Party JavaScript Libraries Using JavaScript to manipulate the DOM isn’t recommended because the Lightning Web Components engine does it more efficiently. However, there are some third-party JavaScript libraries that take over the DOM. Manipulate the DOM with JavaScript Using JavaScript to manipulate the DOM isn’t recommended because the Lightning Web Components engine does it more efficiently. However, there are some third-party JavaScript libraries that take over the DOM. If a call to appendChild() manipulates the DOM, styling isn’t applied to the appended element. When using these libraries in a Lightning web component, add lwc:dom="manual" to any HTML element that you want to manipulate with JavaScript. When the engine sees the directive, it preserves encapsulation. Add the lwc:dom="manual" directive to an empty native HTML element. The owner of the component calls appendChild()...
