Quick Start

The quick start steps you through building and running two simple apps: a standalone Lightning app for tracking expenses and a Lightning component to manage selected contacts in Salesforce1. You’ll create all components from the Developer Console. A standalone app is directly accessible by going to the URL:

https://<myDomain>.lightning.force.com/<namespace>/<appName>.app, where <myDomain> is the name of your custom Salesforce domain

The standalone app you’re creating accesses a custom object and displays its records. It enables you to edit a field on the records, capturing changes in a client-side controller and passing that information using a component event to an Apex controller, which then persists the data.

The Lightning component you’re creating accesses the contact object and displays its records in Salesforce1. You’ll use built-in Salesforce1 events to create or edit contact records, and view related cases.
