FLOW ACTION AND SCREEN COMPONENT BASEPACKS

These BasePacks are libraries of useful actions and screen components that are
commonly used by developers as building blocks when they build their own actions
and screen components.

The BasePacks are separated into two packages, one for Actions and one for
Screen Components (the reasons they can’t be combined right now are somewhat
arcane).

If you already have some of the components in the base packs installed in your
org, you don’t have to worry about collisions because the versions in these base
packs have different names. You don’t have to modify any of your existing
actions or screen components that use the older versions of these components
simply because you’re installing these base packs.




INSTALL


FLOWACTIONSBASEPACK

V 3.12 Managed 1/18/23 29/22 Production Sandbox Metadata Service classes updated
to V57





NOTE: The FlowActionsBasePack is also available on the AppExchange. Due to the
overhead of passing security reviews, the version published on App Exchange
won’t always be the latest version available here at UnofficialSF.com. More
details can be found in this article.



NOTE: if you are installing now and you previously installed Version 2.x,
Version 3 will be installed alongside Version 2. Don’t worry about deleting
Version 2. It will continue to work for older components.



Troubleshoot Installation Issues

View Source


FLOWSCREENCOMPONENTSBASEPACK

FlowScreenComponents BasePack requires the presence of FlowActions BasePack (see
above), because some of the screen components inside of it rely on Apex classes
that are included in FlowActions BasePack. So you’ll need to install FlowActions
BasePack first.

Version 3.0.18 1/6/23 Production Sandbox Bug fixes in Field Selector. Now
requires Action Base Pack 3.10





Note: If you get an upgrade error that references FlowTableViewDefinition please
follow the steps in this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


REFERENCE

When an org has the BasePacks installed, it has access to the following screen
components and their support Actions:


DISPLAY ERROR

This component allows the developer to highlight an input in their CPE with an
error condition.

Reference


DUAL LISTBOX

This component surfaces the dual listbox in flow screens. It allows for multiple
selection and returns the selected values either as a comma-separated list or
(more usefully) as a collection of strings that can be looped over.

Reference


EXPRESSION BUILDER

A full expression builder. Generates formula strings for output, and these can
be evaluated at runtime by the Evaluate Formula action, which is part of this
package.

Reference


FLEXCARD

Flexcard is a great way to display collections of records:

Reference


FLOW BANNER

This is useful for any custom property editor. It provides a section banner with
optional section help text.

Reference


FLOW BUTTON BAR

Flow Button Bar brings a more user-friendly interface, new features like icons
and vertical buttons, and now offers two distinct “modes” of Flow functionality:
Navigation Mode and Selection Mode. It has its own CPE giving much greater
flexibility and control over configuring the component.

Reference


FLOW CHECKBOX

This is useful for any custom property editor. It provides checkbox component
for CPEs that will support a default value of True and will correctly retain the
checkbox status when exiting the CPE.

Reference


FLOW COMBOBOX

This is essential for any custom property editor. It provides a picklist showing
upstream merge fields.

Reference


FORMULA BUILDER

A full formula builder. Generates formula strings for output, and these can be
evaluated at runtime by the Evaluate Formula action, which is part of this
package.

Reference


GET FIELD INFORMATION

Get Field Information is a simple action that takes the name of an object (e.g.
‘Contact’) and returns information about all of its fields in a collection,
including name, label, type, required. The data is returned in a collection of a
custom datatype called a FieldDescriptor that can be manipulated declaratively
in Flow.

Reference


ICON PICKER

This component can add a visual icon picker to your Flow Screen and developers
can include it in a Custom Property Editor or other Lightning Web Components. 

Reference


OBJECT AND FIELD PICKER

Provides a drop in component for selecting Objects or Object/Field combinations.

Reference


QUICK CHOICE

Add picklists, radio button groups and visual cards that can use dynamic
defaults, record-type-filtered picklist fields, and string collections.

Reference


SHOW TOAST

A simple local action that pops a toast up. Works with Screen flows only.

Reference


TRANSFER METADATA

A screen component that can retrieve or deploy any salesforce metadata.

Reference


CONVERT RECORDS TO CSV

This action takes a collection of records and outputs a CSV file. More detail
here.




DEVELOPER NOTES





When creating a project that relies on Screen Components Base Pack, you need to
specify both the Actions Base Pack and the ScreenComponents Base Pack as
dependencies, as shown below. This is because the Screen Components Base Pack
makes use of the Actions Base Pack. Furthermore, the order you list the
dependencies is critical. The ActionsBasePack has to come first.

    "packageDirectories": [
        {
            "path": "force-app",

                    "package": "FlowActionsBasePack@2.1.0-0"
                },
                {
                    "package": "FlowScreenComponentsBasePack@2.1.0-0"
                }
            ],
