Summary: Using LDS Base Components

[So now we have demonstrated CRU (Create, Read, and Update) using Lightning Base Components. But where is Delete? Well is appears Delete is not supported by the Base Components. I assume the Lightning developers found that Salesforce’s default UI provides good enough methods for deleting records.

This omission contributes to my analysis of the Base Components: they are good for teaching, good to quickly show Lightning in action, but not very useful when it comes to standard, normal business applications.

Anyone who has read any of my articles, knows that I never force my opinions. Instead I present working software examples, so the readers can study, modify, and test them to make their own conclusions.

Now we will use lightning/ui*Api to delete an account record, and upgrade our example to use CRUD using wire adapters and JavaScript functions, and No Apex!
