Custom Dependent Picklist Field in Salesforce using Lightning Web Components

This post explains how to implement custom dependent picklist field using lightning web components(lwc)

To get the picklist values in lightning web components we can use 'getPicklistValues' or 'getPicklistValuesByRecordType' wire adapters, these wire adapters uses the lightning/uiObjectInfoApi scoped module to get the picklist values based on specific Field or based on Record Type.

Syntax

import { getPicklistValues, getPicklistValuesByRecordType } from 'lightning/uiObjectInfoApi';

For the demo, I created two fields on Account.
Controlling Field(picklist): Account Country
Dependent Field(picklist): Account State

The structure of the dependent field

HTML Code

<template>
    <lightning-card title="Custom Dependent Picklist using Lightning Web Components"><br/>
        <div class="slds-grid slds-gutters" style="margin-left:3%">
            <div class="slds-col slds-size_1-of-4">

                                    options={controllingValues} 
                                    placeholder="--None--" 
                                    value={selectedCountry}></lightning-combobox><br/>

How to Create Content Note using Apex in salesforce

Use FileExtension as  '.sonte' when creating the Content Note using ContentVersion Object.

ContentVersion objCntNote = new ContentVersion();
objCntNote.Title = 'Test Content Note';
objCntNote.PathOnClient = objCntNote.Title + '.snote';
objCntNote.VersionData = Blob.valueOf('This is Test Content Note');
objCntNote.FirstPublishLocationId = '001G000002Baxlj';  // ParentId
insert objCntNote;
System.debug('cntNote Id == > '+objCntNote);
