Extending Lightning Components
Scenario
In lightning, we have developed multiple components for different functionalities. All custom components include a lot of boilerplate code and we will have to exclude most of the redundant code by building generic function in the helper part of aura bundle. However, it wouldn’t be the perfect solution to avoid the redundancy as we will have to do the same for other components as well. For example, Communication between an apex controller and a component is written separately for each custom component, even if the components are related to each other. Are there any mechanisms available in lightning for abstracting the boilerplate into one component for others to make use of it?
From my experience, this can be solved by Inheritance as it makes the code more structured and flexible. The Salesforce Apex framework supports inheritance similar to what we see in object-oriented programming languages like Java and others. Is Aura framework built to support inheritance?
