playing with force:inputField - addressing rendering issue and hiding new option from the look up drop down

As we know we do have a limitation on lookup fields in lightning components and if we don't want to go for custom component force:inputFueld is one option.

We have 2 very core limitation on that 

1. Conditional rendering of the field 
2. Hiding the new action

To resolve the #1 wrap force:inputField with <aura:renderIf > instead of aura:if so that revaluation of the rendering logic happen again


To address #2 we need a CSS trick, please add below CSS to your component to hide the New Record option as it does not obey the action override. 

.THIS.createNew{
    display : none !important;
}

force:showToast Message Display In Multiple Lines In Salesforce Lightning Component

Dear Devs,

Today in this post I am going to share a workaround for salesforce lightning force:showToast event to display toast message in multiple lines. without any custom code. 

I will be using the power of aura:html tag to do that append this to your lightning component 

<aura:html tag="style">.toastMessage.forceActionsText{

white-space : pre-line !important;

}</aura:html>

Add this to your helper js file.

showToast: function (message) {

var toastEvent = $A.get("e.force:showToast");

toastEvent.setParams({

"title": "Action not allowed!",

"message": message,

"type" : "error",

"mode" : "sticky"

});

toastEvent.fire();

},

Not the controller or any other helper method invoke the show mesage method

myfun : function(component,event,helper){

var errMessage = "This is my first error message. \n" ;

errMessage += "This is my senond error message. \n" ;

errMessage += "This is my third error message. \n" ;

helper.showToast(errMessage);

}

The message will appar like above and no custom component is needed to achive that.

Hope this will save your time
