Develop an Account Geolocation App with Lightning Web Components

So, here is a link to the code for the revised version of the Account Geolocation app. I understand that if you are new to LWC, this could be a little overwhelming, but the good news is that the course I am working on for Pluralsight right now will feature a very similar LWC app that I will walk you step by step through building yourself. Everything will be explained in time, I promise. So, stay tuned…

Trailhead offers a wonderful app created with Aura components that displays account search results on a map. Well, in preparation for the LWC course I am doing for Pluralsight, I decided to create a version using Lightning Web Components instead. This will be similar (NOTE: not the same) as the sample application that I will walk viewers through creating in the course.

I will try to put out as many posts as I can that show you the code (a little at a time), but the course is where you will get the most knowledge of all the great things I learned about LWC while converting it, so I hope you will stay tuned for that.

Now, here is what the LWC version looks like. And please do not immediately post a comment to say that it looks exactly like the Aura component version. That was the point. It was a conversion, so I made it look the same, but behind the scenes it is VERY different:

Now, the app I will be walking the viewer through creating will be similar to this one, but different. And you will just have to wait to see that version (after all, this is supposed to be a teaser post 🙂
