There may be times where you want to launch the default Edit Modal on a Lightning Detail page from Skuid. You can!

You need a simple Aura component to accept the Event from Skuid.

Component:

<aura:component implements=“flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:hasRecordId” access=“global” >

<aura:handler event=“skuid:event” action=“{!c.handleShowModalEditEvent}” />

</aura:component>

Controller:

({

handleShowModalEditEvent : function(component, event, helper) {

let recordId = component.get(“v.recordId”);

var editRecordEvent = $A.get(“e.force:editRecord”);

editRecordEvent.setParams({

“recordId”: recordId

});

editRecordEvent.fire();

}

})

Add the above Custom Component to your Lightning App Builder Detail Page along with your Skuid Page.

In your Skuid Page, create a snippet like this:

let skuidAuraEvt = window.$A.get(“e.skuid:event”);

skuidAuraEvt.setParams({

“name”: “openEdit”,

“source”: “skuid”,

});

skuidAuraEvt.fire();

Put that on a button or any other Action and the Edit Open for the current detail page will launch. Enjoy!
