<targetConfig targets=”lightning__RecordPage”>

<targetConfig targets=”lightning__AppPage, lightning_HomePage”>

targets:-The targets attribute value that you specify must match one or more of the page types that you listed under <targets> for the component. It Supports the property and objects subtags.

 Getter property in Lightning web components

1. Use getter property if you want to modify the property before you use in template

2. Use getter property when you don't  want to create a variable

     <p> Passing variable without declaring variable : {passProperty}</p>

export default class GetProperty extends LightningElement {

    msg='Test';

    get passProperty(){

        return 'Without Declaring Variable';

   Render Multiple Templates

You may want to render a component with more than one look and feel, but not want to mix the HTML in one file. For example, one version of the component is plain, and another version displays an image and extra text. In this case, you can import multiple HTML templates and write business logic that renders them conditionally. This pattern is similar to the code splitting used in some JavaScript frameworks.

Note

NOTE Although it’s possible for a component to render multiple templates, we recommend using an if:true|false directive to render nested templates conditionally instead.

Create multiple HTML files in the component bundle. Import them all and add a condition in the render() method to return the correct template depending on the component’s state. The returned value from the render() method must be a template reference, which is the imported default export from an HTML file.

In this example, the template references are templateOne and templateTwo.

miscMultipleTemplates.js

import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';

import templateOne from './templateOne.html';

import templateTwo from './templateTwo.html';

export default class MiscMultipleTemplates extends LightningElement {

    templateOne = true;

    render() {

        return this.templateOne ? templateOne : templateTwo;

    }

    switchTemplate(){ 

        this.templateOne = !this.templateOne; 

    }

}

Lightning components: can helpers call other helpers

You can definitely call another function within the same object using the this keyword.  Below Example doesnt make sense but it demonstrates the functionality of code

Lightning component : 

<aura:component >

    <input type="button" onclick="{!c.buttonClicked}" value="Click Me" id="myButton" />

</aura:component>

Controller :

({

    buttonClicked : function(component, event, helper) {

        helper.callHelper(component, event.target.id);

    }

})

Helper:

 ({

    callHelper : function(component, buttonId) 

    {

        console.log('call1',buttonId);

     this.helper1(component, buttonId,'Test');  

    },

    helper1 : function(component, buttonId, newLabel)

    {

        console.log('call2',buttonId);

       console.log('call3',newLabel);

    }

})
