Scenario: Create a lighting component for new record creation of the custom object (Commision__c) related to Opportunity (Parent). When the user clicks “New” button from Commission related list on the opportunity page. Auto-populate the Opportunity field on the Commission record creation modal box.
Solution: Here the main thing on which we need to work on is to auto-populate the opportunity record. Right?
Q. Can we use “force:hasRecordId” interface in the lightning component?
Ans ~ No, this will not fulfill our need, we will not get the recordId (opportunity record id), because this interface will only give you the current record ID if the component is used on a Lightning record page.
Q. Ok now, what will be another solution approach for this problem?
Ans~ We can use “lightning:isUrlAddressable” interface. This enables you to generate a user-friendly URL for a Lightning component and get the opportunity record id from the generated URL.

this doesn’t work. It gives me null each time
Worked for me..Thanks
It worked and helped me in time.
It worked for me but when I cancel and open the component from a new record the previous record id is still there. Why is that?
Hi nice reading your ppost
Very nice work. Thanks a lot.
