Using Lightning Out, you can take custom-built Lightning Components out of the Salesforce platform. Out of the Salesforce platform here refers to any application on the web that supports JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Common examples would be a web application built using Node.js on Heroku, a SharePoint site, WordPress, an Electron desktop application, a Ruby web application, and so on.

This chapter will cover the following topics: 

• Leveraging Lightning Out in Visualforce pages to render Lightning Components
