Scenarion: Add a quick action on contact record detail page to add contact.

Solution: Build a component (Contactinformation)to insert a contact, implement the interface force:lightningQuickAction to add it as a quick action on contact record detail page.

<aura:component controller="ContactInsertClass" implements="force:lightningQuickAction ,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes ">
    <aura:attribute name="firstName" type="string"/>
    <aura:attribute name="lastName" type="string"/>

    <lightning:input label="Enter Last Name" value="{!v.lastName}"/>
    <lightning:button label="Add contact" onclick="{!c.addContact}"/>

</aura:component>

2) Javascript controller:

({
addContact : function(component, event, helper) {
        alert('1111');
var fName=component.get("v.firstName");
        var lName=component.get("v.lastName");
        var action=component.get('c.insertContact');
        action.setParams({
         
            parentAccountId:component.get("v.recordId"),
            firstName1:component.get("v.firstName"),
            lastName1:component.get("v.lastName")
         
        });
        action.setCallback(this,function(response){
            var state=response.getState();
            if(state==="SUCCESS")
            {
                alert('Contact inserted successfully');             
            }
         
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
     
}
})

3) Apex controller:

public class ContactInsertClass {
@AuraEnabled
public static contact insertContact(string parentAccountId,string firstName1,string lastName1)
{
    system.debug('Test');
    contact con=new contact();
    con.firstName=firstName1;
