How to use Custom Label in Lightning Web Component?

In this session, we will learn how to use Custom Label in Lightning Web Component.

To do this exercise, We can consider the first Lightning Web Component named “welcomeWindow“.

Step 1: Need to update the welcomeWindow.js-meta.xml to set the visibility in Lightning App Builder.

welcomeWindow.js-meta.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LightningComponentBundle xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata" fqn="welcomeWindow">
    <apiVersion>45.0</apiVersion>
    <isExposed>true</isExposed>
    <targets>
        <target>lightning__AppPage</target>
        <target>lightning__RecordPage</target>
        <target>lightning__HomePage</target>
    </targets>
</LightningComponentBundle>

Step 2: We have created a custom label named “Welcome_Message” where the content will be stored for welcoming.

Step 3: Need to update the JS file.

welcomeWindow.js

import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';
import WELCOME_MESSAGE from '@salesforce/label/c.Welcome_Message';

export default class WelcomeWindow extends LightningElement {
    welcomeMessage = WELCOME_MESSAGE;//'Welcome to LWC Training Class';
}

Here, we have imported Welcome_Message custom label and assign to the “welcomeMessage” property which is referred into the html file. We can import the custom label in this way

@salesforce/label/namespace.customLabelName

In our example, the default namespace is c.

Step 4: Need to update the welcomeWindow.html file.

welcomeWindow.html

<template>
    <lightning-card title="Welcome My Friends">    
        <lightning-layout>
                <lightning-layout-item flexibility="auto" padding="around-small">                    
                        {welcomeMessage}
                </lightning-layout-item>
            </lightning-layout>
    </lightning-card>     
</template>

Here, we have used “welcomeMessage” property to display the welcome message.
