Out of the box, Salesforce doesn’t provide an a way to rename a Salesforce Lightning Component (Aura), but don’t worry there is an easier way than creating a new one and copying everything over.
Previously, we would do all of the following steps:
create a new component named what we want it to be and then copy in all of our code.
update everywhere to use the new component
we would open up the Developer Console -> File -> and then click delete for the component
Test and make sure everything is still working.
We can now instead do this:
In the developer console or wherever we can run and update SOQL run this query: SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel FROM AuraDefinitionBundle
Update the correct record’s “DeveloperName” to be what you want it to be. Click Save Rows or Update Record.
