This package contains a Salesforce Lightning components that can be used as an action override for the New button in a Salesforce page:
The component uses the lightning:recordForm construct to determine which fields to present to the user and gets those fields from an aura:attribute name="fields" in the component markup, which you will need to configure. So although the component can be used for any Salesforce object, it cannot be used for multiple objects at the same time since those fields will change from object to object. Simply duplicate the component for use with additional objects.
The aura:attributes in the component provide an option for selecting the message that is displayed when a record is successfully created and another option for selecting the static resource containing the image of the logo that appears in the left corner of the modal dialog.
The component has been written to work with both standard and console navigation and has been tested using the New button in a list view in both cases.
To actually override the button, follow these instructions.
If your object uses record types, it is important to set a recordTypeId= attribute in the lightning:recordForm so that the right choices in any picklist fields you select will be shown in the modal dialog. Please see the documentation for lightning:recordForm for more details.
If you have a default record type for the object you are configuring, you may not want the record type picker showing up each time you click the New button. To prevent that record type selection screen from appearing, click on your user picture icon in the upper right corner of the page and go to Settings -> Display and Layout -> Set Default Record Types and click the checkbox next to the object you are configuring.
