LWC Sample Code

To get the ID of the enclosing tab in LWC, use the EnclosingTabId wire adapter.

4export class CloseEnclosingTabExample  extends LightningElement {
5    @wire(EnclosingTabId) enclosingTabId;
6
7    handleClick() {
8        if (this.enclosingTabId) {
9            return;
10        }
11        closeTab(this.enclosingTabId);
12    }
13}

Aura Components Sample Code

This component has a button that, when pressed, retrieves the enclosing tab ID.

Component code:

1<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
2    <lightning:workspaceAPI aura:id="workspace" />
3    <lightning:button label="Get Enclosing Tab Id" onclick="{! c.getEnclosingTabId }" />
4</aura:component>

Controller code:

1({
2    getEnclosingTabId : function(component, event, helper) {
3        var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace");
4        workspaceAPI.getEnclosingTabId().then(function(tabId) {
5            console.log(tabId);
6       })
7        .catch(function(error) {
8            console.log(error);
9        });
10    }
11})
