Top Apex Features From Spring 21

by | Dec 28, 2020 | , , , , | 0

Spring 21 is bringing a couple of Apex features that can be definitely helpful. This post will cover a few of my favorite Apex features from Spring 21.You can find all my Spring 21 release posts here.Feature #1With Spring 21, we can fetch the entire custom metadata records or a single record from the custom metadata. So no more SOQL query to fetch custom metadata records. Here is the video where I have explained the feature. With getAll() method, now we can get the entire custom metadata records. Here is the small code snippetpublic static void fetchAllMetadata() {    Map<String, Country__mdt> allCountries = Country__mdt.getAll();    System.Debug(‘allCountries Size: ‘ + allCountries.size());    for(String countrName : allCountries.keySet()){        System.Debug(‘Country Name: ‘ + countryName + ‘ Capital: ‘             + allCountries.get(countrName).Capital__c);    }}With getInstance( recordId ),  getInstance( qualifiedApiName ), getInstance( developerName ) method, now we can get the single custom metadata record. Here is the small code snippetpublic static void fetchCapital(String countryName) {    Country__mdt singleCountry = Country__mdt.getInstance(countryName);    System.Debug(‘Country Name: ‘ + countryName + ‘ Capital: ‘         + singleCountry?.Capital__c);}Feature #2With Spring 21, we can now convert 18-character Id to 15-character Id. Here is the video where I have explained the feature. With to15() method, now we can get the 15-character Id of the corresponding 18-character Id. Here is the small code snippet.public static void convertId(String id_18) {    ID test18 = id_18;    System.Debug(’15 Digit ID: ‘...

How to use Safe Navigation Operator (?.) in Apex | Winter 21 New Feature

by | Dec 15, 2020 | , , , | 0

 Salesforce rolled out a new feature in Winter 21 release, it’s called – SAFE NAVIGATION. Safe navigation operator is a very useful syntax for Salesforce Developers and it will make the coding clean. The main purpose of this syntax is to avoid null pointer exceptions.Basic SyntaxString accountName = accountRecord?.Name;The above statement will store accountRecord.Name value in the variable accountName. As you can understand that accountRecord is basically the sObject variable holding Account record and then we are using that variable to fetch the Name property. Now, what will happen if the accountRecord is null, then null.Name will definitely give the null pointer exception, right? But the answer is No. Because we have used the safe navigation operator(?.) here. Safe navigation operator will make the check and if the accountRecord is not null, then only store the Name field to accountName, otherwise, it will just store null there.How it works:If the left side of the chain expression (?.) evaluates to null, then the right side will not be evaluated. This safe navigation can be used in the method, variable, and property chaining. The part of the expression that is not evaluated can include variable and property chaining.Example 1:Let’s say we have a method that will take the AccountNumber as a parameter and print the AccountName.Before Winter 21 without Safe Navigation, our code will look like –    public static void getAccountNameWithoutSafeNavigation(String accountNumber){...

Welcome to the Winter ’24 Release! Salesforce Release is the process by which Salesforce updates its software platform to add new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. Salesforce releases typically occur three times a year, in spring, summer, and winter, and are named after the season in which they are released. In this video, I am going to share how you can transform collections of data between flow resources with the new Transform element in Flow Builder. I have a dedicated video where I have shown how to use this new element but in today's video, I am going to show you how to use this new element to transform and create multiple records within Salesforce Flow.

Salesforce releases typically occur three times a year, in spring, summer, and winter, and are named after the season in which they are released. In this video, I am going to share how you can perform HTTP GET and POST Call from Salesforce Flow. If you can’t GET enough with HTTP Callout, now you can use the POST method to send Salesforce data to an external server in Flow Builder. This feature, now generally available, includes some changes since the Summer ’23 release. More easily integrate external data with the new PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods. Give more context about HTTP callout parameters, validate JSON samples faster, and get more information about the external service registration with more organized sections of parameters.
