Basic Features

Dynamic SOQL

SOQL.cls class provide methods that allow build SOQL clauses dynamically.

// SELECT Id FROM Account LIMIT 100
SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField> {
    Account.Id, Account.Name
})
.setLimit(100)
.asList();

Automatic binding

All variables used in WHERE condition are binded by default.

// SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name = :v1
SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField> {
    Account.Id, Account.Name
})
.whereAre(SOQL.Condition.field(Account.Name).likeAnyBoth('Test'))
.asList();

// Binding Map
{
  "v1" : "%Test%"
}

Control FLS

AccessLevel Class

Object permission and field-level security is controlled by the framework. Developer can change FLS settings match business requirements.

User mode

By default all queries are in AccessLevel.USER_MODE.

The object permissions, field-level security, and sharing rules of the current user are enforced.

System mode

Developer can change it by using .systemMode() which apply AccessLevel.SYSTEM_MODE.

The object and field-level permissions of the current user are ignored, and the record sharing rules are controlled by the sharingMode.

// SELECT Id FROM Account - skip FLS
SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField> {
    Account.Id, Account.Name
})
.systemMode()
.asList();

Control Sharings

Apex Sharing

Use the with sharing or without sharing keywords on a class to specify whether sharing rules must be enforced. Use the inherited sharing keyword on a class to run the class in the sharing mode of the class that called it.

with sharing

By default all queries will be executed with sharing, because of AccessLevel.USER_MODE which enforce sharing rules.

AccessLevel.USER_MODE enforce object permissions and field-level security as well.

Developer can skip FLS by adding .systemMode() and .withSharing().

// Query executed in without sharing
SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField> {
    Account.Id, Account.Name
})
.systemMode()
.withSharing()
.asList();

without sharing

Developer can control sharing rules by adding .systemMode() (record sharing rules are controlled by the sharingMode) and .withoutSharing().

// Query executed in with sharing
SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField> {
    Account.Id, Account.Name
})
.systemMode()
.withoutSharing()
.asList();

inherited sharing

Developer can control sharing rules by adding .systemMode() (record sharing rules are controlled by the sharingMode) by default it is inherited sharing.

// Query executed in inherited sharing
SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField> {
    Account.Id, Account.Name
})
.systemMode()
.asList();

Mocking

TBD

Avoid duplicates

Generic SOQLs can be keep in selector class.

public inherited sharing class AccountSelector {

    public static SOQL Selector {
        get {
            return SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType).fields(new List<sObjectField>{
                Account.Name,
                Account.AccountNumber
            })
            .systemMode()
            .withoutSharing();
        }
    }

    public static SOQL getByRecordType(String rtDevName) {
        return Selector.fields(new List<sObjectField>{
            Account.BillingCity,
            Account.BillingCountry
        }).whereAre(SOQL.Condition.recordTypeDeveloperName().equal(rtDevName);
    }

    public static SOQL getById(Id accountId) {
        return Selector.whereAre(SOQL.Condition.id().equal(accountId));
    }
}

Default configuration

The selector class can provide default SOQL configuration like default fields, FLS settings, and sharing rules.

public inherited sharing class AccountSelector {

    public static SOQL Selector {
        get {
            return SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType)
                .fields(new List<sObjectField>{  // default fields
                    Account.Id,
                    Account.Name
                })
                .systemMode(); // default FLS mode
        }
    }
}
