SObjectHelper Wiki

About

I wanted to be able to get certain bits of information on the fly using code with Salesforce. I was doing a lot of work with picklists at the time and wanted to put something together to help get the information I needed, faster. This helper class is used to get information about an SObject, essentially making it easier to get information from the Schema object. Including:

  • Record types: Id and DeveloperName
  • Picklists, and the options available for each picklist (normal and multi)
  • A list of the object's fields and their types
  • A string with all fields on the object separated by commas, so that the equivalent to SELECT * FROM SObject can be used
  • A string with all fields for SObjects that are lookups on the selected SObject
  • A set of required fields and fields that need to have unique values

The helper also gets information about available SObjects and if the Salesforce Org uses Person Accounts.

Files

The metadata files for these two are not included and should run with the latest release of Salesforce. They were created with API version 47.0, and last updated with API version 50.0.
