Standard SOQL
// SELECT Id FROM Account
List<Account> accounts = SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType).toList();
// SELECT Id, Name, Industry FROM Account
List<Account> accounts = SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
.with(Account.Id, Account.Name, Account.Industry)
.toList();
Cached SOQL
// SELECT Id, Name, UserType FROM Profile WHERE Name = 'System Administrator'
Profile systemAdminProfile = (Profile) SOQLCache.of(Profile.SObjectType)
.with(Profile.Id, Profile.Name, Profile.UserType)
.whereEqual(Profile.Name, 'System Administrator')
.toObject();
public inherited sharing class SOQL_Contact extends SOQL implements SOQL.Selector {
public static SOQL_Contact query() {
return new SOQL_Contact();
}
private SOQL_Contact() {
super(Contact.SObjectType);
// default settings
with(Contact.Id, Contact.Name, Contact.AccountId)
.systemMode()
.withoutSharing();
}
public SOQL_Contact byAccountId(Id accountId) {
whereAre(Filter.with(Contact.AccountId).equal(accountId));
return this;
}
}
public with sharing class ExampleController {
@AuraEnabled
public static List<Contact> getAccountContacts(Id accountId) {
return SOQL_Contact.query()
.byRecordType('Partner')
.byAccountId(accountId)
.with(Contact.Email)
.toList();
}
}
public with sharing class SOQL_ProfileCache extends SOQLCache implements SOQLCache.Selector {
public static SOQL_ProfileCache query() {
return new SOQL_ProfileCache();
}
private SOQL_ProfileCache() {
super(Profile.SObjectType);
cacheInOrgCache();
with(Profile.Id, Profile.Name, Profile.UserType);
}
public override SOQL.Queryable initialQuery() {
return SOQL.of(Profile.SObjectType);
}
public SOQL_ProfileCache byName(String name) {
whereEqual(Profile.Name, name);
return this;
}
}
