FIELD-LEVEL SECURITY​

AccessLevel Class

By default AccessLevel is set as USER_MODE.

More details you can find in here

userMode​

By default, all queries are executed WITH USER_MODE. However, developers can override this. For more details, check Field-Level Security and Sharing Rules.

The userMode method can be useful to override the systemMode() provided by the selector.

Execution mode in which the object permissions, field-level security, and sharing rules of the current user are enforced.

Signature

Queryable userMode()

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .userMode()
    .toList();

systemMode​

Execution mode in which the the object and field-level permissions of the current user are ignored, and the record sharing rules are controlled by the class sharing keywords.

Signature

Queryable systemMode()

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .systemMode()
    .toList();

stripInaccessible​

USER_MODE enforces not only object and field-level security but also sharing rules (with sharing). You may encounter situations where you need object and field-level security but want to ignore sharing rules (without sharing). To achieve this, use .systemMode(), .withoutSharing() and .stripInaccessible().

Read more about stripInaccessible in advanced.

Signature

Queryable stripInaccessible()
Queryable stripInaccessible(AccessType accessType)
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .systemMode()
    .withoutSharing()
    .stripInaccessible()
    .toList();

SHARING MODE​

Using the with sharing, without sharing, and inherited sharing Keywords

More details you can find in here.

withSharing​

Execute query with sharing.

Note! System mode needs to be enabled by .systemMode().

Signature

Queryable withSharing()

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .systemMode()
    .withSharing()
    .toList();

withoutSharing​

Execute query without sharing.

Note! System mode needs to be enabled by .systemMode().

Signature

Queryable withoutSharing()

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .systemMode()
    .withoutSharing()
    .toList();

MOCKING​

mockId​

Query needs unique id that allows for mocking.

Signature

Queryable mockId(String queryIdentifier)

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .mockId('MyQuery')
    .toList();

SOQL.setMock('MyQuery', new List<Account>{
    new Account(Name = 'MyAccount 1'),
    new Account(Name = 'MyAccount 2')
});

    new Account(Name = 'MyAccount 1'),
    new Account(Name = 'MyAccount 2')
});

count mock​

Signature

Queryable setCountMock(String mockId, Integer amount)

Example

SOQL.of(Account.sObjectType)

SOQL.setMock('MyQuery', 5);

DEBUGGING​

preview​

Signature

Queryable preview()

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .preview()
    .toList();

Query preview will be available in debug logs:

============ Query Preview ============
SELECT Name, AccountNumber, BillingCity, BillingCountry, BillingCountryCode
FROM Account
WHERE ((Id = :v1 OR Name LIKE :v2))
=======================================

============ Query Binding ============
{
  "v2" : "%Test%",
  "v1" : "0013V00000WNCw4QAH"
}
=======================================

PREDEFINIED​

For all predefined methods SOQL instance is returned so you can still adjust query before execution. Add additional fields with .with.

byId​

Signature

Queryable byId(Id recordId)
Queryable byId(SObject record)

Example

SELECT Id
FROM Account
WHERE Id = '1234'
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .byId('1234')
    .toObject();
Account account = [SELECT Id FROM Account LIMIT 1];
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .byId(account)
    .toObject();

byIds​

Signature

Queryable byIds(Iterable<Id> recordIds)
Queryable byIds(List<SObject> records)

Example

SELECT Id
FROM Account
WHERE Id IN ('1234')
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .byIds(new Set<Id>{ '1234' })
    .toList();
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .byIds(new List<Id>{ '1234' })
    .toList();
List<Account> accounts = [SELECT Id FROM Account];
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .byIds(accounts)
    .toList();

byRecordType​

Query record by RecordType.DeveloperName. To do that, you can use the byRecordType method.

Signature

Queryable byRecordType(String recordTypeDeveloperName)

Example

SELECT Id
FROM Account
WHERE RecordType.DeveloperName = 'Partner'
SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .byRecordType('Partner')
