The Salesforce Platform APIs offer a wide range of tools that allow you to integrate and extend Salesforce functionality. These APIs enable you to access, manipulate, and interact with your Salesforce data in various ways. Whether you want to create custom applications, automate business processes, or integrate with other systems, the Salesforce Platform APIs provide the flexibility and scalability to meet your needs. Salesforce API-first approach to development Salesforce adopts an API-first strategy for developing features on its platform. This entails building a strong API for a feature before concentrating on designing its user interface. This approach provides flexibility to Salesforce developers in manipulating their data as they desire. In addition, it allows Salesforce to develop user interfaces on top of the APIs, guaranteeing consistent behavior across them. The Salesforce Data APIs consist of four different APIs: REST API, SOAP API, Bulk API, and Pub/Sub API. Their primary ...

Salesforce Locker Service is a security architecture provided by Salesforce for Lightning components. It aims to improve the security of the Lightning Component Framework by enforcing stricter JavaScript security policies and DOM access restrictions. Locker Service enhances the security and stability of Lightning components Enabling Locker Service Provides the following features Namespace Isolation : Locker Service isolates Lightning components in their own namespace, preventing them from accessing or modifying components in other namespaces. This isolation helps prevent conflicts and ensures that components behave predictably. Secure DOM Access : Locker Service provides a secure wrapper around the Document Object Model (DOM), preventing Lightning components from accessing or modifying elements outside of their own DOM hierarchy. This helps mitigate security vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Strict JavaScript Context: Locker Service enforces strict JavaScript...

Entity Particle  Represents each element of a field that can be presented in a user interface. Contrast EntityParticle with FieldDefinition, which represents each element of a field defined in the Metadata API. EntityParticle has parity with describe, which returns API-accessible fields only for an entity. EntityParticle Let's say there is a requirement to fetch all picklist fields along their label, API Name. SOQL query using Entity Particle  SELECT EntityParticle.DeveloperName, Label, Value, IsActive, EntityParticle.IsDependentPicklist, EntityParticle.FieldDefinition.ControllingFieldDefinition.DeveloperName FROM  PicklistValueInfo  WHERE EntityParticle.EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName = 'Case'  AND EntityParticle.IsDependentPicklist = TRUE  ORDER BY EntityParticleId, Label Results Retrieve all the fields of the 'Phone' data type

EntityLimit EntityLimit is used to retrieve Limits displayed in the Setup UI for an object. EntityLimit Considerations SOQL Limitations SOSL Limitations Here's an example to retrieve the limits of an Object

Salesforce doesn't have the option to allow developers to create triggers directly on standard objects like Attachment using the Salesforce UI.  Instead, we've used tools  Force.com IDE in Eclipse to write and deploy triggers on Attachment. For the Attachment, ContentDocument, and Note standard objects, you can’t create a trigger in the Salesforce user interface. For these objects, create a trigger using development tools, such as the Developer Console or the Salesforce extensions for Visual Studio Code. Alternatively, you can also use the Metadata API. Here's an example

Salesforce provides two primary mechanisms for integrating with external systems: REST (Representational State Transfer) and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) APIs. Both REST and SOAP APIs allow you to interact with Salesforce data and metadata programmatically, including querying, creating, updating, and deleting records. Here's an overview of Salesforce Apex REST and SOAP APIs: Apex REST (RESTful Web Services): Description: Apex REST allows you to expose custom RESTful web services within Salesforce. You can define custom REST endpoints using Apex classes and methods, which can then be invoked by external systems using HTTP requests. Usage: Apex REST is well-suited for building lightweight, stateless APIs that adhere to RESTful principles. It's commonly used for integrating with mobile applications, external web services, and other systems that communicate over HTTP. Authentication: Apex REST supports various authentication mechanisms, including OAuth 2.0, Session ID, and ...
