of

Conctructs an SOQL.

Signature

SOQL of(SObjectType ofObject)
SOQL of(String ofObject)

Example

SELECT Id FROM Account

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

String ofObject = 'Account';
SOQL.of(ofObject).toList();

select

with field1 - field5

Signature

SOQL with(SObjectField field)

SOQL with(SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2);

SOQL with(SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2, SObjectField field3);

SOQL with(SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2, SObjectField field3, SObjectField field4);

with fields

SELECT

SELECT statement that specifies the fields to query. The fieldList in the SELECT statement specifies the list of one or more fields, separated by commas, that you want to retrieve.

Use for more than 5 fields.

Signature

SOQL with(List<SObjectField> fields)

Example

SELECT Id, Name, Industry, AccountNumber, AnnualRevenue, BillingCity

        Account.Name,
        Account.Industry,
        Account.AccountNumber,
        Account.AnnualRevenue,
        Account.BillingCity
    }).toList();

with string fields

NOTE! Apex do not have reference to String fields. Use it only for corner cases.

Signature

SOQL with(String fields)

Example

SELECT Id, Name, Industry
FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .with('Id, Name, Industry')
    .toList();

Allows to add parent field to a query.

Signature

SOQL with(String relationshipName, SObjectField field)

SOQL with(String relationshipName, SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2);

SOQL with(String relationshipName, SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2, SObjectField field3);

SOQL with(String relationshipName, SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2, SObjectField field3, SObjectField field4);

SOQL with(String relationshipName, SObjectField field1, SObjectField field2, SObjectField field3, SObjectField field4, SObjectField field5);

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .with('CreatedBy', User.Name)
    .toList();

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .with('CreatedBy', User.Id, User.Name, User.Phone)
    .toList();

SELECT

Allows to add parent fields to a query.

Use for more than 5 parent fields.

Signature

SOQL with(String relationshipName, List<SObjectField> fields)

Example

SELECT CreatedBy.Id, CreatedBy.Name
FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .with('CreatedBy', new List<SObjectField>{
        User.Id, User.Name
    }).toList();

with subquery

Using Relationship Queries

Use SOQL to query several relationship types.

For more details check SOQL.SubQuery class.

Signature

SOQL with(SOQL.SubQuery subQuery)

Example

SELECT Id, (
    SELECT Id, Name
    FROM Contacts
) FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .with(SOQL.SubQuery.of('Contacts')
        .with(new List<SObjectField>{
            Contact.Id, Contact.Name
        })
    ).toList();

count

COUNT()

COUNT() returns the number of rows that match the filtering conditions.

Note! COUNT() must be the only element in the SELECT list, any other fields will be automatically removed.

Signature

SOQL count()

Example

SELECT COUNT()
FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .count()
    .toInteger();

count field

Signature

count(SObjectField field)

Note! To avoid the 'Field must be grouped or aggregated' error, any default fields will be automatically removed. For example, in the query SELECT Id, Name, COUNT(Id) FROM Account, the Id and Name fields will be removed.

You can still specify additional fields, but they should be placed after the COUNT() function in the SELECT statement.

Example

SELECT COUNT(Id), COUNT(CampaignId)
FROM Opportunity

 SOQL.of(Opportunity.SObjectType)
    .count(Opportunity.Id)
    .count(Opportunity.CampaignId)
    .toAggregated();

count with alias

count(SObjectField field, String alias)

You can still specify additional fields, but they should be placed after the COUNT() function in the SELECT statement.

Example

SELECT COUNT(Name) names FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .count(Account.Name, 'names')
    .toAggregated();
