sfdc-trigger-helper

A pattern of Salesforce trigger helper.

Introduction

The purpose of this repository is:

1. to keep your trigger handler clean;
2. to streamline the trigger helper.

In most of the cases, the steps of writing a Salesforce trigger can be described as follows;

1. iterate through all the records which fire the trigger, find the cared record subset by certain criteria;
2. take some actions to the record subset;
3. sometimes take additional actions after the execution of the main actions (in step 2).

By using this pattern, you can define each business logic as a sub-class of a trigger helper. And you can define the three steps as the following method:

• filter()
• execute()
• finish()

In this way, the trigger helper will be clean to read and easier to manage.

This pattern is handler-neutral, which means you can use your favorite trigger handler framework together with this solution.
