fferpcore.DataType

global static fferpcore.DataType forDescribedField(DescribeFieldResult describedField)

Input Parameters

Return Value

The corresponding DataType for the given DescribeFieldResult.

global static fferpcore.DataType forDisplayType(DisplayType displayType, Integer length, Integer scale)

Input Parameters

Return Value

The corresponding DataType for the given DisplayType.

global DataType(Schema.DisplayType type, Integer length, Integer scale)

This constructor creates a class which is a representation of a scalar data type. This holds information about the type, length and scale of the data type.

Input Parameters

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

fferpcore.DataType example = new fferpcore.DataType(Schema.DisplayType.Double, 10, 5);

System.assertEquals('DOUBLE', example.getName());
System.assertEquals(10, example.getLength());
System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global Object coerceToType(Object data)

Convert the given data to suitable data for the DataType. The input may be an Object, for example from JSON.deserializeUntyped. It may be a String from user configuration.

Input Parameters

Return Value

A new value suitable for the DataType.

global String getName()

This method returns the name of the scalar data type this is associated with. See Salesforce's DisplayType Enum.

Return Value

This service returns a string object.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

fferpcore.DataType example = new fferpcore.DataType(Schema.DisplayType.Double, 10, 5);

System.assertEquals('DOUBLE', example.getName());
System.assertEquals(10, example.getLength());
System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global Integer getLength()

This method returns the length of the scalar data type this it is associated with. If the data type has a length, for example String or Double, the length value is returned, otherwise NULL is returned.

Return Value

This service returns an Integer object.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

fferpcore.DataType example = new fferpcore.DataType(Schema.DisplayType.Double, 10, 5);

System.assertEquals('DOUBLE', example.getName());
System.assertEquals(10, example.getLength());
System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global Integer getScale()

This method returns the scale of the scalar data type this it is associated with. If the data type has a scale, for example a Double, the scale value is returned, otherwise NULL is returned.

Return Value

This service returns an Integer object.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

System.assertEquals('DOUBLE', example.getName());
System.assertEquals(10, example.getLength());
System.assertEquals(5, example.getScale());
System.assertEquals('DOUBLE(10,5)', example.toString());

global override String toString()

Display representation. Examples Boolean, String(64), Double(18,2)

Return Value

This service returns a string object.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.
