Create the APEX class to return field sets

[githubbob42]

Mingle Card: 2513 This should be similar to the GetUtilityUserInfo class but it should return ticket item field sets. Is there a way to add parameters to this call?

@RestResource(urlMapping='/GetUtilityUserInfo/\*')

global with sharing class GetUtilityUserInfo{

    @HttpGet

    global static String doPost() {

        string userinfo = UtilityUserInfo.CurrentUserInfo();

        return userinfo;

    }

}

(http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/38585/is-it-possible-to-get-an-objects-fieldsets-with-the-rest-api)

As for parameters, we should be able to pass them as part of the URL. e.g.

• (uri path/route) format('/services/data/v29.0/sobjects/%s/describe/compactLayouts/', sobjectType);
• (query string?) format("/services/data/%s/search/layout/?q=%s", org.apiVersion, sobjectType)

We'll need to do a little research on how to extract that info from within the RestResource...

I think that these will answer most/all of our questions:

• https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Creating\_REST\_APIs\_using\_Apex\_REST
• http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/1474/how-to-get-fieldset-fields-in-apex-dynamically-fieldset-name-is-not-static

@RestResource(urlMapping='/getFieldSets/\*')

global with sharing class FieldSetSvc{

    @HttpGet

    global static List<FieldSet> getFieldSets() {

       ...

    }

}

The salesforce restExplorer can be used to test the class:

/services/apexrest/getFieldSets?sObject=Ticket__c

I created a fieldset on the ticket object. This was the result:
