Support for Anonymous Apex?

[perbrondum]

Trying to truncate custom objects via the API i've hit a dead stop. One workaround would be to execute the following Apex: // List contentDelete = New List(); contentDelete = [SELECT CreatedById FROM WIWO_Content__c LIMIT 10000]; delete contentDelete; // Is there some way to call Anonymous Apex inside SwiftlySalesforce?

Hi @perbrondum - yes, you could execute anonymous Apex by creating your own struct that conforms to Swiftly Salesforce's Service protocol (example here) and calls the Salesforce Tooling API as described here.

You could also create a custom Apex web service that both queries and deletes records, and then call that web service via Swiftly Salesforce's apex method.

Another alternative: create a custom Service that calls the Salesforce Composite API to delete multiple record IDs as shown here.

Cool. Thanks. We will try that.

We tried the apex REST call but got stuck on getting access to the sessionId. Is there a trick to get the sessionId from connectedApp inside swift?

Thanks again for supporting swiftlysalesforce.

@perbrondum if you use Swiftly Salesforce's apex method then you won't need the session ID. You just need to provide the method arguments (or accept the defaults if applicable).

If you do need to retrieve the access token, you could get it via ConnectedApp's getCredential method.

Awesome. Thank you.

This is very cool, except I can’t seem to get the return type right (which I assume is json with status of the job).

*private* *func* bulkDeleteContent(type: contentSegment) {

    DB.salesforce.identity().sink(receiveCompletion: { (completion) *in*

        *switch* completion {

        *case* .finished:

            *break*

        *case* *let* .failure(error) :

            print("Failed to login. Error: \(error)")

        }

    }) { identity *in*

        // Call relevant APEX

        *let* method : HTTPMethod = .delete

        *let* path = "/\(instanceName).salesforce.com/services/apexrest/

(type)"

        DB.salesforce.apex(method: method,

                           path: path,

                           parameters: [:],

                           body: *nil*,

                           headers: *nil*,

                           config:

Salesforce.RequestConfig()).sink(receiveCompletion: { (completion) in

                            *switch* completion {

                            *case* *let* .failure(error):

                                print("Failed to execute Apex. Error:

(error)")

                            *case* .finished:

                                print("Success executing Apex \(type)")

                                *break*

                            }

                           }, receiveValue: { result *in*

                            //

                           }).store(in: &*self*.subscriptions)

    }.store(in: &*self*.subscriptions)

}

Error: Unable to infer type of a closure parameter 'result' in the current context

Hi @perbrondum It's difficult for me to follow the unformatted code, but let me offer this:

• For the path argument that you pass to the apex method: you don't need the instance name, but only the string value you defined in the corresponding Apex class' urlMapping attribute of the @RestResource annotation. (Swiftly Salesforce knows the instance name upon user authentication and services/apexrest/ is already assumed.)
• There's no need to call identity before calling the apex publisher.
• The return type is JSON with whatever you defined as the return value in the corresponding, server-side Apex method. Define a custom, Swift struct that mirrors the Apex output and then Swiftly Salesforce will automatically deserialize the JSON into that struct.

[mike4aday]

@perbrondum here's an example of calling an Apex method exposed as a REST endpoint. The @RestResource annotation is RandomAccount which returns a Salesforce Account record.
