In Winter’19 release Salesforce introduced Callable
interface in apex. The interface enables developers to use a common interface to build loosely coupled integrations between Apex classes or triggers, even for code in separate packages.
This interface has one method call(String action, Map
. It helps developer to call a method dynamically with the help of “Type” class.
Example:
public class SampleCallable implements Callable { //Method 1 public String method1(String stringValue) { return 'Welcome ' + stringValue; } //Method 2 public Decimal method2(Integer integerValue) { return integerValue + 100; } //Callable interface method public Object call(String action, Map<String, Object> args) { switch on action { when 'method1' { return this.method1((String)args.get('stringValue')); } when 'method2' { return this.method2((Integer)args.get('integerValue')); } when else { return null; } } } }
Execute:
Callable c = (Callable)Type.forName('SampleCallable').newInstance(); system.debug(c.call('method1', new map<String,Object>{'stringValue' => 'Biswajeet'})); system.debug(c.call('method2', new map<String,Object>{'integerValue' => 5}));
