Triggers

Triggers

fflib brings its own flavour of a trigger handler framework. Each sObejct should have its own trigger handler instance, and be tied to its respective Domain Class.

Naming Conventions

Triggers should be named as the sObject name with the word Trigger as the prefix:

  • Knowledge__kavKnowledgeTrigger.trigger
  • AccountAccountTrigger.trigger
  • PortalUser__cPortalUserTrigger.trigger

Basic Example

Create a new trigger for the sObject. Make sure you add the trigger points you need (before insert, after insert, etc.). The trigger should immediately hand off trigger logic to the respective Domain Class.

trigger PortalUserTrigger on PortalUser__c (before insert, before update) {
  fflib_SObjectDomain.triggerHandler(PortalUsers.class);
}

Testing

Trigger testing should be covered as a part of the Domain layer testing. The Domain test class should perform each of the basic trigger methods (insert, update and delete) so the methods can be properly tested.
