Some things you can do with your soup…• Register a Soup with an IndexSpec• Query a Soup using a QuerySpec• Upsert Data to a Soup• Delete Data from a Soup• Remove a Soup

Page 17: Developing Offline Mobile Apps With Salesforce Mobile SDK SmartStore

IndexSpec• JSON Object• Fields to index• “string” or “integer”[

{"path":"Id","type":"string"},

{"path":"Name","type":"string"}

]

Page 18: Developing Offline Mobile Apps With Salesforce Mobile SDK SmartStore

QuerySpec

buildAllQuerySpec(path,order,pageSize)Query all records from the object in the given sort order (or null order)

buildExactQuerySpec(path,matchKey,pageSize)Search for records with index path values matching the key.

buildRangeQuerySpec(path,beginKey,endKey,pageSize)Return all records with an index path value between the two range values

buildLikeQuerySpec(path,likeKey,order,pageSize)Basically “select * from [table] LIKE ‘%[likeKey]%’”

buildSmartQuerySpec(smartSql,pageSize)Basically “select * from [table] LIKE ‘%[likeKey]%’”

SmartSQLSELECT {departments:name}, {employees:lastName}FROM {employees}, {departments}WHERE {departments:deptCode} = {employees:deptCode}ORDER by {departments:name}, {employees:lastName}

SmartSync

Page 21: Developing Offline Mobile Apps With Salesforce Mobile SDK SmartStore

SmartSync• Extends Backbone.js• Can be used with or without a SmartStore Cache• Queries returned as Backbone Model Collections

Page 22: Developing Offline Mobile Apps With Salesforce Mobile SDK SmartStore

Backbone

• MV* Framework• Models: Individual records

• Collections: Collections of Model records

• View: Javascript backing for the stuff that you see• Router: routes everything after the # in a URL to application functions

• http://myapp.com/#/user/list

Page 23: Developing Offline Mobile Apps With Salesforce Mobile SDK SmartStore

Force.SObject• sobjectType: Account, Opportunity, etc.• fieldlist: ["Id", "Name", "Amount", "StageName"]• cacheMode: client, server write order• mergeMode: how to handle conflicts• cache: if using SmartStore• cacheForOriginals: for conflict detection
