Connect in Apex (developer preview)


What the heck is “Connect in Apex”?

§  Connect in Apex exposes many Chatter API resources as objects in Apex.

§  Use Connect in Apex to build Chatter integrations and custom UI on Force.com without making HTTP callouts to the Chatter API.


Let’s see some examples…

/chatter/subscriptions/subscriptionId HTTP method: DELETE

Chatter.deleteSubscription(String communityId, String subscriptionId )


Let’s see some more examples…

/chatter/feed-items?q=query+string HTTP method: GET Where feedType can be any type of feed (such as Bookmarks, News, Records, etc)

ChatterFeeds.searchFeedItems( String communityId, String q ) ChatterFeeds.searchFeedItems( String communityId, String q, String pageParam, Integer pageSize )


And another one…

/chatter/feeds/feedType/feed-items HTTP method: GET Where feedType can be any type of feed (such as Bookmarks, News, Records, etc)

ChatterFeeds.getFeedItemsFromFeed( String communityId, ConnectApi.FeedType feedType ) ChatterFeeds.getFeedItemsFromFeed( String communityId, ConnectApi.FeedType feedType, String pageParam, Integer pageSize, ConnectApi.FeedSortOrder sortParam )


Last example

/chatter/feed-items/feedItemId/comments HTTP method: POST

ChatterFeeds.postComment( String communityId, String feedItemId, String text ) ChatterFeeds.postComment( String communityId, String feedItemId, ConnectApi.CommentInput comment, ConnectApi.BinaryInput feedItemFileUpload )


Connect with Apex: New and Improved §  New and improved methods (just a few)

•  ChatterFeeds.searchFeedItemsInFeed •  ChatterGroups.requestGroupMembership •  ChatterUsers.updateChatterSettings •  ChatterUsers.isModified •  ChatterComment.likesMessage / FeedItem.likesMessage

§  New feed item templates to make feed items easier to render by defining their layout

Tooling API General

Tooling API: General Availability

Next generation API for building custom development tools §  REST and SOAP

Manage working copies of code artifacts §  Apex Class/Trigger, Visualforce Page/Component
