Salesforce SOQL Builder

SOQL builder that simplifies the process of constructing complex queries to retrieve data from Salesforce databases.

Installation

Ensure you have composer installed, then run the following command:

composer require lyonstahl/soql-builder

That will fetch the library and its dependencies inside your vendor folder. Then you need to use the relevant class, for example:

use LyonStahl\SoqlBuilder\SoqlBuilder;

Features

Select
Conditionals (where)
Conditionals for date values
Grouped conditional statements
Where in
Where not in
Limit
Offset
Order By

Usage

Builder has two entry points for comfortable static usage: SoqlBuilder::select() and SoqlBuilder::from(). Both methods return a SoqlBuilder instance.
In any other context, you must call addSelect() and setFrom() to add the "SELECT" and "FROM" statements. See examples below.

SoqlBuilder::select(['Id', 'Name', 'created_at'])
    ->setFrom('Account')
    ->where('Name', '=', 'Test')
    ->limit(20)
    ->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
    ->toSoql();

> SELECT Id, Name, created_at FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Test' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20

SoqlBuilder::from('Account')
    ->addSelect(['Id', 'Name'])
    ->where('Name', '=', 'Test')
    ->orWhere('Name', '=', 'Testing')
    ->toSoql();

> SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Test' OR Name = 'Testing'

SoqlBuilder::select(['Id', 'Name'])
    ->setFrom('Account')
    ->startWhere()
    ->where('Name', '=', 'Test')
    ->where('Testing__c', '=', true)
    ->endWhere()
    ->orWhere('Email__c', '=', 'test@test.com')
    ->toSoql();

> SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE (Name = 'Test' AND Testing__c = true) OR Email__c = 'test@test.com'

Requirements

PHP 7.3+
Composer 2.0+
PHPUnit is required to run the unit tests

Running for development with Docker

We have included a Dockerfile to make it easy to run the tests and debug the code. You must have Docker installed. The following commands will build the image and run the container:

docker build -t lyonstahl/soql-builder --build-arg PHP_VERSION=8 .
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/var/www/soql lyonstahl/soql-builder sh

Debugging with XDebug in VSCode

Docker image is configured with XDebug. To debug the code with VSCode, follow these steps:

Install the PHP Debug extension in VSCode

Add a new PHP Debug configuration in VSCode:

{
    "name": "XDebug Docker",
    "type": "php",
    "request": "launch",
    "port": 9003,
    "pathMappings": {
        "/var/www/soql/": "${workspaceRoot}/"
    }
}

docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/var/www/soql --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway lyonstahl/soql-builder sh
Start debugging in VSCode with the 'XDebug Docker' configuration.

Testing

This library ships with PHPUnit for development. Composer file has been configured with some scripts, run the following command to run the tests:

composer test
