Tooling API + Salesforce1 = SalesforceD

Hope you all know about SalesforceA mobile app for admin, which helps to perform user management tasks like editing user details, resetting passwords, assigning permission sets, and unlocking, freezing, and deactivating user accounts—all from your mobile device, why can't we have an app for developers do some basic stuffs from their mobile phones? So I thought of bringing some basic activities of developers to perform from their mobile application. We are not bringing entire developer console functionality into a mobile, personally I don't think it going to helpful for developers, its difficult to write code in a touch screen keyboards.

First lets take a simple functionality "Checking overall coverage" from your Salesforce1. When I checked for the different possibilities found that Tooling API is the only method where we can easily bring the development functionality into mobile. Tooling API provides both SOAP and REST services that allow us to build custom development tool for salesforce platform. You can find more details in the documentation link.

Getting Overall percentage is straight forward in tooling api, ApexorgWideCoverage tooling object will the provide the overall code coverage of your organization, by running the query in workbench rest explorer will gives an overall code coverage.


OverallCodeCoverage

Now we know, how to get the over all code coverage. We can consume the REST API in visualforce page in many different ways. Below is the code which will give the over all code coverage of your organization.



Now we can able to view the result in a visualforce page. Lets do something more in that, lets visualize the data in a chart. There are many responsive data visualization charting libraries are available like D3,Chartjs,amCharts. In this example I have used amCharts which is very simple to implement the responsive dashboard.



Stay tuned for the next series of SalesforceD, will add some more functionality in a salesforce1 application. Here is the link to GitHub https://github.com/Karanraj/SalesforceD. Please feel free to share your feedback and comments.

Export records from List view – ListView API

As part of the Winter’15 release salesforce introduced the List View API features which helps us to get details and records of list views for an object. I was started exploring more about the List view API and trying to build an use case using that. So I searched about List View in the IdeaExchange site then found that many users are looking for a solution to export records to excel directly from the list view. I built a solution for that Idea, which helps user to download all the records directly from the List view for both standard and custom object. You don’t have to make any change in the code to use this functionality for different objects. All you need is to create a custom button for that object as mentioned below. Lets take an example for Account object 1. Go to Setup –> Accounts –> Buttons, Links and Actions 2. Click ‘New Button or Link' 3. Enter  Label, Name and select display type as ‘List Button’ 4. Content source as “Onclick Javascript” and paste the
