Open SOQL

Open source implementation of the SOQL.
You can query everything you want by defining the resolvers.

SOQL is an object-oriented query language that allows you to query related data based on an object graph.

⚙️ Install

npm install open-soql

NOTICE:
Use with webpack >= 5

If you get the error:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '(importing/path/to/filename)'
in '(path/to/node_modules/path/to/dirname)'
Did you mean '(filename).js'?`

Add following setting to your webpack.config.js.

{
    test: /\.m?js/,
    resolve: {
        fullySpecified: false,
    },
},

On webpack >= 5, the extension in the request is mandatory for it to be fully specified if the origin is a '.mjs' file or a '.js' file where the package.json contains '"type": "module"'.

Pre-compiled query

• Non-parameterized query.
  (Template literal parameters will be interpreted before compiling.)

const query = compile`Select id from account where id > ${'100'}`;
const result = await query.execute<Partial<Account>>();

• Named parameterized query.

const query = compile`Select id from account where id > :idGreaterThan`;
const result = await query.execute<Partial<Account>>({ idGreaterThan: '100' });

You can use parameters on the right side of the conditional expression, function arguments, limit, and offset.

Aggregate

const aggregationResult = await soql<ContactAgg>`
    Select
        count()
      , count(id) cnt
      , sum(bar) sum
      , cast_string(12345) str

        Contact
    where
        foo > ''
    group by Region
    having count(id) > 0
`;
// aggregationResult is [{...}, ...]

DML (bulk)

const inserted = await insert('Contact', [{
    Name: 'foo',
}]);
// inserted is [{ Id: 'Contact/1', Name: 'foo' }]
 
const updated = await update('Contact', inserted);
// updated is [{ Id: 'Contact/1', Name: 'foo' }]
 
await remove('Contact', updated);
 
const selected = await soql<Partial<Contact>>`Select Id, Name from Contact`;
const updated2 = await update('Contact', selected);

DML (single record)

const inserted = await insert('Contact', {
    Name: 'foo',
});
// inserted is { Id: 'Contact/1', Name: 'foo' }
 
const updated = await update('Contact', inserted);
// updated is { Id: 'Contact/1', Name: 'foo' }
 
await remove('Contact', updated);

Execute commands within a transaction

await transaction(async (commands, tr) => {
    const { compile, soql, insert, update, remove, touch, notifyRemoved } = commands;
 
    const inserted = await insert('Contact', [{

    const query = compile`Select id from account where id > ${'100'}`;
    const selectedAccounts = await query.execute<Partial<Account>>();
});

Publish / Subscribe messaging

If query conditions includes computed fields, QueryResolverFn's parameter conditions will be [].
To get complete conditions, use parameter ctx.conditions.
You can get transformed conditions that include only the fields you specified by using getIndexFieldConditions().
