RForce-wrapper creates a concrete wrapper around RForce to make it more clear and easier to use. It currently supports version 21.0 of the Salesforce Web Services API.
RForce is a great binding to the Salesforce Web Services API. RForce transparently turns method calls into SOAP method calls against the Salesforce API. RForce-wrapper creates objects and methods that wrap RForce, providing a more concrete API against Salesforce's own SOAP API, and provides error checking and basic result parsing.
Detailed API documentation can be found at http://rubydoc.info/github/BinaryMuse/rforce-wrapper/frames.
RForce-wrapper tries to match the Salesforce Web Services API as closely as possible, matching method names and arguments. Most places where the Salesforce API allows an array for an argument, RForce-wrapper allows either an array or multiple arguments (via a splat).
All calls via RForce-wrapper have their results wrapped in an array. You can
disable this functionality by specifying the option :wrap_results => false
in the constructor to your RForce::Wrapper::Connection.
require 'rforce-wrapper'
# Connect to our sandbox.
sf = RForce::Wrapper::Connection.new('email', 'password' + 'token', {:environment => :test})
# Describe the sObject "Account" and get a list of fields.
account_description = sf.describeSObjects('Account').first
# Filter out any fields that are marked as deprecated and hidden.
fields = account_description[:fields].map do |field|
next if field[:deprecatedAndHidden] == "true"
field[:name]
end
# Fetch some accounts.
# Note that although the official API takes an array of IDs as the last
# parameter (see http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_calls_retrieve.htm),
# we're simply passing in additional parameters. An array would also have worked fine.
accounts = sf.retrieve fields.join(', '), 'Account', '001S000000MBfXAIA1', '001S000000QJAeZIAX'
accounts.each do |account|
puts account[:IsPersonAccount] == "true" ? "- Person Account" : "- Business Account"
puts " ID: #{account[:Id]}"
puts " View: #{account_description[:urlDetail].sub "{ID}", account[:Id]}"
puts
if account[:IsPersonAccount] == "true"
puts " First Name: #{account[:FirstName]}"
puts " Last Name: #{account[:LastName]}"
puts " Phone: #{account[:PersonHomePhone]}"
puts " Email: #{account[:PersonEmail]}"
else
puts " ID: #{account[:Id]}"
puts " Name: #{account[:Name]}"
puts " Phone: #{account[:Phone]}"
end
puts
end
