triggerable property from the object schema can be used to determine whether Trigger can be developed on that object.
Sample Code(Trigger not allowed):
Map < String, Schema.SObjectType > globalDescription = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
Schema.SObjectType sObj = globalDescription.get(
'ConversationEntry'
);
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult sobjDesc = sObj.getDescribe();
String sObjStruct = JSON.serialize(
sobjDesc
);
System.debug(
'sObjStruct is ' +
sObjStruct
);
JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(
sObjStruct
);
while ( parser.nextToken() != null ) {
if (
parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.FIELD_NAME &&
parser.getText() == 'triggerable'
) {
parser.nextToken();
System.debug(
'triggerable is ' +
parser.getBooleanValue()
);
break;
}
}
Output:
Sample Code for Account Object(Trigger is allowed):
Map < String, Schema.SObjectType > globalDescription = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
Schema.SObjectType sObj = globalDescription.get(
'Account'
);
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult sobjDesc = sObj.getDescribe();
String sObjStruct = JSON.serialize(
sobjDesc
);
System.debug(
'sObjStruct is ' +
sObjStruct
);
JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(
sObjStruct
);
while ( parser.nextToken() != null ) {
if (
parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.FIELD_NAME &&
parser.getText() == 'triggerable'
) {
parser.nextToken();
System.debug(
'triggerable is ' +
parser.getBooleanValue()
);
break;
}
}
Output:
Using this sample apex code snippet, we can find whether the object supports trigger or not.
