NAME

WWW::SFDC - Wrappers around the Salesforce.com APIs.

VERSION

version 0.24

SYNOPSIS

WWW::SFDC provides a set of packages which you can use to build useful interactions with Salesforce.com's many APIs. Initially it was intended for the construction of powerful and flexible deployment tools.

use WWW::SFDC; # Import everything

use WWW::SFDC::Tooling; # Just the tooling API interface

use WWW::SFDC qw'Metadata Manifest';
    # Equivalent to importing WWW::SFDC::Metadata and WWW::SFDC::Manifest

CONTENTS

WWW::SFDC::SessionManager

Provides the lowest-level interaction with SOAP::Lite. Handles the SessionID and renews it when necessary.

WWW::SFDC::Manifest

Stores and manipulates lists of metadata for retrieving and deploying to and from Salesforce.com.

WWW::SFDC::Metadata

Wraps the Metadata API.

WWW::SFDC::Partner

Wraps the Partner API.

WWW::SFDC::Tooling

Wraps the Tooling API.

WWW::SFDC::Zip

Provides utilities for creating and extracting base-64 encoded zip files for Salesforce.com retrievals and deployments.

METADATA API EXAMPLES

The following provides a starting point for a simple retrieval tool. Notice that after the initial setup of WWW::SFDC::Metadata the login credentials are cached. In this example, you'd use _retrieveTimeMetadataChanges to remove files you didn't want to track, change sandbox outbound message endpoints to production, or similar.

Notice that I've tried to keep the interface as fluent as possible in all of these modules - every method which doesn't have an obvious return value returns $self.

package ExampleRetrieval;

use WWW::SFDC::Metadata;
use WWW::SFDC::Manifest;
use WWW::SFDC::Zip qw'unzip';

WWW::SFDC::Metadata->instance(creds => {
  password  => $password,
  username  => $username,
  url       => $url
});

my $manifest = WWW::SFDC::Manifest
  ->readFromFile($manifestFile)
  ->add(
    WWW::SFDC::Metadata
      ->instance()
      ->listMetadata(
        {type => 'Document', folder => 'Apps'},
        {type => 'Document', folder => 'Developer_Documents'},
        {type => 'EmailTemplate', folder => 'Asset'},
        {type => 'ApexClass'}
      )
  );

unzip
  $destDir,
  WWW::SFDC::Metadata->instance()->retrieveMetadata($manifest->manifest()),
  \&_retrieveTimeMetadataChanges;

Here's a similar example for deployments. You'll want to construct @filesToDeploy and $deployOptions context-sensitively!

  package ExampleDeployment;

  use WWW::SFDC::Metadata;
  use WWW::SFDC::Manifest;
  use WWW::SFDC::Zip qw'makezip';

  my $manifest = WWW::SFDC::Manifest
    ->new()
    ->addList(@filesToDeploy)
    ->writeToFile($srcDir.'package.xml');

  my $zip = makezip
    $srcDir,
    $manifest->getFileList(),
    'package.xml';

 my $deployOptions = {
    singlePackage => 'true',
    rollbackOnError => 'true',
    checkOnly => 'true'
 };

 WWW::SFDC::Metadata->instance(creds => {
  username=>$username,
  password=>$password,
  url=>$url
})->deployMetadata $zip, $deployOptions;

PARTNER API EXAMPLE

To unsanitise some users' email address and change their profiles on a new sandbox, you might do something like this:

package ExampleUserSanitisation;

use WWW::SFDC::Partner;
use List::Util qw'first';

WWW::SFDC::Partner->instance(creds => {
  username => $username,
  password => $password,
  url => $url
});

my @users = (
  {User => alexander.brett, Email => alex@example.com, Profile => $profileId},
  {User => another.user, Email => a.n.other@example.com, Profile => $profileId},
);

WWW::SFDC::Partner->instance()->update(
  map {
    my $row = $_;
    my $original = first {$row->{Username} =~ /$$_{User}/} @users;
    +{
       Id => $row->{Id},
       ProfileId => $original->{Profile},
       Email => $original->{Email},
    }
  } WWW::SFDC::Partner->instance()->query(
      "SELECT Id, Username FROM User WHERE "
      . (join " OR ", map {"Username LIKE '%$_%'"} map {$_->{User}} @inputUsers)
    )
);
