Quick answers to key questions
- Aura and LWC. LWC is built on standard web components and modern JavaScript, so it is faster and simpler. Aura is the older Salesforce framework. LWC can be used inside Aura, but Aura cannot be used inside LWC.
- Relationships between Account and Opportunity, and the types of relationships. Account and Opportunity use a one-to-many lookup. The types are lookup, master-detail, many-to-many, self, hierarchical, external lookup and indirect lookup.
- Can we edit a class, trigger or Visualforce page in production? No. In production, Apex classes, triggers and Visualforce pages cannot be edited directly. You develop in a sandbox and deploy to production.
- Trigger updates a field the user has no access to. Will it change? Yes. Apex runs in system context by default, so it does not apply field-level security. The trigger can update the field even if the user cannot see it. To respect user access, use
WITH USER_MODEor check access in the code. - What is a future method and why use it? A future method runs in the background when resources are available. It is marked with
@future, must be static and return void, and accepts only primitive parameters. Use it for callouts from triggers, for long-running work, and to avoid a mixed DML error. - What if a class has neither with sharing nor without sharing? The class runs in system mode for object and field permissions. For sharing, it uses the sharing of the class that calls it, and when it is the entry point (such as a trigger), it effectively runs without sharing. Always declare the keyword on purpose.
- What is an external Id? A custom field marked as a unique identifier from another system. It is indexed, so it is fast to search, and it is used with upsert and in integrations to match records. An external Id field can be Text, Number, Email or Auto Number.
