What are @salesforce/apex-node's main functionalities?

Execute Anonymous Apex

This feature allows you to execute anonymous Apex code on a Salesforce instance. The code sample demonstrates how to log in to Salesforce and execute a simple Apex code snippet.

const { Connection, ExecuteAnonymousResponse } = require('@salesforce/apex-node');

async function executeAnonymousApex() {
  const conn = new Connection({ loginUrl: 'https://login.salesforce.com' });
  await conn.login('username', 'password');
  const apexCode = 'System.debug(\'Hello, World!\');';
  const result = await conn.tooling.executeAnonymous(apexCode);
  console.log(result);
}

executeAnonymousApex();

Run Apex Tests

This feature allows you to run Apex tests asynchronously. The code sample demonstrates how to log in to Salesforce and run tests for a specified list of test classes.

const { Connection, RunTestsAsynchronousResponse } = require('@salesforce/apex-node');

async function runApexTests() {
  const conn = new Connection({ loginUrl: 'https://login.salesforce.com' });
  await conn.login('username', 'password');
  const testClasses = ['MyTestClass'];
  const result = await conn.tooling.runTestsAsynchronous(testClasses);
  console.log(result);
}

runApexTests();

Retrieve Test Results

This feature allows you to retrieve the results of previously run Apex tests. The code sample demonstrates how to log in to Salesforce and query the ApexTestResult object to get test results.

const { Connection, QueryResult } = require('@salesforce/apex-node');

async function getTestResults() {
  const conn = new Connection({ loginUrl: 'https://login.salesforce.com' });
  await conn.login('username', 'password');
  const query = 'SELECT Id, Status, ApexClassId FROM ApexTestResult';
  const result = await conn.tooling.query(query);
  console.log(result.records);
}

getTestResults();
