FAQPage Schema

How do I prevent governor limit violations in Salesforce Apex code?▼

To prevent governor limit violations in Salesforce Apex, you must bulkify your code by removing SOQL and DML operations from loops. This skill enforces those bulk-safe patterns automatically during Apex class and trigger development.

What is bulkification in Apex and when do I need it?▼

Bulkification in Apex is structuring code to process multiple records simultaneously to avoid hitting Salesforce governor limits. You need it whenever writing trigger handlers or service classes that handle bulk data operations.

Can I use this to review existing Apex classes and triggers for security vulnerabilities?▼

Yes, you can use this skill to review existing Apex classes and triggers for security vulnerabilities. It applies the NimbleUser Apex Style Guide to identify anti-patterns and ensure proper exception handling during code review.

What's the best way to enforce consistent Apex formatting and naming conventions?▼

The best way to enforce consistent Apex formatting is by applying a strict style guide like NimbleUser's. This skill automatically guides K&R brace style, ApexDoc standards, and naming conventions across your Salesforce repository.

How do I structure Apex code to follow repository and service layer architectural patterns?▼

To structure Apex code following repository and service layer patterns, you separate database access logic from business logic. This skill enforces those architectural patterns to ensure clean, maintainable, and bulk-safe Salesforce code.

Why does my Salesforce Apex trigger fail when updating multiple records at once?▼

Your Apex trigger likely fails during bulk updates because it contains SOQL or DML statements inside a loop, hitting governor limits. This skill identifies these anti-patterns and guides you to write bulkified trigger handlers.
