Apex Switch On Sobject

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Apex switch-on-SObjectType patterns — type dispatching across SObject collections, polymorphic handlers, the typed-variable binding that makes `when SObjectType varName` more than a tag check. Covers the single-type-per-when-block restriction, the null branch, the no-fall-through rule, and why `Type.forName()` cannot be used in a switch expression. NOT for basic Apex switch syntax on Integer / String / enum (use Apex Developer Guide directly), NOT for dynamic field access (see apex/dynamic-apex).

From the source SKILL.md

switch on over an SObject expression is the right tool for type-dispatch inside a heterogeneous collection — a generic trigger handler, a polymorphic processor, a classifier that runs different validation per object type. It buys two things over a chain of instanceof / getSObjectType().equals(...) checks: type-narrowed bindings inside each branch (no cast required) and a single explicit when else for the unhandled case.

What this skill does
