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

Apex Switch On Sobject is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/apex-switch-on-sobject/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Apex Switch On Sobject Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
