force-client-go

A simple client library for Force.com REST API written by Go.

Key features

• Create, read, update, delete, and query operations through a simple API
• Pre-defined and fully extendable SObject structs
• Any operations takes standard context.Context object (since Go 1.7) that can control canceling behavior
• Only using Golang standard libraries, no additional dependencies required

Setup

go get github.com/mikan/force-client-go/...

Sample

Authentication

cred := force.Credential{ClientID: "xxx", ClientSecret: "xxx", Username: "xxx", Password: "xxx", APIToken: "xxx"}
client, _ := force.NewClient("xxx.salesforce.com", force.Production, "41.0", nil)
err := client.Login(context.Background(), &cred)

SOQL query

var set sobject.ContactSet
client.Query(context.Background(), "SELECT Id,FirstName,LastName FROM Contact", &set)
for _, c := range set.Records {
    fmt.Printf("%s: %s %s\n", c.Id, c.FirstName, c.LastName)
}

Output of the above code:

0037F000004g6hzQAA: Liz D'Cruz
0037F000004g6i0QAA: Edna Frank
0037F000004g6i1QAA: Avi Green
...

CRUD

// Create
contact := sobject.Contact{FirstName: "Test", LastName: "User"}
id, err := client.Create(context.Background(), sobject.ContactObjectName, &contact)

// Read
var readResult sobject.Contact
err = client.Read(context.Background(), sobject.ContactObjectName, id, &readResult)

// Update
update := sobject.Contact{FirstName: "Test2"}
err = client.Update(context.Background(), sobject.ContactObjectName, id, &update)

// Delete
err = client.Delete(context.Background(), sobject.ContactObjectName, id)

CLI

Basics:

go run cmd\force-client\main.go -f config.json <OPERATION>

<OPERATION> by samples:

• Query: -q "SELECT Name FROM Contact LIMIT 3"
• Create: -c Contact -j {\"FirstName\":\"Test\",\"LastName\":\"User\"}
• Read: -r Contact -i 0037F00000Hc2GyQAJ
• Update: -u Contact -i 0037F00000Hc2GyQAJ -j {\"FirstName\":\"Test2\"}
• Delete: -d Contact -i 0037F00000Hc2GyQAJ

See -h (--help) for more information.

Future works

• BLOB in/out
• SOSL Search
• Composite resources
  • Composite requests
  • Batch requests
  • SObject Tree requests
• Other special endpoints
