Trigger: Find out the name of the object the trigger is firing for?












2















Is it possible for the trigger to see the name of the object it's firing for? Say can I make the OpportunityTrigger be aware that the object name it's firing for is Opportunity without hardcoding the object name in the code?



EDIT



I want to use Custom Metadata to make Object_To_Track_mdt. Once a trigger fires I want to use the object name the trigger is firing for to see if the object needs to be tracked or not. Here's a very rough code sample I have in mind:



Object_To_Track__mdt trackedObject = [

                SELECT Id, 

                (SELECT Id FROM Fields_To_Track__r) 

                FROM Object_To_Track__mdt

                WHERE DeveloperName='Lead'

];

if (trackedObject  != null && trackedObject.Fields_To_Track__r.size() > 0) {

    // Verify if the modified fields for Lead need to be tracked or not.

}

          If you don't care about the delete contexts, you can just do:



          SObjectType triggerType = trigger.new.getSObjectType();


          It doesn't add much complexity, however, to use a ternary to check for the null case:



          SObjectType triggerType = trigger.isDelete ? 
          
    trigger.old.getSObjectType() :
          
    trigger.new.getSObjectType();

                    How to label and detect the document text images

                    Image
                    1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est.
