Understanding Apex Triggers


Trigger Events :

 Events are the database activities which fires a trigger, this again is required for a trigger. So by this we can say Trigger is Apex Code that gets executed before and after of these operations.

  • Insert : Before and After
  • Update : Before and After
  • Delete : Before and After
  • Merge : Not directly, but both insert and delete trigger get fired for winning and losing records.
  • Upsert : Not directly, but both insert and update trigger gets fired
  • Undelete : After

Trigger Events :  Before Insert , After Insert , Before Update , After Update

Trigger Context Variables :

Trigger.New
Trigger.Old
Trigger.NewMap
Trigger.OldMap
Trigger.isinsert
Trigger.Isupdate
Trigger.isDelete
Trigger.isbefore
Trigger.isafter

Structure trigger like this :

Writing single trigger on a object is preferable always . Please make sure your using the trigger events conditions and manage your code well .

trigger Test_Trigger on Account ( after update , after insert , before insert ,
before update , after delete , before delete )
    {
   
        if (Trigger.isBefore)
            {
           
                if (Trigger.isInsert)
                    {
                        // Logic to be executed for Before Insert
                    }
               
                if (Trigger.isupdate)
                    {
                        // Logic to be executed for Before Update
                    }
             
                 if (Trigger.isDelete)
                    {
                        // Logic to be executed for Before Delete
                    }
            }
       
        if (Trigger.isAfter)
            {
       
                if (Trigger.isInsert)
                    {
                        // Logic to be executed for After Insert
                    }
               
                if (Trigger.isupdate)
                    {
                        // Logic to be executed for After Update
                    }
           
                 if (Trigger.isDelete)
                    {
                        // Logic to be executed for After Delete
                    }
            }
        }
