Intent


Allow communication with Salesforce using a set of Lisp compatible expressions.

Using simple functions we can create a simplified API, simple enough to generate code from data.

Expressions


Expressions are a simplified set of function calls. Outlining the operations needed to be performed.

An uncompiled expression has no knowledge of the internals of the adaptor, credentials or runtime environment.

It's the responsibility of the build process to provide a wrapper that will inject the functions in.

For example:

describe('vera__Test_Event__c'),
  create('vera__Test_Event__c', {
    vera__Test_Event_Name_Unique__c: 'hello from jsforce',
  }),
  create('vera__Boat__c', {
    Name: 'Catatafish redux!',
    vera__Test_Event__c: reference(0),
  });

## API

field("key","value") Returns { "key": "value" }

relationship("relationship_name__r", "externalID", dataSource("path"))

describe("obj_name")

query('queryString')

bulk('obj_name', 'operation', 'options', arrayOfFields)

create('obj_name', fields())

destroy('obj_name', fields())

createIf(logical, 'obj_name', fields())

upsert(sObject, 'externalID', fields())

upsertIf(logical, 'obj_name', 'externalID', fields())

update('obj_name', fields())
