Improvements
Section: Performance Optimization
Issue: The constructor initializes a new Contact object every time an instance of MyCustomLookupController is created.
Recommendation: Ensure that the class is used efficiently. If there are processes where the Contact object can be reused or initialized through a factory method, it would optimize unnecessary instantiations.
Section: Governor Limit Management
Issue: There is no indication of any SOQL queries or DML operations in the provided code snippet.
Recommendation: Although not directly applicable here, ensure to utilize collections effectively if you later implement SOQL queries. Always bulkify operations by using lists or sets to store records and process them in a single transaction, minimizing the risk of hitting governor limits.
Section: Best Practices
Issue: The code doesn't include input validation or error handling, which is crucial for dealing with user-generated data.
Recommendation: Implement try-catch blocks around DML operations and validate the Contact fields before saving them. For example:
apex
try {
// Example DML operation
insert contact;
} catch (DmlException e) {
// Handle exception accordingly
System.debug('Error inserting contact: ' + e.getMessage());
}
Section: Code Readability and Maintainability
Issue: The code can benefit from improved formatting, as spacing and indentation do not comply with common best practices.
Recommendation: Improve formatting by ensuring consistent spacing and indentation for better readability:
```apex public with sharing class MyCustomLookupController {
public Contact contact { get; set; }
public MyCustomLookupController() {
contact = new Contact();
}
} ```
Section: Security Considerations
Issue: Without additional context or code, field-level security (FLS) checks are not present.
Recommendation: Always ensure that any fields you access are checked against user's field-level security settings. For example, before assigning values to the Contact fields, check if the user has access:
apex
if (Schema.sObjectType.Contact.fields.YourFieldName.isAccessible()) {
contact.YourFieldName = value;
}
Section: Documentation and Comments
Issue: The class lacks comments that describe its purpose and functionality.
Recommendation: Add comments to the class and methods to improve clarity, particularly about how and where it is intended to be used. For example:
```apex /* * Controller class for custom lookup functionality. * Initializes a new Contact object for user interaction. / public with sharing class MyCustomLookupController { // Property to hold contact data public Contact contact { get; set; }
// Constructor to initialize the Contact object
public MyCustomLookupController() {
contact = new Contact();
}
} ```
Refactored Code
Original Code
public with sharing class MyCustomLookupController {
public Contact contact {get;set;}
public MyCustomLookupController() {
contact = new Contact();
}
}
Refactored Code
public with sharing class MyCustomLookupController {
public Contact contact { get; set; }
// Constructor to initialize the contact object
public MyCustomLookupController() {
contact = new Contact();
}
}
