What are Salesforce Objects?

=> Salesforce Objects are database tables in which we can store our data to a specific organization.
In Salesforce, we have two kinds of Objects.
  • Standard Object:- The Objects which are already made by Salesforce itself. Forex. Account, Contact, Opportunity, etc. All are Salesforce Standard Objects.
  • Custom Object:- The Objects which are made by the User itself.
Can you create Salesforce Custom Object through Code?
=> The answer is Yes, you can create Objects through Code. But, for this, you must have a MetaDataService Class in your org.

Here is a link, MetaDataSerivce Class.

Let's see how we can.

MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();  
        service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
        service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();
        
        List<MetadataService.Metadata> metadata = new List<MetadataService.Metadata>();
        MetadataService.CustomObject  customobject = new MetadataService.CustomObject();
        customobject.fullName = 'My_Custom_Object__c';
        customobject.label = 'My_Custom_Object';
        customobject.pluralLabel = 'My_Custom_Object';
        customObject.nameField = new MetadataService.CustomField();
        customobject.nameField.type_x = 'Text';
        customobject.nameField.label = 'Custom created field';
        customobject.deploymentStatus = 'Deployed';
        customObject.sharingModel = 'ReadWrite';
        metadata.add(customobject);
        
        MetadataService.SaveResult[] results = service.createMetadata(metadata);
