Bulk Objects Guide

Bulk Objects

Bulk objects help us manage the data in the trigger context.

Here is how we typically use the bulk objects.

Trap.BulkObject bo = new Trap.BulkObject();
bo.newStream
    .filter(new CustomFilterFunc())
    .subscribe(Trap.F.updateField.apply('Subject', 'New subject'));

for(Case c : caseList) {
    bo.newStream.next(c);
}

We can see that we don't necessarily need to use bulk objects inside triggers - they can be used standalone.

Fundamentally a bulk object is a container with two streams(old stream and new stream) and one shared data, which we will see later.

Data Streams

Bulk objects contain two streams:

• oldStream This stream contains all the data from the old list in the trigger context.

• newStream This stream contains all the data from the new list in the trigger context.
