David_ Static vs. Non-Static: Best Practice for Trigger Handlers and Classes
Hey there,
when writing Trigger Handler Classes and calling the respective methods from a Master Trigger there are different ways to achieve this. The keywords are Static and Non-Static .
In other words:
Given we have a method in our class that creates Assets from an Opportunity's line items (Opportunity Products).
Static - Master Trigger call:
I saw this approach quite often in forums and blog articles - is this approach generally recommended and reasonable?
Non-Static - Master Trigger call:
Can I consider non-static as best practice and if yes, why?
Looking forward to your feedback!

public static voidI was wondering what's the best practice to write and call a method from a Master Trigger. In fact both options will work - but I once read that going for non-static was always the better choice. Why is that?

Method declaration as static or non static is nothing to do with Apex Trigger Best Practice.
Difference is that Static method can acces static variable and belongs to the class whereas Non Static method and variables can be accesed only the object of the class.
Second Major difference is that Static variable can not be overridden.
