Zac Rosenberg List.add( value || 'default value')?
Hello,
After querying for Account sObjects, I'm adding all the fields into a List. The problem is that some Account sObjects have certain fields and others do not. While adding the fields to my list, I'd like to be able to add field if it exists OR add a default string.
Let's go through the example.
My map:

How can I achieve this temp.add(value || 'default value')?
Thank you!

My query:List<Account> accountQuery = [SELECT name, (SELECT name, id FROM Contacts) FROM Account];
My map:
Map<String, List<String>> Result = new Map<String, List<String>>();
Iterating through the queryResult and saving the values:
For(Account i : accountQuery){
String[] temp = new list<string>();
temp.add(i.name)
//Now loop through contacts subquery
if(!i.contacts.isEmpty()){
for(contact j : i.Contacts){
temp.add(j.name || 'No Contact Name Associated'); //Doesn't work
temp.add(j.id || 'No Contact Id Associated');
}
}
else{
temp.add('No Contact Name Associated');
temp.add('No Contact Id Associated');
}
};
How can I achieve this temp.add(value || 'default value')?
Thank you!
The above snippet uses a ternary operator that returns 'No Contact Name Associated' if Name is blank, otherwise the contact's name. The output of the ternary is then added to the temp collection.

For(Account i : accountQuery){ String[] temp = new list<string>(); temp.add(i.name) //Now loop through contacts subquery if(!i.contacts.isEmpty()){ for(contact j : i.Contacts){ if(ja.Name != null) temp.add(j.name ); else temp.add( 'No Contact Name Associated'); temp.add(j.id); } } else{ temp.add('No Contact Name Associated'); temp.add('No Contact Id Associated'); } };Note: If record is created in salesforce, then it must contains Salesforce ID value. So for all records ID is not null value, if record is got created in salesforce and In contact object Name field is mandatory field, so it also won't contain null values for the records.

Thank you both for your responses!
