Problem- Admin wants some value as configurable and set in custom metadata, now as a developer, we want to perform an action based on the matching of this mdt with values in say platform field on the account object
public Boolean validatePlatform() {
System.debug('Inside validatePlatform');
List<String> lstOfPlatforms = new List<String>();
Boolean isValidPlatform = false;
String thePlatform = 'Amazon';
//fetching the allowed sw platform from custom settings
List<Allowed_Platform__mdt> givenPlatforms = new List<Allowed_Platform__mdt>([
SELECT SDFC_software_platform_value__c
from Allowed_Platform__mdt
]);
for(Allowed_Platform__mdt mdt :givenPlatforms ){
lstOfPlatforms.add(mdt.platform__c);
}
System.debug('lstOfPlatforms = '+lstOfPlatforms );
//incase list contains the custom settings then do the comparison with platform
if(!lstOfPlatforms.isEmpty() && lstOfPlatforms.contains(thePlatform)){
System.debug('thePlatform = '+thePlatform );
return true;
}
return isValidPlatform;
}
