SOQL Parser JS

Description

SOQL Parser JS will parse a SOQL query string into an object that is easy to work with and has the query broken down into usable parts.

This works in the browser as long as npm is used to install the package with dependencies and the browser supports ES6 or a transpiler is used.

Warning: antlr4 is a large library and is required for the parser to function, use in the browser with care.

Examples

For an example of the parser, check out the example application.

Usage

Available functions

1. parseQuery(soqlQueryString, options)
2. isQueryValid(SoqlQuery, options)
3. composeQuery(SoqlQuery, options)

Parse Query

The parser takes a SOQL query and returns structured data.

Options:

export interface SoqlQueryConfig {
  continueIfErrors?: boolean; // default=false
  logging: boolean; // default=false
}

Typescript / ES6

import { parseQuery } from 'soql-parser-js';

const soql = 'SELECT UserId, COUNT(Id) from LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime > 2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z AND LoginTime < 2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z GROUP BY UserId';

const soqlQuery = parseQuery(soql);

console.log(JSON.stringify(soqlQuery, null, 2));

Node

var soqlParserJs = require('soql-parser-js');

const soql = 'SELECT UserId, COUNT(Id) from LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime > 2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z AND LoginTime < 2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z GROUP BY UserId';

const soqlQuery = soqlParserJs.parseQuery(soql);

console.log(JSON.stringify(soqlQuery, null, 2));

This yields an object with the following structure:

{
  "fields": [
    {
      "text": "UserId"
    },
    {
      "fn": {
        "text": "COUNT(Id)",
        "name": "COUNT",
        "parameter": "Id"
      }
    }
  ],
  "subqueries": [],
  "sObject": "LoginHistory",
  "whereClause": {
    "left": {
      "field": "LoginTime",
      "operator": ">",
      "value": "2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z"
    },
    "operator": "AND",
    "right": {
      "left": {
        "field": "LoginTime",
        "operator": "<",
        "value": "2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z"
      }
    }
  },
  "groupBy": {
    "field": "UserId"
  }
}

Check if Query is Valid

This will parse the AST tree to confirm the syntax is valid, but will not parse the tree into a data structure. This method is faster than parsing the full query.

Options:

export interface ConfigBase {
  logging: boolean; // default=false
}

import { isQueryValid } from 'soql-parser-js';

const soql = 'SELECT UserId, COUNT(Id) from LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime > 2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z AND LoginTime < 2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z GROUP BY UserId';

const isValid = isQueryValid(soql);

console.log('isValid', isValid);

Node

var soqlParserJs = require('soql-parser-js');

const soql = 'SELECT UserId, COUNT(Id) from LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime > 2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z AND LoginTime < 2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z GROUP BY UserId';

const isValid = isQueryValid(soql);

console.log('isValid', isValid);

Compose Query

Composing a query turns a parsed query back into a SOQL query. For some operators, they may be converted to upper case (e.x. NOT, AND)

Options:

export interface SoqlComposeConfig {
  logging: boolean; // default=false
  format: boolean; // default=false
  formatOptions?: {
    numIndent?: number; // default=1
    fieldMaxLineLen?: number; // default=60
    fieldSubqueryParensOnOwnLine?: boolean; // default=true
    whereClauseOperatorsIndented?: boolean; // default=false
  }
}

Typescript / ES6

import { composeQuery } from 'soql-parser-js';

const soqlQuery = {
  fields: [
    {
      text: 'UserId',
    },
    {
      fn: {
        text: 'COUNT(Id)',
        name: 'COUNT',
        parameter: 'Id',
      },
    },
  ],
  subqueries: [],
  sObject: 'LoginHistory',
  whereClause: {
    left: {
      field: 'LoginTime',
      operator: '>',
      value: '2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z',
    },
    operator: 'AND',
    right: {
      left: {
        field: 'LoginTime',
        operator: '<',
        value: '2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z',
      },
    },
  },
  groupBy: {
    field: 'UserId',
  },
};

const query = composeQuery(soqlQuery);

console.log(query);

This yields an object with the following structure:

SELECT UserId, COUNT(Id) from LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime > 2010-09-20T22:16:30.000Z AND LoginTime < 2010-09-21T22:16:30.000Z GROUP BY UserId

Format Query

This function is provided as a convenience and will parse a query and compose the query with formatting options provided.

import { formatQuery } from 'soql-parser-js';

const query = `SELECT Id, Name, AccountNumber, AccountSource, AnnualRevenue, BillingAddress, BillingCity, BillingCountry, BillingGeocodeAccuracy, ShippingStreet, Sic, SicDesc, Site, SystemModstamp, TickerSymbol, Type, Website, (SELECT Id, Name, AccountId, Amount, CampaignId, CloseDate, CreatedById, Type FROM Opportunities), (SELECT Id, Name, AccountNumber, AccountSource, AnnualRevenue, BillingAddress, Website FROM ChildAccounts) FROM Account WHERE Name LIKE 'a%' OR Name LIKE 'b%' OR Name LIKE 'c%'`;

const formattedQuery1 = formatQuery(query);
const formattedQuery2 = formatQuery(query, { fieldMaxLineLen: 20, fieldSubqueryParensOnOwnLine: false, whereClauseOperatorsIndented: true });
const formattedQuery3 = formatQuery(query, { fieldSubqueryParensOnOwnLine: true, whereClauseOperatorsIndented: true });

    --query,   -q       A SOQL query surrounded in quotes or a file path to a text file containing a SOQL query.
    --compose, -c       An escaped and quoted parsed SOQL JSON string or a file path to a text file containing a parsed query JSON object.
    --output,  -o       Filepath.
    --json,    -j       Provide all output messages as JSON.
    --debug,   -d       Print additional debug log messages.
