How can I accomplish the conversion of an email address into a list?

27    Asked by DorineHankey in Salesforce , Asked on Apr 22, 2024

There is a scenario where I have a set of unique e-mail addresses that represent the customers who signed up for a newsletter. I need to convert this particular set of email addresses into a list for further processing in Salesforce Apex. Explain to me how can I accomplish this conversion and discuss the potential benefits of using a list over a set in this particular scenario.

 In the context of Salesforce, you can easily convert the set of a list by using the ‘list’ constructor. Here is the approach given of how you can accomplish this particular conversion by using the apex code:-


Public class EmailProcessor {
    Public static void processEmails(Set uniqueEmailsSet) {
        // Convert Set to List
        List uniqueEmailsList = new List(uniqueEmailsSet);
        // Process the emails in the List
        For(String email : uniqueEmailsList) {
            System.debug(‘Processing email: ‘ + email);
            // Add your processing logic here, such as sending an email, updating records, etc.
        }
    }
}
Public class EmailProcessorTest {
    @isTest
    Static void testProcessEmails() {
        // Test data setup
        Set testEmailsSet = new Set{‘john@example.com’, ‘jane@example.com’, ‘doe@example.com’};
        // Start the test execution block
        Test.startTest();
        // Call the processEmails method with the test data
        EmailProcessor.processEmails(testEmailsSet);
        // Stop the test execution block
        Test.stopTest();
        // Assert any expected outcomes or behaviors
        // For example, check if processing logs were generated in debug logs
        List debugLogs = [SELECT Id, Application, LogUserId, LogLength, LogTime FROM ApexLog WHERE LogUserId = :UserInfo.getUserId() AND Application = ‘DeveloperLog’ AND LogLength > 0 ORDER BY LogTime DESC LIMIT 1];
        System.assertNotEquals(0, debugLogs.size(), ‘Debug logs should have been generated’);
    }
}
Here is the example given by using the java programming language:-
Import java.util.ArrayList;
Import java.util.HashSet;
Import java.util.List;
Import java.util.Set;
Public class EmailProcessor {
    Public static void processEmails(Set uniqueEmailsSet) {
        // Convert Set to List
        List uniqueEmailsList = new ArrayList<>(uniqueEmailsSet);
        // Process the emails in the List
        For(String email : uniqueEmailsList) {
            System.out.println(“Processing email: “ + email);
            // Add your processing logic here, such as sending an email, updating records, etc.
        }
    }
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Test data setup
        Set testEmailsSet = new HashSet<>();
        testEmailsSet.add(john@example.com);
        testEmailsSet.add(jane@example.com);
        testEmailsSet.add(doe@example.com);
        // Call the processEmails method with the test data
        processEmails(testEmailsSet);
    }
}
Here is the example given by using python programming language:-
Class EmailProcessor:
    @staticmethod
    Def process_emails(unique_emails_set):
        # Convert Set to List
        Unique_emails_list = list(unique_emails_set)
        # Process the emails in the List
        For email in unique_emails_list:
            Print(f”Processing email: {email}”)
            # Add your processing logic here, such as sending an email, updating records, etc.
# Test data setup
Test_emails_set = {‘john@example.com’, ‘jane@example.com’, ‘doe@example.com’}
# Call the process_emails method with the test data
EmailProcessor.process_emails(test_emails_set)
