How would we get recordtype id and recordtype name of an particular Object?

Hi All,

Sometimes it may require to know the recordtypeid and recordtypename of an object in apex class.This is post is all about to make you comfortable with Recordtype methods.I am assuming you have concept of recordtype. Below is few code snippet to make you comfortable with recordtype method.

RecordTypeInfo is a class contains methods for accessing recordtype information for an sObject with associated recordtype.

getRecordTypeInfosByName(); - Returns maps that associate RecordTypeInfo with  record labels.

getRecordTypeInfosById();- Returns maps that associate RecordTypeInfo with  record Id.

getname():- Returns recordtype name.

getRecordTypeId() :- Returns recordtype id.

isAvailable() :-Returns true if this record type is available to the current user, false otherwise

isDefaultRecordTypeMapping() :-Returns true if this is the default record type mapping, false otherwise.

Here Contact is the standard object and Service Contact is the recordtype name.

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult contactDescribe = Schema.SObjectType.Contact;  
        Map<String,Schema.RecordTypeInfo> rtMapByName = contactDescribe.getRecordTypeInfosByName();  
        Schema.RecordTypeInfo rtName = rtMapByName.get('Service Contact');
        system.debug('hiiiii>>>>'+rtName.getRecordTypeId());--- It prints recordtype Id
system.debug('hiiiiihelllooo>>>>'+rtName.getName());--It prints recordtype name.

Inline CCS Inline CSS is not recommended approaches, it is take highest priority among all CSS. style="color:green;font-size:10px;" is inline CSS added to div < template >     < lightning-card title = "Inline CSS" >         < div >             < div style = "color:green;font-size:10px;" > This is inline Style div </ div >         </ div >     </ lightning-card > </ template >  2. External CSS style can be applied to an elements such as h1, p,div span etc. It can applied to class using "." notation. for example .user{} It can also be applied to pseudo class.  for example .user:hover{} Id locator is not being used in LWC to apply style To apply external css, need to create separate CSS file, file name should be exactly matched with component name. for example - If component name is ...
