How to pull all fields from an object dynamically to visualforce page

Hi All,

I have a scenario as showing all fields from an object in a visualforce page dynamically. That is I want to pull all the fields and put it in <apex:inputfield> component for creating a record from that page.
But If I am creating a field in that particular object which should be added automatically without changing the code.

Thanks,
Rakshana

Hi Rakshana,

You have to use generic Sobject methodology to show all the fields into a vf page show that it can maintain dynamic nature.

So I am going to share u code snippet. With this uwill get a idea how to implement your own, and please igonre designing of my page because I am very poor in it :(

VisualForce Code 
<apex:page Controller="CompleteFieldController">
    
    <apex:form >
       
       <apex:repeat value="{!allFieldName}" var="key"> 
           <apex:inputField value="{!sobj[key]}"/><br/>
       </apex:repeat>
        
    </apex:form>
    
    
</apex:page>

Apex Controller
  
public with sharing class CompleteFieldController {

    Public List<String> allFieldName{get;set;}
    Public Set<String> showName{get;set;}
    Public SObject sobj{get;set;}
    
    Public CompleteFieldController(){
        
        
        sobj = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account').newSObject();
        allFieldName = new List<String>();
        Map<String, Schema.SobjectField> allMap = 
        Schema.SobjectType.Account.fields.getMap();
        for(Schema.SobjectField field : allMap.values())
        {
            
            Schema.DescribeFieldResult dfr = field.getDescribe();
            if(dfr.isCreateable())
                allFieldName.add(dfr.getName());
        
        }
        
    }
    
    

}

For the demo purpose I did this for Account object but you can change it as per your requirement.

Try using dynamic Apex, perhaps using a DescribeResult.
