Creating dynamic objects in sfdc using apex

Hi,

Can you please suggest me that is there any way to create Custom objects dynamically in sfdc using apex? If so, can anyone please share a sample code which can create the custom objects, fields with lenghs, names and types.

thanks,
vasavi

Hi Vasavi,

Currently metadata cannot be updated from Apex (though it is in review by the product team-go here to vote for this idea! https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000l4TkAAI )

That said, Andrew Fawcett of FinancialForce created an Apex wrapper around the metadata api as a workaround that is worth looking into: https://github.com/financialforcedev/apex-mdapi


Best,
Scott
