What is isExecuting in Salesforce?

Hi Shubham,

Trigger. isExecuting in Salesforce determines if the context is trigger or Visualforce.

If it returns true

then it is trigger,

Otherwise it is VisualForce.

For e.g.

public class TriggerContextCheckingisExecuting
{
  public Boolean updateContact(Contact[] conList)
  {
     // Will not update contact if method is called in TriggerContext
     if(Trigger.isExecuting)
     {
        // Do Not Update Any contact
        System.debug(‘ $ $ NOT updating contacts’);
     }
     else
     {
       // update contacts
       System.debug(‘ $  updating contacts’);
     }
     System.debug(‘ $ return ‘ + Trigger.isExecuting);
     return Trigger.isExecuting;
  }
}

Apex Trigger on Contact object

trigger ContextCheckTrigger on Contact (before insert, before update)
{
   TriggerContextisExecuting isExecuting = new isExecuting();
   isExecuting.updateContact(Trigger.New);
}
