Call Apex Class From Skuid Component

Firstly, we need to add two JavaScript URL in SKUID. To add URLS follow below steps-

Step 1 :

Go to page creation UI in Skuid then select JavaScript Icon {} to add JavaScript and then click on + icon to add (Snippet) newSnippet and select snippet and select ‘External’ in Resource Location and put Resource Name- apexJS and put ‘/soap/ajax/36.0/apex.js’ url in Resouces URL .

Now add another JavaScript URL, click + icon to add another (Snippet) newSnippet and select snippet then and select ‘External’ in Resource Location and put Resource Name- connectionJS and put /soap/ajax/36.0/connection.js’ url in Resouces URL .

Now Save the settings.

Step 2 :

Now add another snippet to call apex class. Then create snippet with click on + icon and click on that snippet then select In-Line(call this when you want call apex class onLoad event) in Resource Location and provide Resource Name and now double click on snippet or click on </> icon to edit the component to add class.

Now get the data from the models then create a variable to get the result from the Class.

Add below statement in Skuid edit page to call parametrized method from class.

var result = sforce.apex.execute(ClassName,MethodName, {parameter1:value1, parameter2:value2});

Note: Method parameter name text should be same in class and in SKUID page when calling.
