**/

public with sharing class SObjectIconController {

    public static String getIconName(String sobjAPIName) {
       
        String iconName;
        List<Schema.DescribeTabSetResult> descTab = Schema.describeTabs();      

        for(Schema.DescribeTabSetResult dts : descTab) {
            List<Schema.DescribeTabResult> tabs = dts.getTabs();        
            for(Schema.DescribeTabResult tab : tabs) {
                if(tab.getSobjectName() == sobjAPIName) {
                    List<Schema.DescribeIconResult> icons = tab.getIcons();                
                    for(Schema.DescribeIconResult icon : icons) {    
                        if(icon.getContentType() == 'image/svg+xml') {
                            iconName = icon.getUrl();
                            break;
                        }
                    }                  
                }          
            }          
        }
       
        if (iconName != null && iconName.contains('custom')) {
            Integer l1 = iconName.indexOf('/custom/') + '/custom/'.length();
            Integer l2 = iconName.length() - 4;
            iconName = 'custom:' + iconName.substring(l1, l2);
        }
       
        if (iconName != null && iconName.contains('standard')) {
            Integer l1 = iconName.indexOf('/standard/') + '/standard/'.length();
            Integer l2 = iconName.length() - 4;
            iconName = 'standard:' + iconName.substring(l1, l2);      
        }
        return iconName;    
    }
}


Now here we have used methods from Schema class. We have used DescribeTabSetResult, DescribeIconResult and DescribeTabResult.

You can learn more about these methods from Salesforce Documents.

How to update Field Level Security in bulk ?

Assign Field Level Security(FLS) in Salesforce Demo:- In this blog we will see the easy way to update Field Level Security(FLS) for Permission sets/Profiles in bulk. I have created a tool to make the Admins job a little easier. Before jumping to tool let us see the different standard approach we follow to update FLS in Salesforce.                     As an admin we usually update FLS from salesforce setup/UI. If we are working on a new Application with many Permission sets and Objects with 100+ fields it can be very time consuming task. Using this tool we can assign FLS in just few mins. Let us take an example. Suppose we have a new application and we have created 20 Permission sets and 8 Profiles .

How to create custom polymorphic field using LWC ? In this blog we will see how we can make polymorphic lookup field using LWC. What is Polymorphic field? A polymorphic field is one where related object might be one of the several different types of objects. There can be a use case where a customer wants to connect one object with multiple objects- i.e, relationships between objects or relate a child object to multiple parents's ojects.
