Field History Custom Component

 We have the standard history for our fields in salesforce. We can use that functionality from the related list. Here we will see that functionality using component and apex class. This will be a generic code for custom objects. Just paste the id of the record for which you want to see history. Make sure you have enabled history tracking for that object. 

Custom History

Here is the apex class for JSON. Save this first.


HistoryWrapper.cls


public class HistoryWrapper{

    public WrapperClass_attributes attributes;

    public String CreatedById;  

    public datetime CreatedDate;  

    public String Field;   

    public boolean IsDeleted;

    public string NewValue;

    public string OldValue;

    public String Id;   

    public Wrapperclass_CreatedBy CreatedBy;

    public static list<HistoryWrapper> parse(String json){

        return (list<HistoryWrapper>) System.JSON.deserialize(json, list<HistoryWrapper>.class);

    }   

    public class WrapperClass_attributes {

        public String type; 

        public String url;

    }    

    public class Wrapperclass_CreatedBy {

        public WrapperClass_attributes attributes;

        public String LastName; 

        public String Id;
