Using Custom Labels in a Class

Question

I have the below If statements using some hard coded strings and I want to make them use as custom labels. I have created custom labels with the same String names as given below. So how can I make these statements to use the Custom Labels I created ?

if(monitoringFrequency == 'daily'){
            return dateValue.addDays(1);
        }else if(monitoringFrequency == 'weekly'){
            return dateValue.addDays(7);
        }else if(monitoringFrequency == 'monthly'){
            return dateValue.addMonths(1);

Answer 1

You can access these custom labels like this:

if(monitoringFrequency == System.Label.daily){
    return dateValue.addDays(1);
}else if(monitoringFrequency == System.Label.weekly){
    return dateValue.addDays(7);
}else if(monitoringFrequency == System.Label.monthly){
    return dateValue.addMonths(1);
}

Do make sure that the names of the custom labels are correct.

Answer 2

We can put label in salesforce these ways:

Visualforce Page: $Label.Label_API_Name

Lightning Component Page {!$Label.c.Label_API_Name}

Apex Class String getLabelName = Label.Label_API_Name;

or directly System.Label.Label_API_Name

hope this helps you.
