The Trigger.isExecuting context variable in Salesforce is a Boolean value that indicates whether the code is currently executing within the context of a trigger. In my experience, this variable is particularly useful when you have shared utility classes or methods that might be called both from within a trigger and from other parts of the system, such as Visualforce pages or batch Apex.
public class MyUtilityClass {
public static void performAction() {
if (Trigger.isExecuting) {
// Logic specific to trigger execution
System.debug('Executed within a trigger');
} else {
// Logic for non-trigger execution
System.debug('Executed outside of a trigger');
}
}
}
