Salesforce – Get the Record Type Id of any object with out querying it in Trigger or Apex Class

Solution Approach – We need to use describe SObject for this.

Sample Code  -

        //To get the record Type Id for Account – Record Type Name is “Person Account”

                    //Get all the Record Types of Account and store it in a map.

    Map <String,Schema.RecordTypeInfo> recordTypes =        Account.sObjectType.getDescribe().getRecordTypeInfosByName();

     //Get the record type id of from the Map based on the Name

    Id RecTypeId = recordTypes.get('Person Account').getRecordTypeId());
