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);

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.

    If you want your code to be more terse you can omit the System. and just use Label. with no issues. Commented Jan 22, 2015 at 11:29
  • +1 for using System.Label.[...] consistently. Helps to avoid debugging when also using a variable called label or another Apex Class called Label Commented Mar 7, 2018 at 17:06

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.
