plugin-templates

This repository provides a series of commands, templates, and generators for various metadata types.

Getting Started

To use, install the Salesforce CLI and run the following commands.

Verify the CLI is installed
  $ sfdx (-v | --version)
Install the @salesforce/plugin-templates plugin
  $ sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/plugin-templates
To run a command
  $ sfdx [command]

Install

1. Clone the repository, and cd into it.

git clone [email protected]:salesforcecli/plugin-templates.git

2. Ensure you have Yarn installed and run the following to build:

yarn install
yarn build

Issues

Please report any issues to https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-templates/issues or https://github.com/forcedotcom/cli/issues.

Contributing

1. Familiarize yourself with the codebase by reading the docs and the templates library.
2. Create a new issue before starting your project so that we can keep track of what you're trying to add/fix. That way, we can also offer suggestions or let you know if there is already an effort in progress.
3. Fork this repository.
4. The build section has details on how to set up your environment.
5. Create a topic branch in your fork based on the correct branch (usually the main branch). Note: this step is recommended but technically not required if contributing using a fork.
6. Edit the code in your fork.
7. Sign CLA (see CLA).
8. Send us a pull request when you're done. We'll review your code, suggest any needed changes, and merge it in.

Pull Requests

Committing

1. We enforce commit message format using commitizen. To ensure correct formatting, use our VS Code Task Commit. with yarn run commit.
2. The commit message format that we expect is: type: commit message. Valid types are: feat, fix, improvement, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore and revert.
3. Before commit and push, Husky runs several hooks to ensure the commit message is in the correct format and that everything lints and compiles properly.

CLA

External contributors will be required to sign a Contributor's License Agreement. You can do so by going to https://cla.salesforce.com/sign-cla.

Build

Developing Plugin

To test plugin locally, use bin/dev in place of sfdx. For example:

./bin/dev force:apex:class:create --classname 'TestClass' --template 'DefaultApexClass' --outputdir ./testsoutput/myApex/

Link your plugin to Salesforce CLI:

sfdx plugins:link .

Verify plugin is linked:

sfdx plugins

To test plugin locally with Salesforce CLI, add "@salesforce/plugin-templates": "file://path/to/plugin-templates" to the plugin's package.json.

Debugging Your Plugin

We recommend using the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) IDE for your plugin development. Included in the .vscode directory of this plugin is a launch.json config file, which allows you to attach a debugger to the node process when running your commands.

To debug the hello:org command:

1. If you linked your plugin to the Salesforce CLI, call your command with the dev-suspend switch:

$ sfdx hello:org -u [email protected] --dev-suspend

Alternatively, to call your command using the bin/dev script, set the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable to --inspect-brk when starting the debugger:

$ NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect-brk ./bin/dev force:apex:class:create --classname 'TestClass' --template 'DefaultApexClass' --outputdir ./testsoutput/myApex/

2. Set some breakpoints in your command code.
3. Click on the Debug icon in the Activity Bar on the side of VS Code to open up the Debug view.
4. In the upper left hand corner of VS Code, verify that the "Attach to Remote" launch configuration is selected.
5. Hit the green play button to the left of the "Attach to Remote" launch configuration window. The debugger should now be suspended on the first line of the program.
6. Hit the green play button at the top middle of VS Code (this play button is to the right of the play button that you clicked in step #5).

Congrats, you are debugging!

GLOBAL FLAGS
  --flags-dir=<value>  Import flag values from a directory.
  --json               Format output as json.

DESCRIPTION
  Generate a Salesforce DX project.

  A Salesforce DX project has a specific structure and a configuration file (sfdx-project.json) that identifies the
  directory as a Salesforce DX project. This command generates the necessary configuration files and directories to get
  you started.

  By default, the generated sfdx-project.json file sets the sourceApiVersion property to the default API version
  currently used by Salesforce CLI. To specify a different version, set the apiVersion configuration variable. For
  example: "sf config set apiVersion=57.0 --global".

ALIASES
  $ sf force project create

EXAMPLES
  Generate a project called "mywork":

    $ sf project generate --name mywork

  Similar to previous example, but generate the files in a directory called "myapp":

    $ sf project generate --name mywork --default-package-dir myapp

  Similar to prevoius example, but also generate a default package.xml manifest file:

    $ sf project generate --name mywork --default-package-dir myapp --manifest

  Generate a project with the minimum files and directories:

    $ sf project generate --name mywork --template empty

FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
  -d, --output-dir=<value>  Directory for saving the created files.

    The location can be an absolute path or relative to the current working directory. The default is the current
    directory.

  -n, --name=<value>  Name of the generated project.

    Generates a project directory with this name; any valid directory name is accepted. Also sets the "name" property in
    the sfdx-project.json file to this name.

  -p, --default-package-dir=<value>  Default package directory name.

    Metadata items such as classes and Lightning bundles are placed inside this folder.

  -t, --template=standard|empty|analytics  Template to use for project creation.

    The template determines the sample configuration files and directories that this command generates. For example, the
    empty template provides these files and directory to get you started.

    - .forceignore
    - config/project-scratch-def.json
    - sfdx-project.json
    - package.json
    - force-app (basic source directory structure)

    The standard template provides a complete force-app directory structure so you know where to put your source. It
    also provides additional files and scripts, especially useful when using Salesforce Extensions for VS Code. For
    example:

    - .gitignore: Use Git for version control.
    - .prettierrc and .prettierignore: Use Prettier to format your Aura components.
    - .vscode/extensions.json: When launched, Visual Studio Code, prompts you to install the recommended extensions for
    your project.
    - .vscode/launch.json: Configures Replay Debugger.
    - .vscode/settings.json: Additional configuration settings.

    The analytics template provides similar files and the force-app/main/default/waveTemplates directory.

  -x, --manifest  Generate a manifest (package.xml) for change-set based development.

    Generates a default manifest (package.xml) for fetching Apex, Visualforce, Lightning components, and static
    resources.

  --api-version=<value>  Will set this version as sourceApiVersion in the sfdx-project.json file

    Override the api version used for api requests made by this command

See code: src/commands/project/generate.ts
