Using the template

This repository provides a template for creating a plugin for the Salesforce CLI. To convert this template to a working plugin:

  1. Please get in touch with the Platform CLI team. We want to help you develop your plugin.

  2. Generate your plugin:

    sf plugins install dev
sf dev generate plugin

git init -b main
git add . && git commit -m "chore: initial commit"

  3. Create your plugin's repo in the salesforcecli github org

  4. When you're ready, replace the contents of this README with the information you want.

Learn about sf plugins

Salesforce CLI plugins are based on the oclif plugin framework. Read the plugin developer guide to learn about Salesforce CLI plugin development.

This repository contains a lot of additional scripts and tools to help with general Salesforce node development and enforce coding standards. You should familiarize yourself with some of the node developer packages used by Salesforce. There is also a default circleci config using the release management orb standards.

Additionally, there are some additional tests that the Salesforce CLI will enforce if this plugin is ever bundled with the CLI. These test are included by default under the posttest script and it is required to keep these tests active in your plugin if you plan to have it bundled.

Tooling

Everything past here is only a suggestion as to what should be in your specific plugin's description

This plugin is bundled with the Salesforce CLI. For more information on the CLI, read the getting started guide.

We always recommend using the latest version of these commands bundled with the CLI, however, you can install a specific version or tag if needed.

Install

sf plugins install @salesforce/[email protected]

Build

To build the plugin locally, make sure to have yarn installed and run the following commands:

# Clone the repository
git clone [email protected]:salesforcecli/plugin-template-sf

# Install the dependencies and compile
yarn && yarn build

To use your plugin, run using the local ./bin/dev or ./bin/dev.cmd file.

# Run using local run file.
./bin/dev hello world

There should be no differences when running via the Salesforce CLI or using the local run file. However, it can be useful to link the plugin to do some additional testing or run your commands from anywhere on your machine.

# Link your plugin to the sf cli
sf plugins link .
# To verify
sf plugins
