Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

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]

Issues

Please report any issues at https://github.com/forcedotcom/cli/issues

Contributing

  1. Please read our Code of Conduct
  2. Create a new issue before starting your project so that we can keep track of what you are 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. Build the plugin locally
  5. Create a topic branch in your fork. Note, this step is recommended but technically not required if contributing using a fork.
  6. Edit the code in your fork.
  7. Write appropriate tests for your changes. Try to achieve at least 95% code coverage on any new code. No pull request will be accepted without unit tests.
  8. Sign CLA (see CLA below).
  9. Send us a pull request when you are done. We'll review your code, suggest any needed changes, and merge it in.

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

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-sf-data-export

# 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
