gulp-jsforce-deploy

A gulp plugin for deploying and retrieving Salesforce package, using JSforce's Metadata API feature. As it is implemented purely in Node.js, you do not have to setup Force.com Migration Tool (Ant, Java) anymore.

Setup

$ npm init
$ npm install gulp gulp-zip gulp-jsforce-deploy --save-dev

    gulp
      .src('./package.xml')
      .pipe(
        retrieve({
          // Filename is optional; uses name 'package.zip' by default.
          filename: 'pkg.zip',
          username: process.env.SF_USERNAME,
          password: process.env.SF_PASSWORD

        })
      )
      // If the extract pipe is omitted, then the zip file will be written to the destination.
      .pipe(extract())
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./pkg'))
      .on('finish', resolve)
      .on('error', reject)
