mgk-dx-plugin

Plugin for the Salesforce CLI

Features

Schema Export

Extracts org metadata to provide a list of objects and fields in a convenient Excel report. (Field attributes include the Description field!)

The default behavior is to extract all standard and custom objects. This will also include the schema for things like External Objects, Platform Events, or Custom Metadata Types.

• Use the --customobjectsonly flag to limit the output to just custom objects.
• Use the -s flag to limit the output to a specific list of objects. -s Account,Contact,MyCustomObject__c,MyPlatformEvent__e

Installation into the Salesforce CLI
