# plugin-templates
This repository provides a series of commands, templates, and generators for various metadata types.
[](https://snyk.io/test/github/salesforcecli/plugin-templates)
[](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-templates/blob/master/package.json)
# Getting Started
To use, install the [Salesforce CLI](https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli) and run the following commands.
```
Verify the CLI is installed
$ sfdx (-v | --version)
Install the /plugin-templates plugin
$ sfdx plugins:install /plugin-templates
To run a command
$ sfdx [command]
```
## Install
1. Clone the repository, and `cd` into it.
```sh
git clone git.com:salesforcecli/plugin-templates.git
```
2. Ensure you have [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) 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](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-templates).
1. 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.
1. Fork this repository.
1. The [build](#build) section has details on how to set up your environment.
1. 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.
1. Edit the code in your fork.
1. Sign CLA (see [CLA](#cla)).
1. 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](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli). To ensure correct formatting, use our VS Code Task `Commit`. with `yarn run commit`.
1. 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.
1. 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:
```sh
./bin/dev force:apex:class:create --classname 'TestClass' --template 'DefaultApexClass' --outputdir ./testsoutput/myApex/
```
Link your plugin to Salesforce CLI:
```sh
sfdx plugins:link .
```
Verify plugin is linked:
```sh
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:
```sh-session
$ sfdx hello:org -u myOrg.com --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:
```sh-session
$ 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
