DX Project Template

1.Update the following properties for your new project:

• orgName in config/project-scratch-def.json file.
• name and description values in package.json file.
• Note that the standard Admin profile is in .forceignore. You may need to change this in rare cases e.g. AppExchange app.

2. Optional: update the sourceApiVersion in sfdx-project.json.

3. Update README.md of your new DX project.

Dev Tools

• SFDX Data Move Utility - powerful data migration tool.

  • After installation, see example configuration in data/export.json.
  • The idea for DX projects is to keep data/export.json configuration present in its repository so that everyone can import sample data into his scratch org easily.
  • Import can be run at any time, nevertheless, it is usually part of scratch org init task.
  • Import data from data/<sobject>.csv files using preconfigured npm script:

    $ npm run data:import --target=orgAlias

  • To export new data, you may need to update the configuration, see plugin's documentation.
  • Export data to csv files using preconfigured npm script:

    $ npm run data:export --source=orgAlias

  • Before committing a new configuration or data, ensure that import works just fine to prevent others having issues.

• SFDX-Git-Delta - prepare package.xml within seconds.

  • Handy tool for not only deployment-responsible people.
  • Git is a prerequisite. No remote repository is needed though.

  $ sfdx sgd:source:delta --to "HEAD" --from "HEAD^" --output .
  $ sfdx force:source:deploy -x package/package.xml -u targetOrg
  $ sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -d destructiveChanges --ignorewarnings -u targetOrg

• CI-SFDX-Plugin - set of commands making CI and dev's life easier when using scratch orgs.

  • Install the plugin, update configuration in ciconfig.json and npm scripts in package.json for your new project following steps on the plugin's homepage.
