Salesforce DX Essentials

SFDX ESSENTIALS PLUGIN

Toolbox for Salesforce DX to provide some very helpful additional features to base sfdx commands.

SFDX Essentials commands are focused on DevOps, but not only (cleaning, sources consistency check ...)

Easy to integrate in a CD/CI process (Jenkins Pipeline,CircleCI...)

INSTALLATION

    sfdx plugins:install sfdx-essentials

Windows users: sfdx plugin generator is bugged on windows (hardcode call of linux rm instruction) , so you may use Git Bash to run this code ( at least while it installs the plugin dependencies )
CI Users: As the plugin is not signed, to install it from a Dockerfile or a script:

    echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-essentials

UPGRADE

Its seems that sfdx plugins:update does not always work, in that case , uninstall then reinstall the plugin

    sfdx plugins:uninstall sfdx-essentials
    sfdx plugins:install sfdx-essentials

CONTRIBUTE

Contributions are very welcome, please run npm run lint:fix and npm run test before making a new PR

Fork the repo and clone it on your computer
To debug, run $ sfdx plugins:link or use $ NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect-brk bin/run yourcommand
Now your calls to sfdx essentials are performed on your local sources
Once your code is ready, documented and linted, please make a pull request :)

See code: src/commands/essentials/metadata/filter-from-packagexml.ts

`sfdx essentials:metadata:filter-xml-content`

Filter content of metadatas (XML) in order to be able to deploy only part of them on an org (See Example configuration)

USAGE
  $ sfdx essentials:metadata:filter-xml-content

OPTIONS
  -c, --configFile=configFile      Config JSON file path
  -i, --inputfolder=inputfolder    Input folder (default: "." )
  -o, --outputfolder=outputfolder  Output folder (default: parentFolder + _xml_content_filtered)
  --noinsight                      Do not send anonymous usage stats

DESCRIPTION
  When you perform deployments from one org to another, the features activated in the target org may not fit the content 
  of the sfdx/metadata files extracted from the source org.

  You may need to filter some elements in the XML files, for example in the Profiles

  This script requires a filter-config.json file

ALIASES
  $ sfdx essentials:filter-xml-content

EXAMPLES
  sfdx essentials:filter-xml-content -i "./mdapi_output"
  sfdx essentials:filter-xml-content -i "retrieveUnpackaged"

  Once you flagged a packaged method as **@Deprecated** , you can not deploy it in an org not used for generating a 
  managed package

  Before :
  // @Deprecated SFDX_ESSENTIALS_UNCOMMENT
  global static List<OrgDebugOption__c> setDebugOption() {
     return null;
  }

  After :
  @Deprecated // Uncommented by sfdx essentials:uncomment (https://github.com/nvuillam/sfdx-essentials)
  global static List<OrgDebugOption__c> setDebugOption() {
     return null;
  }
