Whenever I wanted to run a Salesforce CLI command, I had to switch between Command prompt and Salesforce CLI documentation and do the following:
- Search for the Command in the documentation
- Read about its usage
- Copy paste the sample command to command prompt
- Modify it to suit my needs
- And finally run it (BAMM ! ERROR 😋)
I had to go through this strenuous routine every time. What if all these can be done in one spot with just point and clicks? This thought pushed me to develop a Visual Studio code extension Salesforce CLI Command Builder - A GUI for Salesforce DX CLI
It provides a simple GUI (Graphical User Interface) to build, execute, learn & play around SFDX CLI commands from within vs code. It uses Reactjs for frontend code and standard VS Code Extensions API, nodejs & typesript for backend logic. Basically I am not a ReactJS developer. But the knowledge in Lightning Web Components helped me to learn ReactJS in no time (planning to write a separate post on my LWC to ReactJS journey).
