Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

mdapi-smart-deploy

Salesforce meta-data API smart deploy to sandboxes (don't use this for production)

About

mdapi:deployrequires that all the code on your filesystem at the time of deploy, be defined in package.xml. See details here.

I wanted to track all my sfdc in one repo, and be able to only deploy the metadata files that I'm working on at the moment, via the sfdx mdapi:deploy CLI command. mdapi-smart-deploy to the rescue..

Overview

In a deploy-metadata.yaml specify what you want to deploy, and mdapi-smart-deploy will:

  1. Create a zip file containing a dynamically generated package.xml, with only the files you want to deploy.
  2. Invokes sfdx force:mdapi:deploy against your sandbox.
  3. Checks status of the deploy and reports errors

Usage

  1. Make sure the root of your git repo has a src dir (containing your SFDC source). src/package.xml can exist, it will be ignored.

  2. Set the enviornment var SFDC_SANDBOX_USERNAME to your sandbox username. Run sfdx force:org:list to view your usernames.

  3. Create a deploy-metadata.yaml in your root specifying entries you would normally put in package.xml. example

  4. Run the following from the root of your repo

    npx mdapi-smart-deploy

  5. Before promoting changes from your sandbox (to prod for example), remember to modify your src/package.xml to include your changes (--only-gen-package-xml can help generate the additions you need to make).

Example

Please see the examples directory

Options

  • --src-dir: specify the directory your metata files (code) lives. Relative to the root of your git repo. Defaults to src.
  • --only-gen-package-xml: will ONLY generate and print package.xml contents to stdout. Will not invoke mdapi:deploy
  • --verbose: for debugging the tool

Known issues

Big one is, only a few metadata types are supported today. See this issue
