pkgforce

Provides utility functions for handling collections of Salesforce metadata. The library is implemented in Scala in a style that allows it to be compiled for either use on both JVM or node.

NPM API

The library is mostly written in Scala to support dual building for Java & Node. This model works well when you are also using Scala and is usable from Java but is more awkward for Node clients. To overcome this a small part of the library for resolving type names to paths is exposed in a Node friendly NPM module.

To use this, first create a workspace:

const workspace = Workspaces.get("mydirectory")     // Will throw on errors

Call findType on the workspace:

const fooPath = workspace.findType("ns001.Foo")     // Returns null if type is unknown

A workspace here is simply the directory containing Salesforce metadata, typically it's the directory in which sfdx-project.json resides.

Java Distribution via Maven

To use in a JVM project

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.nawforce</groupId>
    <artifactId>pkgforce</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.3/version>
</dependency>

Scala/Scala.js

For scala.js:

libraryDependencies += "com.github.nawforce" %%% "pkgforce" % "2.3.3"

For scala:

libraryDependencies += "com.github.nawforce" % "pkgforce" % "2.3.3"

Building

The dual build (Java & JS) is handled by sbt:

sbt build

To run tests:

sbt test

A maven pom.xml is also provided to aid compatibility with IntelliJ. See top level README.md for details on use.
