react-scripts

This package includes scripts and configuration used by Create React App. Please refer to its documentation:

• Getting Started – How to create a new app.
• User Guide – How to develop apps bootstrapped with Create React App.

Forked for Salesforce

This is a fork of react-scripts. Along with the base scripts off the official distribution, this includes customizations for Visualforce pages.

Install

npm install -g create-react-app
create-react-app my-react-app --scripts-version salesforce-react-scripts

Configure

Credentials

Update your deployment credentials in .env.local:

• SF_LOGIN_URL - Login URL
• SF_USERNAME - Username of deploying user
• SF_PASSWORD - Password + security token of deploying user

Naming of deployed controller, page, static resource

By default, naming is inferred from the name field in package.json. For example, if the package's name value is my-react-app, the name MyReactApp will be used.

These variables may be configured in your app's .env file.

• REACT_APP_SF_PREFIX - Defaults to the value as described above.
• REACT_APP_SF_CONTROLLER - The page's controller name. An empty class will be deployed if it does not already exist. This value is used in public/visualforce.html and may be used in your code to reference @RemoteAction methods, eg. window[process.env.REACT_APP_SF_CONTROLLER].myMethod. Defaults to ${REACT_APP_SF_PREFIX}Controller
• REACT_APP_SF_PAGE - Name of the generated VisualForce page. The page is generated using public/visualforce.html. Defaults to the value of REACT_APP_SF_PREFIX.
• REACT_APP_SF_STATIC_RESOURCE - Name of the static resource containing containing the contents of /build. Defaults to REACT_APP_SF_PREFIX.

Deploy

yarn build && yarn deploy

The deploy script will:

1. Bundle the build directory and deploy it as a static resource (eg MyReactApp.resource),
2. Create a blank Apex controller (eg MyReactAppController) if one does not exist,
3. Deploy a Visualforce page (eg MyReactApp.page) using the template at public/visualforce.html

Service Workers

Service workers, such as the one included in Create React App, are not currently supported.

Configuration & Plugin Support (unofficial)

This is an unofficial fork that extends Create React App with an interface for plugins and custom config.

If a cra.config.js plugin doesn't exist, there's no difference than if you were using the official package.

Configuration

An ES5 module exported by cra.config.js at the app's root is used for configuration. Each property is optional.

| Property | Type | Description | | --------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | [plugins] | array | plugin references or names. default: [] | | [apply] | function | webpack config. default: identity function | | [babel] | function | babel config. default: identity function |

Example

module.exports = {
  // Load plugins by name and/or by reference. Loading plugins by name is for
  // convenience, eg. `'css-modules'` is the same as `require('react-scripts-plugin-css-modules')`
  plugins: ['no-minify', require('./my-internal-plugin')],

  // Webpack configuration
  apply: (config, { env, paths }) => {
    return config;
  },

  // Babel configuration
  babel: (config, { env, paths }) => {
    return config;
  },
};

Plugins

A plugin is simply an exported custom config without the plugins property.
