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 🙏

Readme

sfdx-prebuilt

An NPM installer for SFDX, API interface for Force.com and all Salesforce DX features.

Build Status

Building and Installing

npm install sfdx-prebuilt

Or grab the source and

node ./install.js

What this installer is really doing is just grabbing a particular "blessed" (by this module) version of SFDX. As new versions of SFDX are released and vetted, this module will be updated accordingly.

Running via node

The package exports a path string that contains the path to the SFDX binary/executable.

Below is an example of using this package via node.

var path = require('path')
var childProcess = require('child_process')
var sfdx = require('sfdx-prebuilt')
var binPath = sfdx.path

var childArgs = [
  'force',
  '--help' 
]

childProcess.execFile(binPath, childArgs, function(err, stdout, stderr) {
  // handle results
})

Or exec() method is also provided for convenience:

var sfdx = require('sfdx-prebuilt')
var program = sfdx.exec('force', '--help')
program.stdout.pipe(process.stdout)
program.stderr.pipe(process.stderr)
program.on('exit', function(code) {
  // do something on end
})

Note: childProcess.spawn() is called inside exec().

Versioning

The major and minor number tracks the version of SFDX that will be installed. The patch number is incremented when there is either an installer update or a patch build of the sfdx binary.
