LFOT

Light Force Operator Tools

It's like wrapping a big fuzzy blanket around sfdx!

---

Description

The goal of this is project is to aid in a command line based salesforce development workflow by automating processes that span multiple existing sfdx commands. i.e. automating describe and list commands to build a package.xml file

Updates

• updated tool/flist to honor maxBufferMBs for looooong field lists

• fixed meta/fest filtering namespeced being stuck always on

---

Install

1. Open Git Bash on Windows (WSL and Linux support experimental)

2. Run

   npm i -g lfot

Optional Configuration

While amusing the telekinetic spinner may be annoying in practical use. So this can be turned off via creating a settings file.

1. Open Git Bash on Windows

2. Run to create the lfot settings folder

   mkdir ~/.lfot

3. Run to write the lfot settings file

   echo "{\"showSpinnerDuration\":0,\"showSpinner\":false}" > ~/.lfot/settings.json

Disable command line feedback aside from command out put, useful for piping commands

1. Add the following to the settings file mentioned above

   "logThings":false

Increase the default list command buffer size to prevent max buffer errors when an org has too many members in one type
