We have gone through few blog posts about SFDX and its capabilities<\/a> in past. In this post, I will explain steps on how to use SFDX with developer, Sandbox or Production Org. In short we will discuss\u00a0how to use SFDX with non Scratch Orgs.\u00a0<\/strong>We would be using official Salesforce IDE for SFDX, which is VSCode<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assumption – VSCode extension is already installed in your VSCode.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create SFDX project in VSCode<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Open VScode and press\u00a0cmd+Shift+p<\/strong>, It will give some option. Select SFDX: Create Project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"SFDX
    SFDX : Create Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Next screen will ask for project name and then location where to save.<\/p>\n

    \"SFDX
    SFDX Project Name<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Now, its time to know some basic SFDX commands. You can refer this post for SFDX crash course<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Using SFDX with Sandboxes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you want to use SFDX with Sandbox, then open file sfdx-project.json\u00a0<\/strong>in VScode and change\u00a0sfdcLoginUrl\u00a0<\/strong>to https:\/\/test.salesforce.com<\/a> or my domain URL if SSO is configured.<\/p>\n

    2. Authenticate Developer Account with SFDX<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"Run
    Run SFDX command in VSCode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Before authenticating new org, its always good idea to check if its already authenticated using below command<\/p>\n

    \r\nsfdx force:org:list\r\n<\/pre>\n
    if not, then run this command to authenticate Salesforce developer org<\/p>\n
    \r\nsfdx force:auth:web:login --setdefaultdevhubusername --setalias my-devhub-org\r\n<\/pre>\n
    3. Create package.xml<\/strong>
    \nbelow is sample package.xml, It contains Lightning Component and Flow<\/p>\n
