Session Summary by Einstein: In this Dreamforce session, Andrés, Nicolas, and Shane from Salesforce and Slalom demonstrated how to build a CLI plugin. They showcased the process of creating a command that installs a package based on a public open-source GitHub repo. The team highlighted the importance of designing commands that are clear, consistent, and well-documented. The session also covered the use of tests and the importance of having a return type for commands. The team concluded by encouraging attendees to contribute to the maintenance and improvement of plugins.
Key Takeaways by Einstein:
  1. • The session demonstrated how to build a CLI plugin command, showcasing the tooling added to simplify the process, including generating commands and tests, and providing extensive documentation and sample code.
  2. • The new CLI version 2 has a style guide with structured commands and no namespaces, allowing for a more unified and user-friendly experience. It also includes built-in building blocks for adding interactivity to commands.
  3. • The session highlighted potential areas for plugin development, including CI/CD, documentation and code quality, data management and visualization, and general productivity, encouraging attendees to contribute to existing plugins or create their own.
