Salesforce DX: Test Data migration using Salesforce DX

Here I am going to show case a small POC of Data migration using Salesforce DX, its really easy to use, and the process where you want to maintain the test data in different-different Sandbox, then Salesforce DX is for you.

So lets get started,
Before going further, if you have not installed Salesforce DX in your system and please go ahead and install it you system.

Here is the Trailhead link where you can find link to install and get to know more about SalesforcDX.

After installing open the git bash and check whether SalesforceDX got successfully installed or not.

So let me explain you a bit about this process using dx, here we will use two sandbox, one from where we will export the data and the other is the destination sandbox where we will import the data, now this is the first time process, where we are exporting the data from one sandbox, but if its recurring process then we will have the data in JSON format in our local machine, so we just need to export it to other sandboxes.

Please enter

$ sfdx force

If it show the cloud image made up of DX then its installed, now we will create a project first.

$ sfdx force:project:create -n web //create project, its not necessary you can skip this one also

//Add a new sandbox , on hitting this command it will ask you to login to you sandbox and authorize
$ sfdx force:auth:web:login --setalias my-sandbox --instanceurl https://salesforce.com

//after this do the same thing again and add another sandbox.
//Now if you want to check how many orgs you have added you can by below command
$ sfdx force:org:list

//you have to define an org as default to so that dx will fetch the data from that org. use below for the same
$ sfdx force:config:set defaultusername=abhi@sfdx.com.cloudy --global

//now export the data, here we are exporting only account data, but you can do allot more then this
$ sfdx force:data:soql:query --query "Select Id, Name From Account"

If you'll check that file that DX has created will have the content something like below

{
    "records": [
        {
            "attributes": {
                "type": "Account",
                "referenceId": "AccountRef1"
            },
            "Name": "Sinclair Community College"
        },
        {
            "attributes": {
                "type": "Account",
                "referenceId": "AccountRef2"
            },
            "Name": "The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc."
        },
        {
            "attributes": {
                "type": "Account",
                "referenceId": "AccountRef61"
            },
            "Name": "TestLastName"
        }
    ]
}

In the command prompt you'll be able to see the data count as well.

Now to import the data to another sandbox, you just have to hit another command, as its so easy so here are the things need to consider before hitting the command

1. Define the correct source path of the JSON file.
2. Provide the correct sanbox username.
3. Sandbox should be from the list of the sandbox added in the DX.

//to import data to sandbox
$ sfdx force:data:tree:import --targetusername abhi-tripathi@sfdx.com.cloudy--plan sfdx-out/export-demo-Account-plan.json

Your command prompt

Woohoo!! you have just performed the data migration using SalesforceDX

Get Started with Setup of SalesforceDX, using Salesforce DX CLI #sfdx

Summer ’17 contains a beta release of Salesforce DX, Salesforce DX provides you with an integrated, end-to-end lifecycle designed for high-performance agile development. And best of all, we've built it to be open and flexible so you can build together with tools you love.

So here we are going to start the setup of SalesforceDX

Step 1 : Create SalesforceDX trial org or Salesforce Dev Hub Trial Org, here is the link

         https://developer.salesforce.com/promotions/orgs/dx-signup

Step 2 : Enable the Dev hub in your org, perform below steps

Step 3 : Create a SalesforceDX user or you can use System admin user also, if your user is not a System admin, then create a permission set and assign the permission set to the salesforceDX user, permission set will have below permissions

Step 4 : Install SalesforceDX CLI

here is the link to download
After downloading the SalesforceDX CLI, install it.

After installing, it will by itself uninstall the git and re-install it again.

Step 5 : Use the sfdx-simple git repo, 

here is the link , we will get this repo in our system first, so clone it, follow below steps

Our first goal is to set up a developer project which we'll use to modify our application. It starts by cloning the repository. Use the command

             git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/sfdx-simple.git

Then, open the directory.

             cd sfdx-simple

Step 6 : Login to SalesofrceDX

Run this command, it will install the NodeJS by itself as it requires NodeJs, and by this command we are login in to SalesforceDX org, and authorizing it.

So after this login window will open, where you need to put your salesforceDX credentials, and authorize, after that you can close the window

Step 7 : Now we will create a scratch org,

The scratch org is also created through the CLI, using a config file.

Run below command

              

              sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json

So if you logged in the SalesforceDX org, you can see the data in Scratch org info. You are done as you've successfully created the scratch org.

Now, Push the repo metadata to scratch

      

       sfdx force:source:push

In the same way you can perform multiple actions using SalesforceDX CLI
to see more commands, enter

    

     $ sfdx force --help

Below are some commands you can use to create the metadata

To create apex class

        sfdx force:apex:class:create -n myclass

There are many things that we can do using SalesforceDX and SalesforceDX CLI, like continuos integration, source control and many more, soon will post about Salesofrce IDE 2, which can be used as of the important tool to leverage the functionality of SalesforceDX.

Here are some important links

Expanding the features of Lightning Component Using Visualforce page #Salesforce - Part 2

Previously we have used the Lightning component inside visualforce page, now this we are going to use the visualforce inside lightning page, and set some attributes default value on load of the lightning component using visualforce page, here what we are going to achieve is that we will load the visualforce page, and then remaining process of Lightning component order or execution will be same.



So here we are going to have a visualforce page, that will save/update the data in the custom setting, and the out lightning component will use the same data in custom setting.

So here is the visualforce page, that we are going to use in lightning component, and this page is updating the your custom setting.

Page Name : UpdateCustomSetting

<!-- defining custom setting here -->
<apex:remoteObjects jsNamespace="RemoteObjectModel">  
    <apex:remoteObjectModel name="MyCustomSetting__c" fields="Id,Field1__c,Field2__c">  
    </apex:remoteObjectModel>  
</apex:remoteObjects> 

<script>
//to save data in custom setting 
function updateCustomSetting() { 
    
    (new RemoteObjectModel.MyCustomSetting__c()).retrieve( 
        function(error, records, event) {
            if(records[0]) {
                (new RemoteObjectModel.MyCustomSetting__c({
                    Field1__c: '{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_XXX}', 
                    Field2__c: '{!$Api.Session_Id}',
                    Id: records[0].get("Id")
                })).update();
            } else {
                (new RemoteObjectModel.MyCustomSetting__c({
                    Field1__c: '{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_XXX}', 
                    Field2__c: '{!$Api.Session_Id}'
                })).create();
            }
        });
}

updateCustomSetting();
}
</script>

The way of using the visualforce page in the lightning component, is by calling the visualforce page using iframe.

<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >
     
    <div style="display:none;">
        <iframe aura:id="vfFrame" src="{!'https:// + YOUR_ORG_URL + dev-ed.my.salesforce.com/apex/UpdateCustomSetting'}"/>
    </div>

    //YOUR COMPONENT CODE HERE


    //assign the value to these in the helper by calling apex 
    <aura:attribute name="FIELD1" type="String" access="public"/>
    <aura:attribute name="FIELD2" type="String" access="public"/>

    Custom Setting value :: "{!v.FIELD1}"
    

</aura:component>
    

Using above code you will be able to use the custom setting field values in your Lightning component.

Hope it helps !

Expanding the feature of Lightning Component Using Visualforce page #Salesforce - Part 1

This blog post is all about using the lightning component with some extra feature that stand alone lightning feature doesn't provide some time.
Recently I was working on few Lightning component, and ran into a issue of requirements where

lightning component doesn't supports due to security issues or whatever.

For example
If you want to perform AJAX call using lighting component, you cannot bummer! here is link for reference Link

Another problem is that when you are using the Session Id on visualforce page, that session Id is different then what lightning component has. Bummer again ! So sometimes what happens if the third party is configured with your visualforce page sesion Id using "{!API.SessionId}" then your session Id generated in lightning component will no more support it.

Session contexts are based on the domain of the request. That is, the session context changes whenever you cross a hostname boundary, such as from .salesforce.com to .visual.force.com or .lightning.force.com.

So to resolve all this or another way to achieve these functionalities, you can you use Lightning component inside your visualforce page.

I am going to refer my component that I've posted earlier click here and use that same component inside visualforce pages, I am using sessionId and other thing in viualforce page and right away we can use those in attributes in lightning component as well.

<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:includeLightning />

    <div id="lightning" />

    <script>
        $Lightning.use("c:TestApp", function() {
          $Lightning.createComponent("c:RecordTypeSelector",
          { 
              sessionId : "{!$API.Session_ID}",
              partnerURL : "{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL__xxx}",
              recordId : "{!Account}" 
              
          },
                                     
          "lightning",
          function(cmp) {
            // do some stuff
          });
        });
    </script>
</apex:page>

Now you can use these below attribute inside the component

<aura:attribute name="recordId" type="String" access="public"/>
 <aura:attribute name="sessionId" type="String" access="public"/>
    <aura:attribute name="partnerId" type="String" access="public"/>
   

NOTE : If you are using you lightning component on some object detail page, then force:hasRecordId will stop working after using lightning component inside visaulforce page, so you need to remove it from "implements" tag, that is why I've passed the object Id as well.

Re Factoring of Flow Error While Running Test Classes #Salesforce

Hi folks,

Hope you all are doing great in your life, today I am going to post about the error we used get while running the test classes, most of the time all error are understandable, but after Process Builder ws introduced we got a new error while running the test classes, that say something like below

How to resolve this error now,


Go to setup and search flow like below

Click on any flow that you have in your org, and click Open link next to the flow.

After opening the flow paste the Id that we have in the Test Run in URL, like below

Now what you see after the page refresh, might not be the process flow can be a process builder as well, the good part is the name of the process builder name will be same, so you can search the name in the process builder name list. Now you have a process builder to look into and resolve your error.

Might be there will some other way around also to look into the error , but I got this.

Hope it helps
thanks !!

Lightning Record Type Selector Component #Salesforce

In this blog, I am going to create a lightning component which is a replica of the record type selector in lightning, its so simple, its a continuation of my last blog about lightning model link

So lets get started,

Here is the controller, which is fetching all the record type of the Account object

public class RecordTypeSelectorController {
    
    @AuraEnabled
    public static List<RecordType> getListOfRecordType(){
        String query = 'SELECT Id,Name FROM RecordType WHERE IsActive=TRUE AND SobjectType =\''+'Account'+'\' ';
        List<RecordType> rtNames = new List<RecordType>();  
        Schema.SObjectType  objType = Account.SObjectType;        
        
        for(RecordTypeInfo rt : objType.getDescribe().getRecordTypeInfos()){
            rtNames.add(new RecordType(Id = rt.getRecordTypeId(),Name = rt.getName()));
        }    
        return rtNames;    
    }
    
    @AuraEnabled
    public static Id getAccountRecordType() {
       Id ClientRecordTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Client').getRecordTypeId();
       return ClientRecordTypeId;
    } 
}

Now here is the lightning component code

Here is the component, if you have read the last blog about the lightning model, then it would be easy to understand this one

This is the Component code, here we have a modal and button, which will have functionality of opening the modal, and the other button will open the Account record creation modal which is standard.

<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes" controller="RecordTypeSelectorController" access="global">
    
    <ltng:require styles="/resource/SLDS103/assets/styles/salesforce-lightning-design-system-ltng.css" />
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" access="public"/>
    <aura:attribute name="recordTypes" type="String[]" access="public"/>
    
    <div class="slds">
        
        <div >
            <!-- modal body starts here -->
            <div tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="header43" aria-hidden="false" id="newClientSectionId" role="dialog" class="slds-modal slds-fade-in-open" style="display:none;">
                <div class="slds-backdrop slds-backdrop--open">
                    <div class="slds-modal__container">
                        <div class="slds-modal__header">
                            <button class="slds-button slds-modal__close slds-button--icon-inverse" title="Close">
                                <button class="slds-button slds-button--neutral" onclick="{!c.hideModal}">X</button>  
                                <span class="slds-assistive-text">Close</span>
                            </button>
                            <h2 id="header43" class="slds-text-heading--medium">Modal Header</h2>
                        </div>
                        <div class="slds-modal__content slds-p-around--medium">
                            
                            Select a record type : 
                            <br/>
                            <div style="margin-left:30%">
                                <aura:iteration items="{!v.recordTypes}" var="rt">
                                    <ol class="slds-list--vertical slds-list--vertical-space">
                                        <input type="radio" value="{!rt.Name}" name="recordTypeRadio" id="{!rt.Id}" style="margin-right: 5px;" />{!rt.Name}
                                    </ol>   
                                </aura:iteration> 
                            </div>
                        </div>
                        
                        <div class="slds-modal__footer">
                            <button class="slds-button slds-button--brand" onclick="{!c.hideModal}">Cancel</button>
                            <button class="slds-button slds-button--brand" onclick="{!c.createRecord}">Next</button>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <button class="slds-button slds-button--neutral" onclick="{!c.showModal}">Open Modal</button>
        </div>
    </div>
    
</aura:component>

Here is the controller code, which you can add to the controller which we have written earlier in the lightning modal blog, just add these two methods in the controller and we are done with the controller, init method is to initialise method of the helper and createRecord is a standard function which you can use in the lightning component to get the standard functionality of creation of the records.

createRecord : function (component, event, helper) {
        var rtDet = document.querySelector('input[name="recordTypeRadio"]:checked');
    
        if(rtDet != null) {
            document.getElementById("newClientSectionId").style.display = "none" ;
            var createRecordEvent = $A.get("e.force:createRecord");
            createRecordEvent.setParams({
                "entityApiName": "Account",
                "recordTypeId":rtDet.id
            });
            createRecordEvent.fire();
        }    
    },
    
    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {   
        helper.RecordTypeSelectorController(component);   
    } 
    

Here is our helper, where we are calling the controllers method, which will return us a list of the all the record type of the Account object,

({
   RecordTypeSelectorController: function(component) {
    var action = component.get("c.getListOfRecordType");
    action.setCallback(this, function(actionResult) {
        var infos = actionResult.getReturnValue();
        component.set("v.recordTypes", infos);  
    });
    $A.enqueueAction(action);
  }
})

You are done, now lets see how it looks,

Here is the modal having list of record types of Account.

And here is the record detail to create a new Account record

To run the above component, create a lightning app

<aura:application >
    <c:RecordTypeSelector />
</aura:application>

Here is the github Repo for updated code and deploying it salesforce Github

thank you !!

Lightning Tips for Visualforce Devs! #Salesforce

Hey everyone, today we are going to discuss about some great features of lightning, and how Visualforce developers should start utilising these features.

 Why Lightning ?

As per salesforce, lightning is the collection of tools and technologies behind a significant upgrade to the Salesforce platform. There are many things salesforce launched under lightning like Process Builder, Lightning App Builder, Community Builder are all build using aura framework.
Using Lightning component, we make business ready components, and the component are ready to use in Salesforce1, Lightning experience and communities.
And if we talk about the performance, then lightning calls the server whenever it needed not all the times, not like we do in visualforce pages, just for clicking a button visualforce calls the server, but lightning framework is not designed like that. because of that it increases the efficiency of the application.
Aura framework uses JSON to send the data to client and to the server, the best part is lightning development is faster compared to visualforce pages, as the application we develop lightning facilitates parallel design.

 What's the difference between Lightning and Visualforce?

As we all were using Visualforce pages, they were static, basically page-centric model, as we discussed earlier visualforce page was designed to help implement salesforce classic look and feel, where on click of a button, it will hit to the server, but in lightning its different.

Visualforce pages has optional use of Javacsript and CSS, using Javascript we can do some client side processing in visualforce, Visualforce was meant for desktop, later on after Salesforce1, we started adding more CSS or Bootstrap etc, to make our visualforce pages work with Salesforce1.

Its kind of changing our way of working on apps, Lightning follows app-centric model, with Lightning you can send an interaction to the Salesforce servers and then update a specific component, this make performance of the application far more better. We can decide in lightning weather to process functionality on client side or server, lightning component comes in Bundles, that has there own files, for example Component, Controller, Helper, CSS, Documentation etc, you can optionally define weather you want to use the controller or not. Developing lightning component is much more complex then visualforce as you building an app not a page. It supports the latest in browser technology such as HTML5, CSS3, and touch events.

Wait....what about my visualforce page ?

You can still use your visualforce pages, as still many things lightning doesn't supports, visualforce are still standing strong, Lightning can't make a Homepage Component, email templates, or render pages as PDFs.
Lightning is still growing and it will take years to remove visualforce pages from salesforce, lightning is a new age of development of apps, and visualforce pages are everywhere, people still have to think about before migrating an existing visualforce pages to lightning.

Switching Visualforce page to Lightning 

I still say it not that easy to convert your visualforce pages to Lightning, it needs allot of analysis and rework to change a visauforce to lightning. Using SLDS you can have look and feel of a visualforce like lightning pages.

These below link can surely help you learn and explore lightning experience and their advantages.

Lightning Modal Using Salesforce Lightning Component #Salesforce

After a long time I got some time for blogging, I've been thinking for a long to post something about lightning component, its feel great when you learn something, I've been now working on lightning for more then 6 months now, learned somethings about the SLDS (Salesforce Lightning Design System) and still learning about lightning Components,

Lightning Component Framework : It is one of the most powerful app development technology we have, Lightning Components is a UI framework for developing web apps for mobile and desktop devices. It’s a modern framework for building single-page applications with dynamic, responsive user interfaces for Force.com apps. It uses JavaScript on the client side and Apex on the server side. (Source Trailhead)

(Source Trailhead)

I would highly recommend TRAILHEAD for learning Salesforce Lightning Component module

So here I am going to show you how simple is creating a modal in Lightning component, and if you ask why modal, then this is because, I get many requirement where client asks that we need this thing in a pop-up or that form should come in a modal, so it is very commonly used thing, so I thought it will be helpful to post about it.

I am not going into the basics of the lightning component framework, so here how it looks

So here is the component code for the lightning modal

<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global">
    
    <ltng:require styles="/resource/SLDS103/assets/styles/salesforce-lightning-design-system-ltng.css" />
    
    <div class="slds">
        
        <div >
            <!-- modal body starts here -->
            <div tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="header43" aria-hidden="false" id="newClientSectionId" role="dialog" class="slds-modal slds-fade-in-open" style="display:none;">
                <div class="slds-backdrop slds-backdrop--open">
                    <div class="slds-modal__container">

                                <button class="slds-button slds-button--neutral" onclick="{!c.hideModal}">X</button>

        </div>
    </div>
    
</aura:component>

And here is the controller code :

({  
    showModal : function(component, event, helper) {
        document.getElementById("newClientSectionId").style.display = "block";
    },
    
    hideModal : function(component,event, helper){
        document.getElementById("newClientSectionId").style.display = "none" ;
    }
 })

To run the above component, create a lightning app

<aura:application >
    <c:JustLightningModal />
</aura:application>

Note : Use SLDS library of Salesforce used in the component code.

Hope this help will soon continue to add more functionality to the modal using lightning component.

Thanks

Salesforce Authenticator : A Great New Feature to Set up two-factor authentication

Writing a new blog post after a long time, thanks to this new feature that I couldn't stop me for posting this new blog.
Here I am going talk about salesforce authenticator, that is one of the best feature of the salesforce security.

Salesforce have introduced a way to authenticate login in Salesforce org, Salesforce have introduced an app to do the authentication using mobile app, using your system previously it was doing with a security code, that will be sent to your email, but now salesforce has raised the bar.

To use this authentication, you don't have to do any kind of coding.

STEP 1 : Go to the permission sets and create a permission, make sure that permission set has "Two-Factor Authentication for User Interface Logins" as showed in snapshots.

STEP 2 : Now install the Salesforce Authenticator app from app store available for IOS and android as well. You will get a tour of the app, screens will look something like below, after when you are done with the tour you will get a + symbol click on that, you will get a two word phrase, that you have to enter when you are trying to login with the user to whom you have assigned the permission set.

                    

STEP 3 : Now enter the enter the username and password of the user to whom you have assigned the permission set, just after that you will get this below screen where you have enter the two word phrase.

                

You are done now, now you have connected the authenticator app with your salesforce account, easy right ?

So whenever user tries to login he/she will get this screen until you verify the account in you Authenticator app.

DISCONNECT THE AUTHENTICATOR APP

You just have to go to the user on which you have enable authentication and click on disconnect in fron of these below two field.

To remove account from the app, you can tap on right direction symbol, and then tap on right corner

                     

Note : You can also remove the account from the authenticator app, but then user will not be able to login as there is not app which is connected to that account, but the account is connected to the app.

If you want to learn while playing it there is module as well on trailhead to experience it click here 
We are done, hope this new feature helps to secure your salesforce account.


thank you

Reasons Why #Salesforce is the best technology to work with

Many times I felt to share my thoughts for Salesforce and what I feel while working on force.com platform, their are many things in the list and I tried to cover most of them. Might be something got missed because they are allot.

Starting with the best : Connectivity

Salesforce has connected just everything that is working with them or working on Salesforce, salesforce have Partner Programs, in which they help other companies who work on Salesforce, to make it easier for them to do business.

Connects every one with their largest tech-fest DREAMFORCE. This df'15 was also the biggest one. Saleforce helps their customer at everyone point. They work with the society as well, as in this dreamforce they donated 1 Million books to read more click here
There are many things happened at this dreamforce , I got an awesome link to get everything at one place about the dreamforce go to this link, Dreamforce Content Guide

Salesforce hearts : Salesforce MVPs

Salesforce have like 190+ MVP, which are nominated by others, they are the one who utilize there knowledge and experience of salesforce and their work with other to help them learning in Salesforce, this is also a best way

to acknowledge the person who are truly dedicated to their work, few MVPs I know are just awesome and happy to help others, normal example you can have in the communities of Salesofrce they are every where and making Salesforce geeks everyday, they inspire others with their work helping other in learning of the new things of the Salesforce. Salesforce MVP's are truly hero's the way they encourage other, Lauren Jordan is great example of this initiative she encourages the girl power by writing about womens working on the technology by this she inspire others as well (https://saasyforce.wordpress.com/)
And the other one is "Admin Hero" this guy is really a hero, writes about the awesome stories of those guys who have been delicately worked on Salesforce (http://www.adminhero.com/) This blog is by Brent Downey, this is his way of encouragement.

Trailhead : Place to play and learn Salesforce

Trailhead is a place to learn and explore your knowledge with Salesforce platform, it has their Modules and step by step learning tutorial.

Salesforce certifications is a way to show of your expertise in Salesforce, whoever is working on Salesforce have their own madness for the certifications I only know one person who have the maximum no. of Ceritifcations and that is Keir Bowden This is his blog link http://bobbuzzard.blogspot.in/ He is an inspiration, Salesforce have many certifications, each certificate have it definition and defined for a particular expertise.
