hardiscreate

Description

Command Behavior

Creates a new Salesforce package (either Managed or Unlocked) in your Dev Hub.

This command streamlines the process of setting up a new Salesforce package, which is a fundamental step for modularizing your Salesforce metadata and enabling continuous integration and delivery practices. It guides you through defining the package's essential properties.

Key functionalities:

Interactive Package Definition: Prompts you for the package name, the path to its source code, and the package type (Managed or Unlocked).
Package Type Selection:
- Managed Packages: Ideal for AppExchange solutions, where code is hidden in subscriber orgs.
- Unlocked Packages: Suitable for client projects or shared tooling, where code is readable and modifiable in subscriber orgs.
Package Creation: Executes the Salesforce CLI command to create the package in your connected Dev Hub.

Technical explanations

The command's technical implementation involves:

Interactive Prompts: Uses the prompts library to gather necessary information from the user, such as packageName, packagePath, and packageType.
Salesforce CLI Integration: It constructs and executes the sf package create command, passing the user-provided details as arguments.
execSfdxJson: This utility is used to execute the Salesforce CLI command and capture its JSON output, which includes the newly created package's ID.
User Feedback: Provides clear messages to the user about the successful creation of the package, including its ID and the associated Dev Hub.
