Design Patterns

Use these patterns while designing your commands:

• Use the --async flag for events that are long running and happening on the server level rather than in the client CLI.
  • Example: sf org create sandbox --async
• Provide user feedback for long running commands.
• Use a spinner with interactive commands.
• Long-running commands must always provide an ID to report back on.
• Multiple resources must have a default.
• Present lists as tables.
• Use these flags when including and outputting files or directories: --output-file, —output-dir, —input-file, --input-dir.
