Resources

Resources are the qualifying noun that the action acts upon. Resources are optional and used only when necessary. For example, in the command sf apex generate class, the resource class qualifies what the command apex generate generates. In the command sf org login jwt, the resource jwt is the qualifying type of login that takes place.

In many of the core Salesforce CLI commands, if a required resource is missing, the command prompts for it. For example:

• Resources are optional.
• Resources are nouns.

• sf org create sandbox (sandbox is the resource)
• sf org login jwt (jwt is the resource)
• sf apex generate class (class is the resource)
• sf cmdt create record (record is the resource)
