Salesforce have stopped the support for Eclipse Force.com IDE and has introduced the extension in VS Code. This is the only tool that is available from Salesforce where you can build Lightning Web Component.
I have tried to make it easy by creating step by step instructions.
Install the following:
1. Java-8
3. VS Code
4. Salesforce Extension in VS Code
Note:
Set path in the environment
variable for Java & CLI.
Create
Salesforce Project:
1. Open VS
Code. Press Ctrl + Shift + p buttons. You will see command palette on the top.
Type SFDX: Create Project with Manifest and select it.
2. Enter
the project name.
3. Select
the workspace where you want to create the project. In my case I have selected
SFDC Workspace.
4. A
project will be created. All the metadata is stored under force-app -> main
-> default folder.
5. In this
step you need to do the authorization of the org. Press Ctrl + Shift + p
buttons, Type SFDX: Authorize an Org
in command palette and select it. It will ask for login URL. Select Project Default if it is Dev/Production
org.
6. It will
ask to set the default alias name for the org. In my case I have set it as
NumaanDevOrg. Set the name and hit enter. It will authorize a Salesforce org by
opening the login page in browser.
7. Specify
the metadata that you want to retrieve by opening the package.xml file in
metadata folder. Right click on the package.xml and select SFDX: Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org. There are many options
to retrieve metadata, You can check the options here.
8. To
deploy the metadata to Org there are two ways. One option is to press ctrl+s to save then right click on
the file and select SFDX: Deploy This
Source to Org. Second option is to deploy the metadata automatically on
save (ctrl+s). To enable this feature, we need to config in VS Code. Go to File
-> Preference -> Settings -> Click on Extensions -> Select
Salesforce Feature Previews -> Click on Edit under Push-or-deploy-on-save
option.
Enjoy coding....
