E-Bikes Lightning Web Components Sample Application

E-Bikes is a sample application that demonstrates how to build applications with Lightning Web Components and integrate with Salesforce Communities. E-Bikes is a fictitious electric bicycle manufacturer. The application helps E-Bikes manage their products and reseller orders using a rich user experience.

This sample application is designed to run on Salesforce Platform. If you want to experience Lightning Web Components on any platform, please visit https://lwc.dev, and try out our Lightning Web Components sample application LWC Recipes OSS.

Installing E-Bikes using a Scratch Org

1. Set up your environment. Follow the steps in the Quick Start: Lightning Web Components Trailhead project. The steps include:

• Enable Dev Hub in your Trailhead Playground
• Install Salesforce CLI
• Install Visual Studio Code
• Install the Visual Studio Code Salesforce extensions, including the Lightning Web Components extension

2. If you haven't already done so, authenticate with your hub org and provide it with an alias (myhuborg in the command below):

sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a myhuborg

3. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/trailheadapps/ebikes-lwc
cd ebikes-lwc

4. Create a scratch org and provide it with an alias (ebikes in the command below):

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

5. Push the app to your scratch org:

sfdx force:source:push

6. Assign the ebikes permission set to the default user:

sfdx force:user:permset:assign -n ebikes

7. Load sample data:

sfdx force:data:tree:import --plan ./data/sample-data-plan.json

8. Deploy Community metadata

sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -u ebikes --deploydir mdapiDeploy/unpackaged -w 5

9. Open the scratch org:

sfdx force:org:open

10. In Setup, under Themes and Branding, activate the Lightning Lite theme.

11. In Setup, select All Communities. Click on Builder for the E-Bikes Community.

12. Click Publish, to publish the community. Click on the workspace icon in the top left corner, then click View E-Bikes to see the live community.

13. For experiencing the Salesforce app, open the App Launcher, and select the E-Bikes app.

Installing E-Bikes using a Developer Edition Org

These steps assume you have followed the instructions above to install the application into a scratch org first, and now want to deploy it to a more permanent environment, including for completion of the Lightning Web Components Basics Trailhead module.

1. It's recommended to sign up for a new Developer Edition org, to avoid conflicts with work you may have done in any other orgs. If you created a new Developer Edition org to serve as a DevHub, and haven't done other work in the org, you can use that org.

2. Once you've logged in to the org, in Setup, under My Domain, register a My Domain.

3. In Setup, under Communities Settings, click the Enable communities checkbox, and then select and register a subdomain for your community.

4. In Setup, under Object Manager, delete the custom Product picklist field from the Case object.

5. At the command line, authenticate to your Developer Edition, and provide it with an alias (ebikesDE in the command below):

sfdx force:auth:web:login -a ebikesDE

5. Check out a new branch of the code, to make changes that will allow deployment to a Developer Edition org:

git checkout -b devOrg

6. In VS Code, use the Ctrl/Cmd-P shortcut for Quick Open. Type E_Bikes.site and click on the E_Bikes.site-meta.xml file to open it.

7. Change the value in the <siteAdmin> line to be your user name in the Developer Org, and change the value in the <subdomain> line to be the subdomain you selected for your Communities (codey@ebikes.dev and codeys-ebikes-developer-edition in the example below). Save the file.

<siteAdmin>[email protected]</siteAdmin>
<siteType>ChatterNetwork</siteType>
<subdomain>codeys-ebikes-developer-edition</subdomain>

8. Use Quick Open again to search for Profile and open E-Bikes Profile.profile. At the very end of the file, change the value in the <userLicense> line to Guest. Save the file.

    <userLicense>Guest</userLicense>
</Profile>

9. Deploy the app to your Developer Edition org:

sfdx force:source:deploy -p force-app/main/default -u ebikesDE

10. Assign the ebikes permission set to the default user:

sfdx force:user:permset:assign -n ebikes -u ebikesDE

11. Load sample data:

sfdx force:data:tree:import --plan ./data/sample-data-plan.json -u ebikesDE

12. Open the Developer org:

sfdx force:org:open -u ebikesDE

13. In Setup, under Themes and Branding, activate the Lightning Lite theme.

14. In Setup, select All Communities. Click on Builder for the E-Bikes Community.

15. Click Publish, to publish the community. Click on the workspace icon in the top left corner, then click View E-Bikes to see the live community.

16. For experiencing the Salesforce app, open the App Launcher, and select the E-Bikes app.

17. If you want to work with the application in a scratch org in the future, you'll want to switch back to the master branch:

git checkout master

Optional Installation Instructions

This repository contains several files that are relevant if you want to integrate modern web development tooling to your Salesforce development processes, or to your continuous integration/continuous deployment processes.

Code formatting

Prettier is a code formatter used to ensure consistent formatting across your code base. To use Prettier with Visual Studio Code, install this extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. The .prettierignore and .prettierrc files are provided as part of this repository to control the behavior of the Prettier formatter.

Code linting

ESLint is a popular JavaScript linting tool used to identify stylistic errors and erroneous constructs. To use ESLint with Visual Studio Code, install this extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. The .eslintignore file is provided as part of this repository to exclude specific files from the linting process in the context of Lighning Web Components development.

Pre-commit hook

This repository also comes with a package.json file that makes it easy to set up a pre-commit hook that enforces code formatting and linting by running Prettier and ESLint every time you git commit changes.

To set up the formatting and linting pre-commit hook:

1. Install Node.js if you haven't already done so
2. Run npm install in your project's root folder to install the ESLint and Prettier modules (Note: Mac users should verify that Xcode command line tools are installed before running this command.)

Prettier and ESLint will now run automatically every time you commit changes. The commit will fail if linting errors are detected. You can also run the formatting and linting from the command line using the following commands (check out package.json for the full list):

npm run lint:lwc
npm run prettier
