🏗️ Architecture: ERP Service Abstraction

SF Explorer is built on a generic ERP service abstraction that decouples business logic from Salesforce-specific implementation, enabling extensibility to other platforms (SAP, Dynamics, Marketing Cloud) without rewriting the UI.

The Three-Layer Architecture

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│         Generic Framework Layer                     │
│  (Business logic, UI components, caching, routing)  │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│           ERPService Interface                      │
│   (Universal contract for any ERP/CRM system)       │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│       SalesforceService Implementation              │
│   (Salesforce-specific: JSForce, SOAP, Metadata)    │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Key Benefits:

🔄 Testability: Mock the ERPService interface for unit tests without Salesforce
🚀 Extensibility: Add SAP/Dynamics support by implementing the same interface
🧩 Separation of concerns: UI depends on interface, not concrete implementations
🔮 Future-proof: Salesforce API changes stay contained in one place

ERPService Interface

The ERPService interface provides a universal contract:

🎯 Model-View Pattern in Detail

Model Layer (`Salesforce/model/`)

Responsibilities:

Data fetching from Salesforce APIs (REST, SOAP, Tooling, Metadata)
Business logic and validation
SOQL query construction and execution
Metadata management and caching
State management
Data transformation

Pattern:

// Example: Salesforce/model/Security/Profile/index.tsx
export default class Profile extends SObject {
  // Type-safe field declarations
  declare Name: string
  declare Description: string
  declare UserLicense: string
  
  // Business logic: fetch and normalize metadata
  async loadMetadata(): Promise<void> {
    const metadata = await this.session.metadataRead('Profile', this.Name)
    this.Metadata = normalizeProfileMetadata(metadata)
  }
  
  // Data fetching: query related permission sets
  async getPermissionSets(): Promise<PermissionSet[]> {
    return this.session.soql<PermissionSet>(
      `SELECT Id, Name FROM PermissionSet WHERE ProfileId = '${this.Id}'`
    ).then(r => r.records)
  }
  
  // Initialization lifecycle
  async init(options?: any): Promise<SObject> {
    await super.init(options)
    await this.loadMetadata()
    return this
  }
  
  // View binding: render UI component
  Component({ item, options }: ComponentProps): JSX.Element {
    return <DefaultView item={item} options={options} />
  }
}

Key Features:

Extends SObject base class from Framework (generic ERP abstraction)
TypeScript type definitions for fields (strict type safety)
Metadata normalization (handles inconsistent XML structures)
SOQL query builders with type parameters
Async initialization patterns (lifecycle hooks)
Dependency injection via Model Provider system (no circular imports)

View Layer (`Salesforce/view/`)

Responsibilities:

React component rendering
User interface state management (useState, useEffect)
User interactions and event handling
Data visualization (tables, charts, graphs)
Layout and styling (SLDS components)

Pattern:

// Example: Salesforce/view/Security/Profile/DefaultView.tsx
import type Profile from "Salesforce/model/Security/Profile"
import type PermissionSet from "Salesforce/model/Security/PermissionSet"
import WithLoading from "Framework/utils/withLoading"

function ProfileViewComponent({ item }: { item: Profile }) {
  // UI state
  const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState('permissions')
  const [permissionSets, setPermissionSets] = useState<PermissionSet[]>([])
  
  // Fetch related data
  useEffect(() => {
    item.getPermissionSets().then(setPermissionSets)
  }, [item.Id])
  
  // Event handlers
  const handleTabChange = (tab: string) => {
    setActiveTab(tab)
  }
  
  // Render UI
  return (
    <SLDSAccordion title={item.Name}>
      <Tabs value={activeTab} onChange={handleTabChange}>
        <Tab label="Permissions">
          {/* Permission matrix */}
        </Tab>
        <Tab label="Related">
          {permissionSets.length} Permission Sets
        </Tab>
      </Tabs>
    </SLDSAccordion>
  )
}

// Export with loading HOC (handles async init)
export const DefaultView = WithLoading(ProfileViewComponent)

Key Features:

Type-safe props with model types (imports model as type only)
WithLoading HOC for async data handling (manages loading/error states)
SLDS (Salesforce Lightning Design System) components for consistency
Material React Table for advanced data grids (sorting, filtering, pagination)
Monaco Editor for syntax-highlighted code editing (Apex, SOQL, JSON)
No business logic in views (all logic in model layer)

🔄 Dependency Injection: Model Provider System

To avoid circular imports between models, views, and services, we use a Model Provider registry:

// Framework/services/ModelProvider.ts
const modelProviders = new Map<string, () => Promise<typeof SObject>>()

export function registerModelProvider(
  name: string, 
  loader: () => Promise<typeof SObject>
) {
  modelProviders.set(name, loader)
}

export async function getModel(name: string) {
  const provider = modelProviders.get(name)
  if (!provider) return undefined
  return await provider()  // Lazy-load model on demand
}

Usage in Agentforce:

// Agentforce/services/AgentforceModelProvider.ts
registerModelProvider('GenAiPlannerDefinition', async () => {
  const { default: GenAiPlannerDefinition } = await import(
    'Agentforce/model/GenAiPlannerDefinition'
  )
  return GenAiPlannerDefinition
})

Usage in SalesforceService:

// SalesforceService delegates to Model Providers for extensibility
async getModel(name: string) {
  // Try core Salesforce models first
  const coreModel = getModel(name)
  if (coreModel) return coreModel
  
  // Try Model Providers for extended models (Agentforce, DataCloud)
  return await getModelFromProviders(name)
}

Result: Zero circular dependencies across 295 files (verified).

🔗 Import Conventions

Model → View

// In model file (Salesforce/model/Security/Profile/index.tsx)
import { DefaultView } from "Salesforce/view/Security/Profile/DefaultView"

View → Model

// In view file (Salesforce/view/Security/Profile/DefaultView.tsx)
import type Profile from "Salesforce/model/Security/Profile"

Cross-References (in views)

// Always use absolute paths
import type User from "Salesforce/model/Security/User"
import type PermissionSet from "Salesforce/model/Security/PermissionSet"

Rules:

✅ Always use absolute paths starting with Salesforce/
✅ Import types from model layer using type keyword
❌ Never use relative paths (./, ../)
❌ No circular dependencies between model and view

Verified: See Circular Dependency Analysis - Zero circular dependencies confirmed across 295 files.

💾 Two-Tier Caching: In-Memory + IndexedDB

SF Explorer implements a smart caching layer that survives component unmounts and page reloads:

// Framework/connector/sessionCache.ts
export class SessionCache {
  private memoryCache = new Map<string, any>()
  
  async getOrFetch<T>(
    key: string,
    fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
    options?: {
      persist?: boolean              // Store in IndexedDB
      persistExpiryDays?: number     // TTL for IndexedDB cache
      serialize?: (data: T) => unknown
      deserialize?: (data: unknown) => T
    }
  ): Promise<T> {
    // 1. Check in-memory cache (fast)
    const cached = this.memoryCache.get(key)
    if (cached) return cached
    
    // 2. Check IndexedDB if persist=true (survives reload)
    if (options?.persist) {
      const persisted = await this.getFromIndexedDB(key)
      if (persisted && !this.isExpired(persisted)) {
        const deserialized = options.deserialize 
          ? options.deserialize(persisted.data)
          : persisted.data
        this.memoryCache.set(key, deserialized)
        return deserialized
      }
    }
    
    // 3. Fetch from API and cache both tiers
    const fresh = await fetcher()
    this.memoryCache.set(key, fresh)
    
    if (options?.persist) {
      const serialized = options.serialize ? options.serialize(fresh) : fresh
      await this.saveToIndexedDB(key, serialized, options.persistExpiryDays)
    }
    
    return fresh
  }
}

Usage in SalesforceService:

// Fetch bots with persistent caching (survives page reload)
const bots = await service.cacheGetOrFetch(
  'AGENTFORCE_BOTS',
  () => service.search<BotDefinition>('SELECT Id, Name FROM BotDefinition'),
  { 
    persist: true,
    persistExpiryDays: 1,
    serialize: (bots) => bots.map(b => b.toSnapshot()),
    deserialize: (snapshots) => snapshots.map(BotDefinition.fromSnapshot)
  }
)

Benefits:

🚀 80-90% reduction in Salesforce API calls (critical for orgs with API limits)
⚡ Sub-second load times for cached data (instant UI rendering)
💾 Survives page reloads (IndexedDB persists across sessions)
🔄 Smart invalidation (by key, prefix, or TTL expiry)
🧪 Testable (mock the cache for unit tests)

📝 Development Guidelines

Adding a New Model

Create Model Class: Salesforce/model/CategoryName/ModelName/index.tsx

export default class ModelName extends SObject {
  // Define fields
  declare fieldName: string
  
  // Implement data fetching
  async loadMetadata(): Promise<void> { }
  
  // Render view
  Component({ item, options }): JSX.Element {
    return <DefaultView item={item} options={options} />
  }
}

Create View Component: Salesforce/view/CategoryName/ModelName/DefaultView.tsx

import type ModelName from "Salesforce/model/CategoryName/ModelName"
import WithLoading from "Framework/utils/withLoading"

function DefaultViewComponent({ item }: { item: ModelName }) {
  return <div>{/* Your UI */}</div>
}

export const DefaultView = WithLoading(DefaultViewComponent)

Register in EntityDefinition: Add metadata in Framework/model/EntityDefinition/

TypeScript Guidelines

No any types: Use proper TypeScript types (enforced by tsconfig strict mode)

SOQL Type Safety: Always provide type parameters for autocomplete + compile-time safety

// ❌ DON'T: Loses field types
const results = await session.soql('SELECT Id, Name FROM Profile')

// ✅ DO: Type-safe with autocomplete
interface ProfileRecord {
  Id: string
  Name: string
  UserLicenseId: string
}
const results = await session.soql<ProfileRecord>(
  'SELECT Id, Name, UserLicenseId FROM Profile'
)
results.records.forEach(profile => {
  console.log(profile.Name.toUpperCase()) // ✅ TypeScript knows Name is string
})

Metadata Normalization: Use metadataNormalizer to handle inconsistent XML structures

import { createNormalizer, arrayField, booleanField } from 'Framework/utils/metadataNormalizer'

// Salesforce returns arrays OR single objects - normalizer guarantees arrays
export const normalizeProfileMetadata = createNormalizer({
  fieldPermissions: arrayField(),      // Always returns array
  classAccesses: arrayField(),
  userPermissions: booleanField(),     // Converts string "true" → boolean
})

const profile = await service.metadataRead('Profile', 'Admin')
const normalized = normalizeProfileMetadata(profile)
// Now: normalized.fieldPermissions is always FieldPermission[]

Node.js 20+
pnpm 10.30.3
Salesforce Developer/Admin credentials

Salesforce Connected App Setup

To use the SF Explorer Server, you need to create a Salesforce Connected App to enable OAuth authentication.

Step 1: Create a Connected App in Salesforce

Navigate to Setup:
- Log into your Salesforce org
- Go to Setup > Apps > App Manager
- Click New Connected App
Basic Information:
- Connected App Name: SF Explorer (or your preferred name)
- API Name: Auto-populated based on the name
- Contact Email: Your email address
API (Enable OAuth Settings):
- Check Enable OAuth Settings
- Callback URL: http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback (or your server URL)
- Selected OAuth Scopes: Add the following scopes:
  - Access the identity URL service (id, profile, email, address, phone)
  - Manage user data via APIs (api)
  - Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
  - Access unique user identifiers (openid)
  - Full access (full) - Only if you need metadata API access
Save and Continue:
- Click Save
- Click Continue
- Note: It may take 2-10 minutes for the Connected App to be available
Retrieve Client Credentials:
- From the Connected App detail page, click Manage Consumer Details
- Copy the Consumer Key (Client ID)
- Copy the Consumer Secret (Client Secret)

Step 2: Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the packages/sf-explorer-server directory:

# Salesforce Connected App Credentials
SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID=your_consumer_key_here
SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_consumer_secret_here
SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL=https://your-instance.salesforce.com

# Optional: Agentforce Agent ID (if using Agentforce features)
SALESFORCE_AGENT_ID=your_agent_id_here

# Server Configuration
PORT=8080
NODE_ENV=development

# Status Monitor Authentication (optional)
STATUS_USERNAME=admin
STATUS_PASSWORD=your_secure_password

Important Security Notes:

⚠️ Never commit the .env file to version control
⚠️ Store credentials securely (use environment variables in production)
⚠️ Rotate credentials regularly
⚠️ Use IP restrictions in Salesforce Connected App settings for production

Step 3: Enable OAuth for Headless Access (Server-to-Server)

If you need server-to-server authentication (no user interaction):

In your Connected App settings, enable:
- Enable Client Credentials Flow (requires API v48.0+)
Assign permissions:
- Go to Manage > Edit Policies
- Set Permitted Users to "Admin approved users are pre-authorized"
- Click Save
Create a Permission Set:
- Go to Setup > Permission Sets > New
- Assign API access and required object permissions
- Add users who need access
Assign the Connected App to the Permission Set:
- Go to Manage Connected Apps > Edit Policies
- Under Permission Sets, add your permission set
