Convert Metadata to Source Format and Maintain Git History You must either convert your metadata to source format (using sfdx force:mdapi:convert) or create a new project and then retrieve the metadata from your org using the manifest ( package.xml file) that you used in your previous IDE. For details, see Salesforce DX Project Structure and Source Format in the Salesforce DX Developer Guide.īecause legacy tools such as IDE used the metadata format, you can’t directly open your such projects in VS Code. Source format is optimized for working with version control systems. The commands that Salesforce Extensions for VS Code uses to push, pull, deploy, and retrieve your source assume that your files are in source format (rather than metadata format).

Open the terminal in your project root folder and install eslint as a dev dependency.

So let us see how to configure that for your next react js project. I still regret that because linting is important for development as it reduces error and improves the overall quality of the code and prettier helps us formatting our code.

When I started using react for my projects I never used eslint or prettier for the development. This frustrates users while writing code. Errors are a major problem in our usual react js development. I have come with a tutorial that covers the configuration of Eslint and Prettier in visual studio code for React js development.
