Overview

Welcome to SlightWork, the modern developer framework for building scalable, robust, and maintainable applications on the Salesforce platform.

The Name

SlightWork stands for Salesforce Lightweight Framework, representing the mission of being a framework that's easy to use with minimal effort required to get started.

The Mission

SlightWork aims to be one of the most comprehensive and developer-friendly frameworks to rapidly build Salesforce applications. It's designed to be used by developers of all skill levels, from beginners to experts.

While many frameworks tend to focus on addressing a specific need, SlightWork is built to provide a comprehensive collection of solutions for the many challenges that developers face when building solutions within Salesforce.

Examples:

• Async Apex
• Callouts
• File Manipulation
• Trigger Execution
• Metadata Deployments
• Permission Management
• Lighting Web Components (LWC)
• And so much more!

The Goal

Many Salesforce developers and architects don't come from a traditional computer science or software development background. As a result, certain design patterns and best practices that are well-established within other software development communities are not as widely known or used within the Salesforce ecosystem. SlightWork hopes to bridge that gap by providing a solid foundation built on modern principles for Salesforce development.

The goal is not to replace what's already out there, but to introduce new ideas and concepts to both teach and learn within the community.

Finally, don't treat SlightWork as dogma. It's a framework designed to be used as a foundation, not a rigid set of rules. Feel free to modify, extend, or replace any part of the framework to meet your specific needs. The goal is to help you build better applications, not to constrain you. Consistency matters most of all!
