Eclipse for Lightning?

Hey there!

Can we use eclipse IDE for lightning development?
When I tried, don't see any technologies related to lightning like component, controllers, renderer etc.

We also use SVN for version tracking and finding hard time in new project which requires lightning framework completely.

Thanks in advance for y.ur response

You can download the local copy of lightning componenets using eclipse by updating the package.xml file. Append the following type in the your eclipse project package.xml file and then Right click on your Project Force.com -> Refresh from server. 
<types> 
<members>*</members>
<name>AuraDefinitionBundle</name>
</types>

Salesforce just released a beta version of the Eclipese Force.com IDE that includes Lightning support. I was very excited ot see this and even wrote a post about it here (https://saramorgan.net/2016/07/31/the-eclipse-force-com-ide-makes-an-epic-comeback-with-support-for-lightning/). 

Unfortunatley, it is a beta version and it not entirely complete. There is some things missing, such as when you create a new Lightning Bundle for a component, it adds a helper and controller resource automatically, but I cannot figure out how to add other resources like styles, documents, etc.

But, on the other side, it does have intellisense, which Developer Console does not, so I figure you can use a combination of both in the mean time and get the best of both worlds. Use Developer Conole to create the components and all the resources and then use Eclipse to edit your code.

Hi all,

Cannot make this work in Kepler. Beta throws an error, changes in package only shows aura folder if I add all metadata items, anyway, once I have aura folder I'm not allowed to make changes in any file, js, cmp, any of them.

Help would be appreciated, meanwhile I'll download Neon version.

Thanks&Regards,
Felipe

Hi Felipe,

I had to uninstall the older version of Java on my machine and install version 8, along with Eclipse Mars. Try that. It worked for me on both a Mac and Windows 10.

Hope that helps.

Felipe or Sara,

Are you getting option like Create new Ligihtning component in Eclipse.
In the similar way we get File - > New -> Apex Class. I can see aura folder under project with .cmp and .js file but not getting option to create new lightning component in Eclipse.

If you are getting such options let me know how you achived it.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jairaj, sorry for the delay,

When adding metadata items to your project, did you add metadata ones?, I actually have this option:

src->aura folder->new->lightning bundle->this creates all the files, cmp, css, controller, helper, renderer

I´ve read there´s conflict working with one of them, I don´t remember which one but think it was css.

I´m working with eclipse mars 32 bits and the last version of JRE.

Let me know if I can help, I was almost exultant to start developing in my IDE.

Thanks&Regards,
Felipe

Hi Gaurav,

Which Eclipse do you have?, I tried Kepler, Neon and Mars, it only worked in Mars.

I'm not sure if api version can be a problem itself or just working with eclipse, some ides (cloud9, mavensmate, sublime) already work with lighning components, probably with earlier api versions. 

You can see also a lightning development guide where some attributes are specificly marked as available for 37 and later, I understand the rest of them were available for earlier versions:  
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/ref_force_showToast.htm?search_text=api%20version

Thanks&Regards,
Felipe
