Education Data Architecture (EDA) from Salesforce.org standardizes the starting point for educational institutions building a CRM. Its core and common data model supports the entire K-20 student journey and its open-source architecture allows anyone to view the source code in GitHub. EDA is developed in close collaboration with our customers, partners, and the K-20 community to foster common acceptance. Solutions built on EDA share an open and flexible, extensible framework that accommodates a range of use cases and end-user customization. With EDA, you get a standardized data model—including preconfigured objects, functionality, logic, and automation—tailored for education right out of the box.
The EDA framework, supported by the Salesforce Platform, can serve as the foundation for managing data and data relationships across your entire institution. We welcome your feedback and contributions to EDA.
The easiest way to get started with EDA is to # for a trial. If you need to install EDA in an existing Salesforce org, use the EDA Installer.
Use a code formatter, like Prettier, to ensure that code you contribute to EDA is formatted consistent with the EDA code base.
Make sure yarn is installed on your local machine. For more information, check yarn installation.
Use a CLI to install dependency packages in your local repo:
yarn install
If you’re using Prettier, these dependency packages will be installed to your local repo: prettier, prettier-plugin-apex, husky, and lint-staged.
Configure your code formatter, as needed. For example, customize Prettier configurations in prettierrc.yml or specify code for Prettier to ignore in .prettierignore.
Pre-commit hooks help ensure the quality of code, but if you need to bypass them, append --no-verify to git commit or use a similar commit option for your GUI clients.
If you encounter errors, remove the node_modules folder and run yarn install again.
