Development

1. Clone this repo
2. npm install
3. Create a .env file in the root dir with the following contents:

   VENDURE_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/shop-api
   # or
   # VENDURE_API_URL=https://readonlydemo.vendure.io/shop-api
   NODE_ENV=development

4. npm run dev - run the storefront with a local Remix server
5. npm run dev:cf - runs locally with the Cloudflare Pages configuration

Vendure Server

This storefront requires a Vendure server. You can either run a local instance, or use our public demo server.

Code Generation

Whenever the Graphql documents (the constants using the gql tag) in the ./app/providers dir changes, you should run npm run generate to generate new sdk definitions.

For a more detailed guide on how to work with code generation, check the wiki about querying custom fields.

Local

You can set up a local instance, populated with test data by following the instructions in the Vendure Getting Started guide. Note that since Remix runs on port 3000 by default, you should change the local Vendure server to run on another port, and also make sure you have enabled the bearer method for managing session tokens:

// vendure-config.ts
export const config: VendureConfig = {
  apiOptions: {
    port: 3001,
    // ...
  },
  authOptions: {
    tokenMethod: ['bearer', 'cookie'], // or just 'bearer'
    // ...
  },
  // ...
};

Payment Gateways

Currently, both Stripe and Braintree are supported out of the box, but only one of them can be used at the same time

Stripe integration

This repo has a built-in Stripe payment integration. To enable it, ensure that your Vendure server is set up with the StripePlugin.

Ensure your new PaymentMethod uses the word stripe somewhere in its code, as that's how this integration will know to load the Stripe payment element.

Then add your Stripe publishable key to the env file:

STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_t38hl...etc

Important note: There's a race condition between Stripe redirecting a customer to the confirmation page and the webhook receiving the confirmation in the Vendure backend. As this condition is not very distinguishable from other potential issues, it is currently addressed by implementing a very simple retry system of 5 retries every 2.5s You can tweak these settings in the CheckoutConfirmation route.

Braintree integration

This repo has built-in Braintree integration. To enable it, ensure that your Vendure server is set up with the BraintreePlugin.

Currently, storeCustomersInBraintree has to be set to true in plugin options.

Public demo

There is a publicly-available demo instance at https://readonlydemo.vendure.io/shop-api

Deployment

This repo is configured to deploy to either Netlify or Cloudflare Pages.

No special setup should be needed, as the remix.config.js file contains a check for the process.env.CF_PAGES environment variable to determine whether to use the Cloudflare Pages or Netlify server configuration.

Follow the usual procedure for setting up a project in Netlify/CF Pages and point it to your clone of this repo on GitHub/Gitlab.
