Installation

1. Add this extension to your Gemfile with this line:

   gem 'spree_multi_vendor'

2. Install the gem using Bundler:

   bundle install

3. Copy & run migrations

   bundle exec rails g spree_multi_vendor:install

4. Restart your server

   If your server was running, restart it so that it can find the assets properly.

5. Optionally you can also create sample Vendor by running:

   bundle exec rake spree_multi_vendor:sample:create

Upgrading

1. Fetch new database migrations:

   bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations FROM=spree_multi_vendor

2. Run migrations

   bundle exec rails db:migrate

Configuration

To change which models should be vendorized, in your Spree initializer (config/initializers/spree.rb) add:

SpreeMultiVendor::Config[:vendorized_models] = %w[product variant stock_location shipping_method other_model]

This will lookup for Spree::OtherModel class. To add vendor_id column to that model run:

bundle exec rails g migration AddVendorToSpreeOtherModels vendor:references

API endpoints

Spree Multi Vendor adds new API v2 endpoints:

1. GET Display Vendor information endpoint

   /api/v2/storefront/vendors/<vendor_slug>
   

   eg. /api/v2/storefront/vendors/test-vendor

   you can also include Vendor image and/or Products in that call:

   /api/v2/storefront/vendors/test-vendor?include=image,products

2. GET Returns a list of Vendors

   /api/v2/storefront/vendors

1. GET Filtering Products by Vendor ID(s):

   /api/v2/storefront/products?filter[vendor_ids]=1,2,3
   

2. GET Include Vendor information in Cart endpoint:

   /api/v2/storefront/cart?include=vendors,vendor_totals
   

Email previews

Spree offers emails preview generator for development purposes. To generate them, use command:

bundle exec rails g spree_multi_vendor:mailers_preview

After that, start rails server locally and go to: localhost:3000/rails/mailers

(it requires seeded development database in order to work properly)

Testing

First bundle your dependencies, then run rake. rake will default to building the dummy app if it does not exist, then it will run specs. The dummy app can be regenerated by using rake test_app.

bundle
bundle exec rake
