Create Shopify App With JWT Authentication

Using NodeJs, React, Shopify Polaris and MongoDB

NOTE: This isn't an official Shopify repository.

This project aims at creating a basic FREE Shopify App to install on a shopify store, with webhooks set for both shop/update and app/uninstalled.

Basic overview of the app:

• Database - MongoDB (You can also use MongoDB atlas)
• Authentication - Shopify JWT
• Supports 2 environments - You need to update the .env file with the required values. Those variables starting with DEV should be used to set Development App Credentials and those starting with PROD should be used to set Production App Credentials. You can get started by setting the DEV variables only, since the PROD variables will be used only on the production environment, a.k.a, on the server where you're planning to host the app
• Contains 2 pages with loading indicators and both pages fetches data from different API urls when you press on the Fetch Api button, to demonstrate how API works

How to get started:

1. Clone this repository
2. Run "npm install" to install dependencies
3. Update the environment variables on the .env file
4. Start a node server (npm run dev) and a ngrok instance (ngrok http 3000) on separate terminals and take note of the ngrok https url for the next step
5. Update app urls (main and whitelisted callbacks) on the partner dashboard.
   on main url use https://{ngrok-host-name}/auth
   on whitelisted callbacks use https://{ngrok-host-name}/auth/callback
6. Install the app on a development store from your partner dashboard
