Shopify starter for Gridsome

This is a boilerplate starter, aiming to showcase how Gridsome and Shopify can work together, to create an amazingly fast shopping experience for consumers. View Demo

This starter uses a source plugin (gridsome-source-shopify) to pull data from Shopify's Storefront API, and load it into Gridsome's data store - which you can then use to create pages (note that this only runs at build time). It also uses the Vue Apollo plugin client-side, to send queries/mutations (i.e. createCheckout) to the Storefront API when running in the browser.

Shopify Setup

You will need to create a private app in Shopify, and give it access to the Storefront API - the default permissions should be fine for this starter. Make sure to note the Storefront API key, and your store name.

Installation

Install the Gridsome CLI.

npm install -g @gridsome/cli # or
yarn global add @gridsome/cli

Create Project

You can either directly download this repository, or use Gridsome's CLI to download and install dependencies for you.

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/thetre97/gridsome-starter-shopify.git
npm install # or
yarn install

# Download with CLI
gridsome create my-gridsome-site thetre97/gridsome-starter-shopify

Developing

You will need to add your Storefront API shop name (https://<shop-name>.myshopify.com) & token to an env file before running this starter. I also recommend you add some collections in Shopify to best show off this starter.

# Note env's are prefixed with GRIDSOME_ to make them available to apollo client side
GRIDSOME_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT=<shop name>
GRIDSOME_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_TOKEN=<storefront token>

Or you can manually edit the Shopify Source Plugin's configurations in gridsome.config.js.

Enter the site folder, and run gridsome develop to start a local development server.

Happy coding!
