To start working with your own project built on Mailchimp Open Commerce you can start by using our new CLI. The CLI is the quickest and easiest way to develop on Open Commerce. It allows you to create and work with API, Admin, and Storefront projects all via the command line.
-
We recommend installing nmv
-
In addition, you need to have your system setup for SSH authentication with GitHub
First install the cli by running:
npm install -g reaction-cli
You can test to see if it has worked here by running:
reaction help
You can create your Open Commerce project by running:
reaction create-project api <your-project-name>
This will create an Open Commerce project in the directory . Once this is complete, navigate to the project directory:
cd <your-project-name>
Install the project dependencies:
npm install
Finally, start the server in development mode:
reaction develop api
Note: Optionally, from within the project-directory you may issue the above command without mentioning the project type and the CLI would check your package.json for the "projectType" and pick it up from there. This expects that the project itself was built using the latest version of the CLI as explained in the above steps.
Example, instead of the above command, you may skip mentioning 'api' and just use:
reaction develop
This will start the Open Commerce GraphQL server and Mongo Server. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
- A sample custom plugin has been installed, and you should see its output in the logs. (Your Sample Plugin)
- To add a new plugin based on our plugin template run:
reaction create-plugin api <your-plugin-name>
Validate whether the plugin was created in the custom-packages
cd custom-packages
cd <your-plugin-name>
npm install
You now need to change back up to the root:
cd ../../
now you can run:
reaction develop
This plugin will now be loaded the next time you start Open Commerce.
See the Complete CLI instructions for how to create your local storefront and admin.
