POP Commerce is a simple eCommerce application and an admin app to administer the eCommerce site and manage various aspects of a retail or wholesale business, from customer service and fulfillment to accounting. The goal is for POP Commerce to include all functionality a general retail business might need.
While meant to be a usable and functional, the primary purpose is to be a easy to customize starting point for custom eCommerce sites and a demonstration of the use of Moqui Framework and Mantle Business Artifacts entities and services for building eCommerce applications.
POP Commerce is based on the Moqui Framework and Mantle Business Artifacts projects. It reuses various ERP screens from the SimpleScreens project.
To run POP Commerce you need Moqui Framework, POP Commerce itself, and the components it depends on. Moqui supports a few methods for setup and deployment as described in the documentation here:
http://www.moqui.org/framework/docs/RunDeploy.html
The easiest way to try POP Commerce is with the binary distribution available on GitHub:
https://github.com/moqui/PopCommerce/releases
If you don't have gradle or ant installed you can use this command line to run Java directly:
$ java -jar moqui.war
To get and locally run the latest POP Commerce you'll need JDK 8 or later, and either a git client or you can use the binary download link on GitHub.
Java can be downloaded here (make sure to use the Download button under the JDK column, NOT the under the JRE column):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
The following instructions use the Gradle Wrapper to build. You can optionally download and install Gradle (from http://www.gradle.org/downloads) and use gradle instead of ./gradlew in the example commands.
To download Moqui/Mantle/PopCommerce source and build/run locally use the following steps:
Zip: https://github.com/moqui/moqui-framework/archive/master.zip
Git: https://github.com/moqui/moqui-framework.git
From either source you should put the contents in a moqui directory for the next steps. If you use the Zip download change the directory name from moqui-framework-master to moqui. If you clone the Git repository clone it into a moqui directory.
This is easy with the dependency configuration per component, and the Gradle get component tasks. With Gradle Wrapper you don't need to install Gradle separately to do this. The PopCommerce component is configured by default in the Moqui addons.xml file, so just run:
$ ./gradlew getComponent -Pcomponent=PopCommerce
If you downloaded the zip archive for Moqui Framework this will download the zip archives for PopCommerce and each component it depends on. If you cloned from the git repository this will clone all components from their repositories.
From the moqui directory run:
$ ./gradlew load
This will build Moqui and load seed and demo data from all components into an embedded H2 database.
From the moqui directory run:
$ java -jar moqui.war
For the eCommerce application, in your browser go to:
Or for the admin application go to:
http://localhost:8080/apps/PopcAdmin
Use the button in the lower-left corner of the screen login as John Doe.
Java 8 is recommended: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Here are command line steps for initial checkout, setup, and run:
$ git clone git@github.com:moqui/moqui-framework.git moqui
$ cd moqui
$ ./gradlew getComponent -Pcomponent=PopCommerce
$ ./gradlew load
$ java -jar moqui.war
Here are steps for a basic update (for development with clean out and rebuild of database):
$ cd moqui
$ ./gradlew cleanAll gitPullAll load
$ java -jar moqui.war
To access the eCommerce app go to something like http://localhost:8080/popc in a web browser. To access the admin app go to http://localhost:8080/PopcAdmin.
