Getting Started

Get API Key and Password

Create a private app on the Shopify store you're working on to access your API key and password. See the Shopify Theme README above for more info.

Edit Config File

Open config-example.yml, deplicate and rename it to config.yml and replace the api_key password store and theme_id values with the data from the private app you have created (See step above).

Developing

To start development, open up a terminal window, navigate to the theme root folder and run npm start. This will compile, watch and hot reload your javascript and css. It'll also lint your js using standardjs best practices. If you make a change to a file that needs to be uploaded to Shopify, the process will handle it and reload your browser once it's been uploaded.

Note: In your Shopify Theme Settings, there is a setting called Access site through BrowserSync?, under the Dev, Logo, Favicon section. Make sure that this option is checked for your development themes, unchecked for your staging and production themes.

Deploying

There are build scripts provided in the package.json that will build and deploy theme code directly to Shopify. All scripts can be run via npm run <scriptName>, with the exception of npm start. The build scripts are:

npm run development
npm run staging
npm run production

Each of the scripts reference a different environment as defined in your config.yml file. The tasks will review your Git tree and only upload the files that have changed since your last deployment. CSS and Javascript will always be deployed.

Pre-requisites

These are things that you'll need to have for all Shopify builds, and all builds at Barrel in general.

Update Environment

Make sure your node environment is updated. You're using Homebrew for this, right?

# check kegs and brew version
brew update 

# update node
brew upgrade node

Misc

Using Liquid in CSS and JS

It is possible to use Shopify's Liquid templating language in your CSS and Javascript. However, for most custom builds we do, we don't generally need this functionality outside of our markup.If you choose to use Liquid in your asset files, be aware that some features of this base theme may be unusable to you and the liquid syntax may cause build errors.

Geolocation Redirects

All geolocation redirects are managed using MaxMind Geolocation API. Currently all redirects are hardcoded inside script-geolocation but could potentially be moved to a Shopify section for easier management. In development mode all geolocation redirects are disabled.
