This is a feature plugin for a modern, javascript-driven WooCommerce Admin experience.
WordPress 5.4 or greater and WooCommerce 4.8.0 or greater should be installed prior to activating the WooCommerce Admin feature plugin.
For better debugging, it's also recommended you add define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
to your wp-config. This will load the unminified version of all libraries, and specifically the development build of React.
After cloning the repo, install dependencies:
npm install
to install JavaScript dependencies.composer install
to gather PHP dependencies.
Now you can build the files using one of these commands:
npm run build
: Build a production versionnpm run dev
: Build a development versionnpm start
: Build a development version, watch files for changesnpm run build:release
: Build a WordPress plugin ZIP file (woocommerce-admin.zip
will be created in the repository root)DRY_RUN=1 npm run build:release
: Builds a Wordpress plugin ZIP without pushing it to Github and creating a release.

Tests live in ./tests/e2e
. An existing build is required prior running, please refer to the section above for steps. E2E tests use the @woocommerce/e2e-environment
package which hosts a Docker container for testing, by default the container can be accessed at http://localhost:8084
All the commands from @woocommerce/e2e-environment
can be run through npx
.
# Set up the e2e environment
npm i
npx wc-e2e docker:up
Run tests using:
npx wc-e2e test:e2e-dev
or in headless mode:
npx wc-e2e test:e2e
Run a single test by adding the path to the file name:
npx wc-e2e test:e2e-dev tests/e2e/specs/activate-and-setup/complete-onboarding-wizard.test.ts
There is documentation in 2 forms available in the repo. A static set of documentation supported by docsify and also a Storybook containing component documentation for @woocommerce/components
.
To view the docsify docs locally you can do:
npm install
cd docs
npx docsify serve
When deployed the docsify docs also host an embedded version of the storybook docs. To generate that and test it locally in docsify you'll need to run:
npm install
npm run docs
cd docs
npx docsify serve
Then navigate to Components
from the left hand menu in the docs.
If you would like to view the storybook docs hosted standalone, then you can run:
npm install
npm run storybook
If you're encountering any issue setting things up, chances are we have been there too. Please have a look at our wiki for a list of common problems.
If you have enabled WooCommerce usage tracking ( option woocommerce_allow_tracking
) then, in addition to the tracking described in https://woocommerce.com/usage-tracking/, this plugin also sends information about the actions that site administrators perform to Automattic - see https://automattic.com/privacy/#information-we-collect-automatically for more information.
