Getting started

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.

What you need

Install the CLI

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

Creating a project

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.

Congratulations!! You're ready to start developing with Open Commerce

Development Flow

  2. Add a changeset in that same PR.
  3. Repeat the process of making changes and adding changesets.
  4. Create PR

How to release

  1. Run release action to create Version PR. This PR will remove all changeset files, bump up packages versions, update CHANGELOG files.
  2. Merge Version PR into trunk, CircleCI will publish all the packages into npm.

Prerelease flows

  1. All PRs will be merged into prerelease branch before triggering PRERELEASE action.
  2. Before merging PRs into prerelease branch, please make sure that all the changesets are added.
  3. Manually trigger PRERELEASE action to create Version Packages (next) PR. After merged, the changeset/action will bump up packages versions as {next-version}-next.{number}, update CHANGELOG files.
  4. Merge Version Packages (next) PR into prerelease branch, action will publish all the packages into npm.
