Shopify App Vue Template v.3.4.0

v3.4.0 — Release Notes

What's New

better-sqlite3 Migration

The template has migrated from sqlite3 to better-sqlite3 for improved performance and a simpler, synchronous API. Session storage is handled via a dedicated adapter:

@minisylar/shopify-app-session-storage-better-sqlite

- "@shopify/shopify-app-session-storage-sqlite": "^5.0.5"
- "sqlite3": "^5.1.7"
+ "@minisylar/shopify-app-session-storage-better-sqlite": "^1.1.3"
+ "better-sqlite3": "^12.8.0"

Express 5 + shopify-app-express v7

• express@^5.2.1 is now a direct dependency — @shopify/shopify-app-express@7 moved it to peerDependencies
• Wildcard route syntax updated for Express 5 (/api/* → /api/{*path})

Vue Router

• Navigation guard updated to use return values instead of the deprecated next() callback

Misc

• .sqlite-shm and .sqlite-wal added to .gitignore (WAL mode journal files)

   + import { BetterSQLiteSessionStorage } from '@minisylar/shopify-app-session-storage-better-sqlite'
   
   - sessionStorage: new SQLiteSessionStorage(DB_PATH)
