Next Generation Front-End for WooCommerce

Introduction

The goal of WooNuxt is to provide a modern, fast, and SEO-friendly front-end for WooCommerce. It's built on Nuxt 3 and uses the WPGraphQL API to retrieve all the data it needs. It's also fully customizable and can be extended with your own components and modules. You can see a live demo of WooNuxt by clicking the button below.

Caution

Please note that there is currently an issue with Netlify and the @Nuxt/image module which is causing images to not load. For the time being, I recommend deploying WooNuxt on Vercel and checking out the demo that is hosted there (link below).

Troubleshooting

You can find some common errors and how to fix them here

 

Get Started

• Download the latest WooNuxt Setting (woonuxt-settings.zip).
• Install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site. This will install all the required plugins for WooNuxt, add some useful fields to the WPGraphQL schema, and automatically retrieve the WooCommerce payment gateway settings for Stripe and PayPal.
• Once the plugin is activated you are ready to deploy WooNuxt on whatever hosting you like or click one of the fast deploy buttons below.
• Once the plugin is activated the only required environment variable is GQL_HOST. Checkout the .env.example file for more details.

 

How to customize & extend WooNuxt 🎨

WooNuxt now uses the Nuxt layers feature to make it easy to customize any part of WooNuxt just like you would with a WordPress theme with its child theme.

Example: I have created a pages directory and added a contact.vue file in the pages directory. This will override the default contact page that comes with WooNuxt. You can do this with any page or component. So think of the woonuxt_base folder as the parent theme and the root folder as the child theme.

Credits

This is an ongoing project but it wouldn't be possible without the help of the following people: Jason Bahl & Geoffrey K Taylor for their ongoing work on WPGraphQL and WooGraphQL respectively. Also, a big thanks to the Nuxt team for all their hard work making Nuxt 3 a pleasure to build upon. And the WooCommerce team for making such a great e-commerce platform. Some other honorable mentions are Funkhaus for their work on the WPGraphQL Cors plugin. And the people who have contributed to making WooNuxt better every day. Zack Hatlen, Galli, Guillaume, Thank you all! 🙏

I don't know where this project will go, but I'm excited to see what the future holds. If you have any questions or would like to contribute to the project please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or GitHub.
