Solidus Starter Frontend Rails Storefront

Solidus Starter Frontend

CircleCI codecov

solidus_starter_frontend is a new starter storefront for Solidus.

This project aims to deliver a modern, minimal, semantic, and easy to extend codebase for a more efficient bootstrapping experience.

DISCLAIMER: some Solidus extensions (the ones that depend on Solidus Frontend) will not work with this project because they rely on defacing some views items that don't exist here.

Installation

Just run:

rails new store
cd store
bundle add solidus
bin/rails generate solidus:install --frontend=solidus_starter_frontend

That will create a new Solidus application with SolidusStarterFrontend as its storefront.

Please note that Solidus Auth Devise will also be added to your application as it's required by SolidusStarterFrontend.

Considerations

The installation of Solidus Starter Frontend will copy the frontend views, assets, routes, controllers, and specs to your project. You can change easily anything that we created; this gives you a lot of freedom of customization.

Note that since the Solidus Starter Frontend is a Rails application template, it doesn't have the capability to automatically update your storefront code whenever the template is updated.

It is not possible right now to generate a new Rails app with the template, i.e. run rails new --template=URL since the template expects Solidus to be installed on the app.

In addition, please note that it will add Solidus Auth Devise frontend components to your app. At the moment, you will need to manually remove the gem and its frontend components if you don't need them.

Compatibility

Because this project copies files over the host application, and it is intended to be used only when Solidus is installed for the first time, we can guarantee the latest code only works with the latest available version of Solidus and Rails.

This means that each Solidus version will have one specific supported version of the Starter Frontend. Each version is stored in a different branch of this repository. For example, Solidus v3.3 will be working with Solidus Starter Frontend's templates coming from v3.3 branch of this repository.

This compatibility is also enforced in the Solidus installer. In fact, each Solidus version will point its installer to the template of the corresponding branch over here.

Security updates

To receive security announcements concerning Solidus Starter Frontend, please subscribe to the Solidus Security mailing list. The mailing list is very low traffic, and it receives the public notifications the moment the vulnerability is published. For more information, please check out https://solidus.io/security.

Development

For information about contributing to this project please refer to this document. There you'll find information on tasks like:

  • Testing the extension
  • Running the sandbox
  • Updating the changelog
  • Releasing new versions
  • Docker development

CI Testing Strategy

The following parameters are considered in the CI testing strategy:

Database

We are testing this starter kit against PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite.

Ruby Version

We are testing this starter kit against the currently supported Ruby versions.

Rails version

We are testing this starter kit against the last Rails version at the time the corresponding Solidus version has been released. Eg. Solidus v3.3 tests against Rails 7.0

Solidus Version

  • main branch will test installing itself over Solidus main only.
  • the branch corresponding to the latest Solidus release (with vX.X format) will only test installing itself over the corresponding Solidus version.
  • branches targetting older Solidus versions won't be tested.

Scheduled pipelines

Daily, we are running a scheduled test suite run against the main branch and the branch corresponding to the latest Solidus release. This scheduled test will give us more confidence that this starter kit always works with the latest Solidus's released versions and the development version.
