## What is Included?
|
|
|
|
### Vue Starter 💚
|
|
|
|
- [Vue.js 3.5](https://vuejs.org/)
|
|
- [Vue Router 4](https://router.vuejs.org/) for single-page app routing
|
|
- [Vue i18n](https://vue-i18n.intlify.dev/) for app localization
|
|
- [Pinia](https://pinia.esm.dev/) for state management
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Internationalization 🌍
|
|
|
|
### Adding a New Translation
|
|
|
|
- Use `Vue i18n` for app localization. To add a new language, create a new JSON file in the [`Locales Folder`](./web/frontend/src/locales/) and add the translations. See [i18n.js](./web/frontend/src/i18n.js) for setup.
|
|
- All translation files are lazily loaded, meaning only the translations for the current language are loaded.
|
|
- The default language is what Shopify returns via the `locale` query parameter. If not set, it falls back to `en`.
|
|
- Vue Router embeds the language in the URL, e.g., `localhost:3000/en` or `localhost:3000/zh/about`.
|
|
- The template has been localized. See the [`Locales Folder`](./web/frontend/src/locales/) folder. Translations may not be 100% accurate, so pull requests are welcome.

## FAQ

<details>
|
|
<summary>How do I deploy this app?</summary>
|
|
|
|
#### Using My Own Server (Linux VPS/Render.com/Heroku)
|
|
1. Set up your domain, e.g., `https://shopify-vue.minisylar.com`.
|
|
2. Run `npm run show:env` to retrieve environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SHOPIFY_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY>
|
|
SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=<YOUR_SECRET>
|
|
SCOPES="write_products,read_products"
|
|
HOST=https://shopify-vue.minisylar.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Using Dockerfile
|
|
- Add the variables in the environment section of your hosting service (e.g., Render).
|
|
- Build and deploy the Dockerfile.
|
|
- For manual deployment:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker build --build-arg SHOPIFY_API_KEY=<your_api_key> --build-arg SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=<your_api_secret> \
|
|
--build-arg SCOPES=<your_scopes> --build-arg HOST=<your_host> -t <image_name>:<tag> .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Omit `<` and `>` when providing values. Store secrets securely if using CI/CD pipelines.

try {
|
|
const response = await fetch("https://dummyjson.com/products", { method: "GET" });

if (response.ok) {
|

res.status(200).send(await response.json());
|
|
} else {
|
|
res.status(500).send({ error: "Failed to fetch data" });
|
|
}
|
