FirstSpirit Connect for Commerce - Frontend Extension

The FirstSpirit Connect for Commerce Frontend Extension serves the ContentCreator Extension file on a simple Express server. The script enables communication between the ContentCreator and the FirstSpirit Connect module and is customizable to project specific needs.

Getting started

Setup Express server

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run npm i.
3. Copy .env.template file to .env and adjust configuration to your needs.
4. Run npm start to start the extension or npm start:watch to start in watch mode.

The script is then served on http://localhost:<PORT>/content-creator-extension.js. If no port is specified in the .env file, the extension starts on port 3000 by default.

Alternatively, it is also possible to download only the content-creator-extension.js file and save it in a location accessible to the FirstSpirit server.
