A store theme powered by VTEX and Gatsby

Kick-off your project with this default boilerplate. This starter ships with the main VTEX Store configuration files you might need to get up and running blazing fast with the blazing-fast store for React.

🚀 Quick start

0. Clone this repo

   Get up and running by cloning this repo.

   # Clone this repo into your machine
   npx degit vtex-sites/storecomponents.store my-awesome-store

1. Install dependencies

   Install dependencies with yarn

   cd my-awesome-store/
   yarn

2. Setup env vars.

   Chose a store by changing the vtex.env file and adding your own custom account name.

3. Start developing.

   Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

   gatsby develop

4. Open the source code and start editing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

   Open the my-awesome-store directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real-time!

🧐 What's inside?

A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.

.
├── node_modules
├── src
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── .eslintrc.js
├── gatsby-browser.js
├── gatsby-config.js
├── gatsby-node.js
├── gatsby-ssr.js
├── LICENSE
└── yarn.lock
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── vtex.env
└── README.md

1. /node_modules: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.

2. /src: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. src is a convention for “source code”.

3. .gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.

4. .prettierrc: This is a configuration file for Prettier. Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent.

5. .eslintrc.js: This is a configuration file for ESLint. ESlint is a tool to find and fix problems in your JavaScript code.

6. gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail).

7. gatsby-node.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.

8. LICENSE: Gatsby is licensed under the MIT license.

9. yarn.lock (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).

10. package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.

11. tsconfig.json: The configuration file for the typescript compiler. This will statically analyze your code for errors and bugs before releasing them into production

12. vtex.env: Environment variables needed for accessing your account in VTEX

13. README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.

🎓 Learning Gatsby

Looking for more guidance? Full documentation for Gatsby lives on their website. Here are some places to start:

• For most developers, we recommend starting with Gatsby's in-depth tutorial for creating a site with Gatsby. It starts with zero assumptions about your level of ability and walks through every step of the process.

• To dive straight into code samples, head to Gatsby's documentation. In particular, check out the Guides, API Reference, and Advanced Tutorials sections in the sidebar.

⚡ Performance

This project uses Google's Lighthouse CI for analyzing the store's performance and setting performance budgets. The URLs tested can be found and changed in the ci.collect.url property. Feel free to change this at your will
