How to use

Quick start

1. Create an account on DatoCMS.

2. Make sure that you have set up the Github integration on Vercel.

3. Let DatoCMS set everything up for you clicking this button below:

Local setup

Once the setup of the project and repo is done, clone the repo locally.

Set up environment variables

In your DatoCMS' project, go to the Settings menu at the top and click API tokens.

Then click Read-only API token and copy the token.

Next, copy the .env.example file in this directory to .env (which will be ignored by Git):

cp .env.local.sample .env.local

and set the DATOCMS_READONLY_API_TOKEN variable as the API token you just copied.

Also then set a secret token that is being used for WebPreviews, SEO Previews and Cache invalidation:

URL=http://localhost:3000
SEO_SECRET_TOKEN=superSecretToken
DRAFT_SECRET_TOKEN=superSecretToken
CACHE_INVALIDATION_SECRET_TOKEN=superSecretToken

Run your project locally

npm install
npm run dev

Your eCommerce shop should be up and running on http://localhost:3000!

VS Code

It's strongly suggested to install the GraphQL: Language Feature Support extension, to get autocomplete suggestions, validation against schema, and many more niceties when working with your GraphQL queries.
