Shopify Node.js x Express.js x React.js

An embedded app starter template to get up and ready with Shopify app development with JavaScript. This is heavily influenced by the choices Shopify Engineering team made in building their starter template to ensure smooth transition between templates.

Tech Stack

• React.js
• Express.js
• MongoDB
• Vite

Why I made this

The Shopify CLI generates an amazing starter app but it still needs some more boilerplate code and customizations so I can jump on to building apps with a simple clone. This includes:

• MongoDB based session and database management.
• Monetization (recurring subscriptions) ready to go.
• Webhooks isolated and setup.
• React routing taken care of (I miss Next.js mostly because of routing and under the hood improvements).
• Misc boilerplate code and templates to quickly setup inApp subscriptions, routes, webhooks and more.

Misc

• Storing data is kept to a minimal to allow building custom models for flexibility.
  • Session persistence is also kept to a minimal and based on the Redis example provided by Shopify, but feel free to modify as required.
