• International shopping capabilities powered by Commerce Layer APIs.
• Micro CLI seeder to import Commerce Layer data.

Getting started

The quickest way to get up and running is to go to https://www.sanity.io/create?template=commercelayer/sanity-template-commercelayer and create a new project by following the instructions on Sanity.

Alternatively, you can clone this repository, configure the starter, import the dataset into your Sanity studio, import some test data into your Commerce Layer organization, and deploy your application.

⚙️ Installation guide

1. Clone this repository (learn how to do this).

2. Rename the /env.example file to .env and add the following:

• Your project ID, dataset, and token from manage.sanity.io.
• Your client ID and client endpoint from Commerce Layer.

3. Run the command below to install the necessary dependencies of your project:

npm install && cd /studio && sanity install

4. Add your projectTitle, projectId, and dataset in /studio/sanity.json.

5. Run the command below to start the development server:

npm run dev

This will run the frontend at localhost:3000 and studio at localhost:3333.

⬇️ Import test studio content

If you set up your project from the starters page on Sanity, you should skip this step as Sanity will automatically add the dataset's content.

1. Extract the production.tar.gz file in /.sanity-template/data directory using the command below:

tar -xf production.tar.gz

The extracted folder name should look like production-export-2021-02-26t14-15-56-557z.

2. Run the command below in /studio to import the data.ndjson file in the extracted folder.

sanity dataset import ../.sanity-template/data/<name of extracted folder>/data.ndjson <your_dataset>

3. Check the frontend and studio now to preview the imported content.

⬇️ Seed Commerce Layer data

1. Create a free Commerce Layer account.

2. Create a new organization.

3. Create a new application in the Integrations tab with Name set to <Project Name>, and Role set to admin.

4. In your newly created application, copy your Client ID, Client Secret, and organization slug.

5. Install the Commerce Layer CLI which is available as an npm package using the command below:

// npm
npm install -g @commercelayer/cli

//yarn
yarn global add @commercelayer/cli

6. Log into your application via the CLI using the previously created CLI credentials like so:

commercelayer applications:login -o <organizationSlug> -i <clientId> -s <clientSecret> -a <applicationAlias>

7. Install the seeder plugin using the command below:
