Build a Shopify app using React Router

This is a Shopify app for managing QR codes. It is the code for the Build a Shopify app using React Router tutorial.

You can follow the tutorial, or just browse the code.

Quick start

Prerequisites

1. You must download and install Node.js if you don't already have it.
2. You must create a Shopify partner account if you don’t have one.
3. You must create a store for testing if you don't have one, either a development store or a Shopify Plus sandbox store.

Setup

Using yarn:

yarn install

Using npm:

npm install

Using pnpm:

pnpm install

Local Development

shopify app dev

Press P to open the URL to your app. Once you click install, you can start development.

Local development is powered by the Shopify CLI. It logs into your partners account, connects to an app, provides environment variables, updates remote config, creates a tunnel and provides commands to generate extensions.

Deployment

Application Storage

This template uses Prisma to store session data, by default using an SQLite database. The database is defined as a Prisma schema in prisma/schema.prisma.

This use of SQLite works in production if your app runs as a single instance. The database that works best for you depends on the data your app needs and how it is queried. Here’s a short list of databases providers that provide a free tier to get started:

Database	Type	Hosters
MySQL	SQL	Digital Ocean, Planet Scale, Amazon Aurora, Google Cloud SQL
PostgreSQL	SQL	Digital Ocean, Amazon Aurora, Google Cloud SQL
Redis	Key-value	Digital Ocean, Amazon MemoryDB
MongoDB	NoSQL / Document	Digital Ocean, MongoDB Atlas

To use one of these, you can use a different datasource provider in your schema.prisma file, or a different SessionStorage adapter package.

Build

Build the app by running the command below with the package manager of your choice:

Using yarn:

yarn build

Using npm:

npm run build

Using pnpm:

pnpm run build

Hosting

When you're ready to set up your app in production, you can follow our deployment documentation to host your app on a cloud provider like Heroku or Fly.io.

When you reach the step for setting up environment variables, you also need to set the variable NODE_ENV=production.
