Shopify BOPIS PDP App

Firebase Hosting

We are using firebase hosting for the BOPIS app deployment Here are the steps to deploy app on firebase hosting

Prerequisite

• Firebase Cli should be installed
• Firebase project should be created
• You should have access to firebase project

Dev deployment

• Update the DEV instance url at .env.production file

• Build the application using following command ionic build

• Login into firebase firebase login

• Run following command to deploy to firebase hosting firebase deploy --only hosting:sm-dev

How to build application in different environment or modes(staging, production, qa, etc)?

As there is a bug in Ionic cli due to which we cannot pass flag variables for commands (See #4669). To build application in different modes we need to use vue-cli-service to build and then use the built app using capacitor copy command further.

Follow following instructions:

1. Manually build the application using vue-cli-service: npx vue-cli-service build --mode=sandbox

2. Copy web assets to the native project without building the app: ionic capacitor copy ios --no-build

3. Open the Android Studio / XCode project: ionic capacitor open android
   ionic capacitor open ios

How to build script:

npm run build

Requirements when installing the app on a store:

• Need to have a div with class name product-form__controls-group--submit
• Need the store insance url on which the app needs to be installed
• Need the instance url for fetching the inventory information

To Do:

• Create a wrapper in hc for the shopify admin API, so to call the API directly from front-end.
• Currently, hardcoded the variant that we are adding to the cart but need to update this when we will fetching the variant information directly using Shopify API.
• Design a UI to get the instance url of the store on which the app needs to be installed.
• Design a UI to get the instance url for fetching the inventory information.
• Show the add to cart popup on click of the pick up button

Working

• We are using the script tag API to insert out script in a specific store Advantage: Using script API will help to remove the script automatically whenever the app is unistalled from store.
• Using the 'dev-hc.hotwax.io/api/checkInventory' endpoint to fetch the inventory information, it returns the facilityId which is then added to the cart item properties when adding the product to the cart.
