Documentation

Environments

• Preview: https://main--{repo}--{owner}.aem.page/
• Live: https://main--{repo}--{owner}.aem.live/

Pre-requisites

Out of the box, this project template uses a pre-configured Adobe Commerce environment. If you want to use your own Adobe Commerce environment, you'll need to update the configs.xlsx file in your content repository to have values that match your environment.

Additionally, you need to have the following modules and customizations installed on your environment:

1. adobe-commerce/storefront-compatibility: Contains changes to the Adobe Commerce GraphQL API that enable drop-ins functionality.
2. magento/module-data-services-graphql: Commerce module with the functionality necessary for adding context to events.
3. magento/module-page-builder-product-recommendations: Commerce module required for PRex Widget
4. magento/module-visual-product-recommendations: Commerce module required for PRex Widget

Documentation

Before using the boilerplate, we recommend you to go through the documentation on https://www.aem.live/docs/ and more specifically:

1. Developer Tutorial
2. The Anatomy of a Project
3. Web Performance
4. Markup, Sections, Blocks, and Auto Blocking

Initial Setup

The boilerplate assumes you already have an aem.live org and will onboard a new site via config service. If you do not have an aem.live org, you will need to contact Adobe to have one created, or you can do the following:

1. Upload the starter content somewhere (https://da.live, sharepoint, google drive, etc).
2. Update the mountpoint in the default-fstab.yaml to point to your content.
3. Rename the file to fstab.yaml and commit/push the change.
4. Install the AEM Code Sync Bot
5. Verify the site is working at https://main--{site}--{org}.aem.page
6. Add a /.helix/config.xlsx to your content, and add a admin.role.admin row with your email address.
7. Preview/save this file. This should update the site config with the permissions.
8. Delete the /.helix/config.xlsx and the fstab.yaml again and use the site config from here on.

Config Service

Before running the command, replace the following variables to match your project values:

• {ORG} - Name of your organistation in GitHub.
• {SITE} - Name of your site in the org. For the first site in your org, it must be equal to the GitHub repository name.
• {REPO} - Name of your GitHub repository.
• {ADMIN_USER_EMAIL} - Email address of your config admin user.
• {ADMIN_USER_ID} - User ID of your authoring admin (click user icon in top right, then click "share" icon in da.live to copy).
• {DOMAIN} - Public facing domain of your site (e.g. www.your-shop.com).
• {YOUR_TOKEN} - Your personal access token. You can retrieve one from login via one of the methods from https://admin.hlx.page/login and copy the token from the auth_token cookie in the response.

Please use HTTP PUT for the initial creation of the configuration and POST for subsequent updates.

curl -X PUT 'https://admin.hlx.page/config/{org}/sites/{site}.json' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'x-auth-token: {YOUR_TOKEN}' \
  --data-binary '@default-config.json'

Apply Index Configuration

curl -X POST 'https://admin.hlx.page/config/{org}/sites/{site}/content/query.yaml' \
  -H 'content-type: text/yaml' \
  -H 'x-auth-token: {YOUR_TOKEN}' \
  --data-binary '@default-query.yaml'

Apply Sitemap Configuration

curl -X POST 'https://admin.hlx.page/config/{org}/sites/{site}/content/sitemap.yaml' \
  -H 'content-type: text/yaml' \
  -H 'x-auth-token: {YOUR_TOKEN}' \
  --data-binary '@default-sitemap.yaml'

After you onboard to config service you can delete fstab.yaml and other files that are no longer necessary.

Installation

npm i

Updating Drop-in dependencies

You may need to update one of the drop-in components, or @adobe/magento-storefront-event-collector or @adobe/magento-storefront-events-sdk to a new version. Besides checking the release notes for any breaking changes, ensure you also execute the postinstall script so that the dependenices in your scripts/__dropins__ directory are updated to the latest build. This should be run immediately after you update the component, for example:

npm install @dropins/storefront-cart@2.0. # Updates the storefront-cart dependency in node_modules/
npm run postinstall # Copies scripts from node_modules into scripts/__dropins__

This is a custom script which copies files out of node_modules and into a local directory which EDS can serve. You must manually run postinstall due to a design choice in npm which does not execute postinstall after you install a specific package.

Linting

npm run lint

Local development

1. Create a new repository based on the aem-boilerplate-commerce template, rename default-fstab.yaml to fstab.yaml and add a mountpoint for your site content.
2. Add the AEM Code Sync GitHub App to the repository
3. Add your Adobe Commerce configuration in the configs-dev.xlsx sheet in your content repository.
4. Install all dependencies using npm i.
5. Start AEM Proxy: npm run start (opens your browser at http://localhost:3000)
6. Open the {repo} directory in your favourite IDE and start coding :)
