In this Course we cover how to Build a Full-Stack Shopify App with NodeJS, MongoDB, and a whole lot of JavaScript.
The course is based on 2 large github repositories:
Repo #1: Build a Shopify App with Node and React
This is the 8-part Tutorial by Shopify's Documentation Team itself.
That tutorial covers:
Introduction
Set up your app
Embed your app in Shopify
Build your user interface with Polaris
Learn the GraphQL Admin API
Fetch data with Apollo
Charge a fee using the Billing API
Listen for store events with webhooks
Repo #2: The Live Social King Production App
This is a very large repo with over 900 commits already.
The reason that I'm sharing this with the community is because:
a) It's much funner to code as part of a community
b) When you're employed as a Developer or working as part of a Development Team, your manager usually won't walk you through every single line of Code.
Instead, they'll say: Here's the code. I'm happy to walk you through setting up the codebase on your local machine.
If you have any questions along the way, just feel free to reach out, and I'm happy to help.
