bikeshop

A bike shop website for my favourite bikes - Using NextJS, Apollo and Shopify

Planning

• Gathered inspiration sites in an Are.na folder
• Planned out the design in

Building and Debugging

• Set up a Vite project with React and TypeScript.
• Followed a basic GraphQL and Apollo setup here guide to get started with it.
• Set up a Shopify store for development purposes and a Shopify app to acess the data via GraphQL API.
• Edited my previous GraphQL and Apollo setup to use Shopify's API. This took awhile to get right, using the console I was able to debug.
• The Apollo Chrome extension was very useful for writing GraphQL queries, in particular the Explorer tab.
• Added Tailwind for quick styling. Seeing as this is a project for quickly learning new technologies, I settled for a basic design system built on Tailwind. For now, the website is desktop only.
• Set up a component for products called product card.
• Added Storybook to the project. This can be run with npm run storybook.

Editing locally

React + TypeScript + Vite

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.

Currently, two official plugins are available:

• @vitejs/plugin-react uses Babel for Fast Refresh
• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type aware lint rules:

• Configure the top-level parserOptions property like this:

export default tseslint.config({
  languageOptions: {
    // other options...
    parserOptions: {
      project: ["./tsconfig.node.json", "./tsconfig.app.json"],
      tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
    },
  },
});

• Replace tseslint.configs.recommended to tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked or tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked
• Optionally add ...tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked
• Install eslint-plugin-react and update the config:

// eslint.config.js
import react from "eslint-plugin-react";

export default tseslint.config({
  // Set the react version
  settings: { react: { version: "18.3" } },
  plugins: {
    // Add the react plugin
    react,
  },
  rules: {
    // other rules...
    // Enable its recommended rules
    ...react.configs.recommended.rules,
    ...react.configs["jsx-runtime"].rules,
  },
});
