This project was generated with @vendure/create.

Useful links:

Directory structure

  • /src contains the source code of your Vendure server. All your custom code and plugins should reside here.
  • /static contains static (non-code) files such as assets (e.g. uploaded images) and email templates.

Development

yarn dev

will start the Vendure server and worker processes from the src directory.

Build

yarn build

will compile the TypeScript sources into the /dist directory.

Production

For production, there are many possibilities which depend on your operational requirements as well as your production hosting environment.

Running directly

You can run the built files directly with the start script:

yarn start

You could also consider using a process manager like pm2 to run and manage the server & worker processes.

Using Docker

We've included a sample Dockerfile which you can build with the following command:

docker build -t vendure .

This builds an image and tags it with the name "vendure". We can then run it with:

# Run the server
docker run -dp 3000:3000 -e "DB_HOST=host.docker.internal" --name vendure-server vendure npm run start:server

# Run the worker
docker run -dp 3000:3000 -e "DB_HOST=host.docker.internal" --name vendure-worker vendure npm run start:worker

Here is a breakdown of the command used above:

  • docker run - run the image we created with docker build
  • -dp 3000:3000 - the -d flag means to run in "detached" mode, so it runs in the background and does not take control of your terminal. -p 3000:3000 means to expose port 3000 of the container (which is what Vendure listens on by default) as port 3000 on your host machine.
  • -e "DB_HOST=host.docker.internal" - the -e option allows you to define environment variables. In this case we are setting the DB_HOST to point to a special DNS name that is created by Docker desktop which points to the IP of the host machine. Note that host.docker.internal only exists in a Docker Desktop environment and thus should only be used in development.
  • --name vendure-server - we give the container a human-readable name.
  • vendure - we are referencing the tag we set up during the build.
  • npm run start:server - this last part is the actual command that should be run inside the container.

Docker compose

We've included a sample docker-compose.yml file which demonstrates how the server, worker, and database may be orchestrated with Docker Compose.

Plugins

In Vendure, your custom functionality will live in plugins. These should be located in the ./src/plugins directory.

Migrations

Migrations allow safe updates to the database schema. Migrations will be required whenever you make changes to the customFields config or define new entities in a plugin.

The following npm scripts can be used to generate migrations:

yarn migration:generate [name]

The generated migration file will be found in the ./src/migrations/ directory, and should be committed to source control. Next time you start the server, and outstanding migrations found in that directory will be run by the runMigrations() function in the index.ts file.

If, during initial development, you do not wish to manually generate a migration on each change to customFields etc, you can set dbConnectionOptions.synchronize to true. This will cause the database schema to get automatically updated on each start, removing the need for migration files. Note that this is not recommended once you have production data that you cannot lose.


You can also run any pending migrations manually, without starting the server by running:

yarn migration:run

You can revert the most recently-applied migration with:

yarn migration:revert
