Official Commerce Flamingo Demo

Watch online: https://demoshop.flamingo.me/en/
Or try the powerful Flamingo-Commerce graphql console: https://demoshop.flamingo.me/en/graphql-console

What’s inside:

The demo shop comes with:

  • Using the Flamingo Commerce Standalone Adapter: Products and Categories are indexed from a plain CSV file into an embedded indexed search (bleve). Once an order is placed Flamingo logs the order and sends an E-Mail.
  • The multi context feature of Flamingo is used to have 2 different locales (de and en)
  • An example template using pug and Flamingo Carotene is used.

Getting Started

make frontend-build

# Run flamingo with flamingo-commerce
make serve

About the Demo Frontend – Template

The demo comes with a simple demo template in “frontend/src” that is using carotene-cli
The template is based on: https://github.com/mdbootstrap/Ecommerce-Template-Bootstrap
The following things have been changed:

  • Markup was transformed to pug and split according to atomic design
  • SASS is used instead of scss (docker run -it -v "$(pwd)":/workdir unibeautify/sass-convert -R . --from scss --to sass)

You can start watch mode with rebuilding the frontend after changes with this command:

make frontend

Production ready?

This demo project is not production ready – at least the following things need to be considered:

  • The template is not optimized and just for demo reasons, in a production template we would probably not use this bootstrap, material design demo as a start. Rather we would start a clean template based on the screen design.
  • The Secondary Adapters used in the demo are not full featured.
