eCommWar

eCommerce JavaScript

eCommWar

eCommWar.com, a leaderboard of top open-source e-commerce platforms.

Contributing

Missing an e-commerce platform here? Just fork the repo and add your platform
as a <name>.md in the source/projects folder.
Make sure to follow the following rules:

  • Open Source: The platform must have a public repository on Github that we can link to and pull in stats from.
  • Stick to the format: Fill out all the same fields as the other e-commerce platforms in source/projects.
  • Short description: Keep all the details for the body text, keep the description for the overview page short and sweet.

Dependencies

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt install ruby-bundler ruby-dev

Other

Check whether ruby could compile native extensions.
middleman depends on nokogiri which needs to compile native extension.

Running locally

eCommWar is built with Middleman. To install and run locally:

    git clone https://github.com/eCommWar/eCommWar.git
    cd eCommWar
    bundle install --path vendor/bundle
    bundle exec middleman

You’ll run into GitHub’s API limits very quickly if you just do this. To avoid this we recommend you create a Github API token with permissions to access public repositories and Gist.
Then create a Gist with a single file data.json with an empty javascript object literal as content: {}
Then set these environment variables before running middleman:

    export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
    export GIST_ID=ID_OF_YOUR_GIST

Then middleman will use the Gist you specified to archive stats (stars, forks and issues) for the repositories.
