Capybara – Storefront UI based theme for Vue Storefront

New default template theme for Vue Storefront, based on Storefront UI. 90% of the Capybara code is closed in the Storefront UI library. Thanks to it, Capybara can maintain its flexibility, but minimize the risk of errors.

? Current status: Production Ready

We have prepared short introduction to our coding standards and conventions we are using in Capybara theme.

✨ Features

Capybara theme provides out of the box ready to use elements, like Cart, Checkout, Modals or Product-related components – to name only a few of them, which all are based on awesome Storefront UI. It provides new look & feel for the Vue Storefront with simpler development experience. You can just grab it and use it, or you can play around to re-design existing components and build something new easily.

? Installation

To be able to use new Capybara theme in your Vue Storefront installation, you need to:

1. Install lerna globally:

   npm install -g lerna
   

   or

   yarn global add lerna
   

2. Configure vsf-capybara repository as a git submodule in theme path of your Vue Storefront workspace, and then track master branch:

   git submodule add -b master https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vsf-capybara.git src/themes/capybara
   

3. Fetch all the data:

   git submodule update --init --remote
   

4. Generate local.json file from script generate-local-config.js:

   node src/themes/capybara/scripts/generate-local-config.js
   

5. Update Vue Storefront configuration by copying local.json file from src/themes/capybara to root config directory.

6. Update TypeScript compiler option in tsconfig.json in root directory: change value for compilerOptions.paths.theme/* from default theme ["src/themes/default/*"] to brand new Capybara theme: ["src/themes/capybara/*"].

7. Download all dependencies and start development server:

   lerna bootstrap && yarn dev
   

8. That’s all! Now after opening your development server (http://localhost:3000 by default) you should see Vue Storefront with Capybara theme! ?
