Original repo: https://github.com/CrystallizeAPI/crystallize-gatsby-boilerplate

-added keywords to capture gatsbyjs telemetry -published to npmjs. -Gatsbyjs-ified nameing convention: ~crystallize-gatsby-boilerplate~ to gatsby-theme-crystallize -published to npmjs as a gatsby-theme

The theme you need to get a frontend up and running on the [headless ecommerce][8] & GraphQL based [product Information Management][9] service [Crystallize][10]. [React/graphql commerce with Gatsby][11].

Getting Started

🚀 Quick start

1. Setup this site.

   Use the Gatsby CLI to Clone this site.

   # Clone this Repositories
   gatsby new crystallize-project https://github.com/webmaeistro/gatsby-theme-crystallize.git

2. Setup your API Dash

 goto crystallize.com register a user (its free up to a sertan point see pricing) and goto security tab and copy your tenant name

example: tenant=your-tenant

3. Start developing.

   Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

   cd crystallize-project
        
        

two gatsby-specific things to do first

A:

Open the crystallize-project directory in your code editor of choice and make sure you'r gatsby.config has the following lines (among others):

file: /gatsby.config:

{
            resolve: `gatsby-source-graphql`,
            options: {
                // This type will contain remote schema Query type
                typeName: `CRYSTALLIZE`,
                // This is the field under which it's accessible
                fieldName: `crystallize`,
                // URL to query from
                url: `${process.env.CRYSTALLIZE_API_BASE}/${process.env.CRYSTALLIZE_TENANT_ID}/catalogue`,
            },
        },

B:

create a file named crysallize.config in the root of your project and copy paste the following lines:

CRYSTALLIZE_API_BASE=https://api.crystallize.com
CRYSTALLIZE_TENANT_ID=<your-tenant-from-section-2-above>

4. fire up your site and customize it!

Run the following in the root of your project:

gatsby develop

How to Fetch Products Products are a core part of the catalogue.

Sample Product Query: graphql:

query {
  catalogue(language: "en", path: "/cuddly-toys/kevin-the-kiwi") {
    ...item
    ...product
  }
}
fragment item on Item {
  id
  name
  type
  path
  components {
    name
    type
    meta {
      key
      value
    }
    content {
      ...singleLine
      ...richText
      ...imageContent
      ...paragraphCollection
    }
  }
}
fragment product on Product {
  vatType {
    name
    percent
  }
  isVirtual
  isSubscriptionOnly
  variants {
    id
    name
    sku
    price
    stock
    isDefault
    image {
      url
      altText
      key
      variants {
        key
        width
      }
    }
    subscriptionPlans {
      id
      name
      initialPeriod
      initialPrice
      recurringPeriod
      recurringPrice
    }
  }
}
fragment image on Image {
  url
  altText
  key
  variants {
    url
    width
    key
  }
}
fragment imageContent on ImageContent {
  images {
    ...image
  }
}
fragment singleLine on SingleLineContent {
  text
}
fragment richText on RichTextContent {
  json
  html
  plainText
}
fragment paragraphCollection on ParagraphCollectionContent {
  paragraphs {
    title {
      ...singleLine
    }
    body {
      ...richText
    }
    images {
      ...image
    }
  }
}

We use the src/ directory to hold the actual entry pages related to query result in gatsby-node.js.

Styled components and UI.

NB! react-framework orientated more then traditional gatsby file struckture

💫 Deploy

There are multiple alternatives for deployments, check out one of the ones below:

Deploying with [Vercel Now][19]

• Register a Vercel account
• Install Vercel Now: npm i -g now
• Run now

extraction of gatsby-node.js:

 // Map Crystallize shape names to the page templates
  const templates = {
    Article: path.resolve(`src/page-templates/article.js`),
    Product: path.resolve(`src/page-templates/product/index.js`),
    Folder: path.resolve(`src/page-templates/folder.js`),
  }

• Get items 5 levels deep from Crystallize.
• You can get even more levels by quering more children:
• children {
• path
• shape {

• name

• }
• }

extraction from gatsby-node.js

return graphql(
  `
    query loadAllCrystallizeCatalogueItems {
      crystallize {
        catalogue(language: "en", path: "/") {
          children {
            path
            shape {
              name
            }
            children {
              path
              shape {
                name
              }
              children {
                path
                shape {
                  name
                }
                children {
                  path
                  shape {
                    name
                  }
                  children {
                    path
                    shape {
                      name
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  `
).then(result => {
  if (result.errors) {
    throw result.errors
  }

  // Reduce all items into a single flat array
  const items = []
  {
    ;(function add({ path, shape, children }) {
      if (path && shape) {
        // Ensure that we have a template for this shape
        if (shape.name in templates) {
          items.push({ path, shape, component: templates[shape.name] })
        } else {
          items.push({ path, shape, component: templates.Folder })
          console.log(
            `No template was found for shape "${shape.name}". "${path}" is rendered using the Folder template`
          )
        }
      }
      if (children) {
        children.forEach(add)
      }
    })(result.data.crystallize.catalogue)
  }

Create pages for each node

      Add optional context data to be inserted
       as props into the page component..
      
       The context data can also be used as
       arguments to the page GraphQL query.
      
       The page "path" is always available as a GraphQL
       argument.
    },
  })
})

}) }
