Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

shopify-express-x

A small set of abstractions that will help you quickly build an Express.js app that consumes the Shopify API.

Install

yarn add shopify-express-x

Example

const express = require('express');
const shopifyExpress = require('shopify-express-x');
const session = require('express-session');

const app = express();

const {
  SHOPIFY_APP_KEY,
  SHOPIFY_APP_HOST,
  SHOPIFY_APP_SECRET,
  NODE_ENV,
} = process.env;

// session is necessary for api proxy and auth verification
app.use(session({secret: SHOPIFY_APP_SECRET}));

const {routes, withShop} = shopifyExpress({
  host: SHOPIFY_APP_HOST,
  apiKey: SHOPIFY_APP_KEY,
  secret: SHOPIFY_APP_SECRET,
  scope: ['write_orders, write_products'],
  accessMode: 'offline',
  afterAuth(request, response) {
    const { session: { accessToken, shop } } = request;
    // install webhooks or hook into your own app here
    return response.redirect('/');
  },
});

// mounts '/auth' and '/api' off of '/shopify'
app.use('/shopify', routes);

// shields myAppMiddleware from being accessed without session
app.use('/myApp', withShop({authBaseUrl: '/shopify'}), myAppMiddleware)

Shopify routes

  const {routes} = shopifyExpress(config);
  app.use('/', routes);

Provides mountable routes for authentication and API proxying. The authentication endpoint also handles shop session storage using a configurable storage strategy (defaults to SQLite).

/auth/shopify

Serves a login endpoint so merchants can access your app with a shop session.

/api

Proxies requests to the api for the currently logged in shop. Useful to securely use api endpoints from a client application without having to worry about CORS.

shopStore

shopifyExpress's config takes an optional shopStore key, You can use this to define a strategy for how the module will store your persistent data for user sessions.

Strategies

By default the package comes with MemoryStrategy, RedisStrategy, and SqliteStrategy. If none are specified, the default is MemoryStrategy.

MemoryStrategy

Simple javascript object based memory store for development purposes. Do not use this in production!

const shopifyExpress = require('@shopify/shopify-express');
const {MemoryStrategy} = require('@shopify/shopify-express/strategies');

const shopify = shopifyExpress({
  shopStore: new MemoryStrategy(redisConfig),
  ...restOfConfig,
});

RedisStrategy

Uses redis under the hood, so you can pass it any configuration that's valid for the library.

const shopifyExpress = require('@shopify/shopify-express');
const {RedisStrategy} = require('@shopify/shopify-express/strategies');

const redisConfig = {
  // your config here
};

const shopify = shopifyExpress({
  shopStore: new RedisStrategy(redisConfig),
  ...restOfConfig,
});

SQLStrategy

Uses knex under the hood, so you can pass it any configuration that's valid for the library. By default it uses sqlite3 so you'll need to run yarn add sqlite3 to use it. Knex also supports postgreSQL and mySQL.

const shopifyExpress = require('@shopify/shopify-express');
const {SQLStrategy} = require('@shopify/shopify-express/strategies');

// uses sqlite3 if no settings are specified
const knexConfig = {
  // your config here
};

const shopify = shopifyExpress({
  shopStore: new SQLStrategy(knexConfig),
  ...restOfConfig,
});

SQLStrategy expects a table named shops with a primary key id, and string fields for shopify_domain and access_token. It's recommended you index shopify_domain since it is used to look up tokens.

If you do not have a table already created for your store, you can generate one with new SQLStrategy(myConfig).initialize(). This returns a promise so you can finish setting up your app after it if you like, but we suggest you make a separate db initialization script, or keep track of your schema yourself.

Custom Strategy

shopifyExpress accepts any javascript class matching the following interface:

  class Strategy {
    // shop refers to the shop's domain name
    getShop({ shop }): Promise<{accessToken: string}>
    // shop refers to the shop's domain name
    storeShop({ shop, accessToken }): Promise<{accessToken: string}>
  }

Helper middleware

const {middleware: {withShop, withWebhook}} = shopifyExpress(config);

withShop

app.use('/someProtectedPath', withShop({authBaseUrl: '/shopify'}), someHandler);

Express middleware that validates the presence of your shop session. The parameter you pass to it should match the base URL for where you've mounted the shopify routes.

withWebhook

app.use('/someProtectedPath', withWebhook, someHandler);

Express middleware that validates the presence of a valid HMAC signature to allow webhook requests from shopify to your app.

Gotchas

Install route

For the moment the app expects you to mount your install route at /install. See shopify-node-app for details.

Express Session

This library expects express-session or a compatible library to be installed and set up for much of it's functionality. Api Proxy and auth verification functions won't work without something putting a session key on request.

It is possible to use auth without a session key on your request, but not recommended.

Body Parser

This library handles body parsing on it's own for webhooks. If you're using webhooks you should make sure to follow express best-practices by only adding your body parsing middleware to specific routes that need it.

Good

  app.use('/some-route', bodyParser.json(), myHandler);

  app.use('/webhook', withWebhook(myWebhookHandler));
  app.use('/', shopifyExpress.routes);

Bad

  app.use(bodyParser.json());
  app.use('/some-route', myHandler);

  app.use('/webhook', withWebhook(myWebhookHandler));
  app.use('/', shopifyExpress.routes);
