Nuxt.js example eComm project with responsive images from imgix content managed in Prismic and shopping cart by Snipcart
Article written on Dev.to.
Here is a Vimeo demo as well:
Run the following command to install the prismic client (you might need to add sudo):
npm install -g prismic-cli
Then you can clone this theme and initiate the prismic project:
prismic theme --theme-url https://github.com/daletom/nuxtjs-ecomm.git --conf nuxt.config.js
Remember to update your Prismic Endpoint, it is in the Nuxt.config.js line 64. You would replace tdecomm21 with the name of your prismic repo.
Next you will need to login to your Prismic Account. Create a layout and a few products.
Once this is complete, you will need to login or create a free account at Snipcart. No need to setup anything else, simply click on your account at the top right and go to API Keys. You need to copy the Public Test API Key. Now open the project folder we created when you configured the above Prismic theme. Go to your layouts folder and the default.vue file. Paste this API key with an editor. You will need to replace {your-api-key} with the snipcart API key, it will be in the hidden snipcart div that looks like this:
<div hidden id="snipcart" data-api-key="{your-api-key}"></div>
return to your terminal and cd into the project folder, then launch your nuxt front end:
cd {project-name}
npm run dev
Then you can access it at http://localhost:3000.
Launching this in Netflify or Vercel is very easy. When you are ready to launch a production environment, run npm run generate in your terminal. This will generate a dist folder in your project. You can then either connect this project to github and deploy from Netlify or just simply drag the dist folder to NetlifyDrop. If connecting from Github, you will be essentially choosing the build command to be npm run generate and the publish directory to be dist.
Here is a Live Example.
Here is the documentation for deploying Nuxt.
For Snipcart, you also need to update your storeUrl.
- Info about responsive images from imgix
- If you would like to learn more about the imgix Vue SDK that I used, here is the link to that SDK.
- Snipcart API Key - I know it seems concerning we are adding an API key for Snipcart that could be find in the javascript, but as per Snipcart:
"This key can be shared without security issues because it only allows a specific subset of API operations."
- Need more examples from Prismic? Here is a great example on making a blog
