I am trying to integrate vuestorefront with shopify but unable to understand
proper way
there are many repositories like
vue storefront for front end
https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront
vue storefront api for back end
https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront-api
vue storefront integration boilerplate for 3rd party integration (in our case Shopify )
https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront-integration-boilerplate
this is all I know
I have problem in vue storefront integration boilerplate
unable to find a way to communicate with shopify
docs are saying
I need to built a new app on any platform that app will communicate with vue storefront integration boilerplate(vs bridge) and shopify

this is example config for magento in vs bridge(vue storefront integration boilerplate) 

{
    "elasticsearch": {
        "host": "",
        "indexName": "vue_storefront_magento1"
    },
    "vsbridge": {
        "url": "http://example.com:80/",
        "auth": {
            "username": "admin",
            "password": "password123",
            "secret": "Geiw0qua"
        },
        "auth_endpoint": "http://example.com/vsbridge/auth/admin",
        "product_endpoint": "http://example.com/vsbridge/products/index",
        "category_endpoint": "http://example.com/vsbridge/categories/index",
        "taxrule_endpoint": "http://example.com/vsbridge/taxrules/index",

    }
}

The way I see is to create a "middleware" app and place it somewhere. This app should be build based on the integration bolierplate examples and server the data fetched from Shopify API.

When this "middleware" or "bridge" app is done. It will be possible to connect it to VueStorefront as the vue-storefront-api replacement. In vue storefront config you will not provide URLS to the vue-storefront-api but to your own app URLs.

  • yes I successfully built custom integration using the boilerplate, that's how I know :) Feel free to join official vueStorefront slack channel ( https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront#join-the-community-on-slack ) if you have additional questions when SO is not enough anymore or you have simply too many questions. but other than that, just use `vue-storefront` tag and I'll help on SO as much as I can with the other questions you might have. – Jan Myszkier Feb 11 '19 at 09:15
