Medusa-starter-default NPM

Prerequisites

This starter has minimal prerequisites and most of these will usually already be installed on your computer.

Setting up your store

Install the Medusa CLI

npm install -g @medusajs/medusa
yarn global add @medusajs/medusa

Create a new Medusa project
```
medusa new my-medusa-store
```
Run your project
```
cd my-medusa-store
medusa develop
```

Your local Medusa server is now running on port 9000.

Seeding your Medusa store

To seed your medusa store run the following command:

medusa seed -f ./data/seed.json

This command seeds your database with some sample datal to get you started, including a store, an administrator account, a region and a product with variants. What the data looks like precisely you can see in the ./data/seed.json file.

Setting up your store with Docker

Install the Medusa CLI
```
npm install -g @medusajs/medusa-cli
```
Create a new Medusa project
```
medusa new my-medusa-store
```

Update project config in medusa-config.js:

module.exports = {
  projectConfig: {
    redis_url: REDIS_URL,
    database_url: DATABASE_URL, //postgres connectionstring
    database_type: "postgres",
    store_cors: STORE_CORS,
    admin_cors: ADMIN_CORS,
  },
  plugins,
};

Run your project
When running your project the first time docker compose should be run with the build flag to build your contianer locally:
```
docker compose up --build
```
When running your project subsequent times you can run docker compose with no flags to spin up your local environment in seconds:
```
docker compose up
```

Your local Medusa server is now running on port 9000.

Seeding your Medusa store with Docker

To add seed data to your medusa store runnign with Docker, run this command in a seperate terminal:

docker exec medusa-server medusa seed -f ./data/seed.json

This will execute the previously described seed script in the running medusa-server Docker container.

Try it out

curl -X GET localhost:9000/store/products | python -m json.tool

After the seed script has run you will have the following things in you database:

a User with the email: admin@medusa-test.com and password: supersecret
a Region called Default Region with the countries GB, DE, DK, SE, FR, ES, IT
a Shipping Option called Standard Shipping which costs 10 EUR
a Product called Cool Test Product with 4 Product Variants that all cost 19.50 EUR
