AstroJS Boilerplate


This repository is what we call a "subtree split": a read-only copy of one directory of the main repository. If you want to report or contribute, you should do it on the main repository: https://github.com/CrystallizeAPI/boilerplates.


The product storytelling boilerplate is a minimal eCommerce boilerplate built using AstroJS and Crystallize. You can also check out the live demo (deploy it) of this boilerplate.

Folder Structure

This section provides you with a better understanding of the folder structure.

src/components

Contains all the components used throughout the application

src/use-cases

Includes the GraphQL queries and mutations used to communicate with Crystallize.

src/pages

Has all the individual pages the website contains.

Editing the theme

All the theme related information can be edited in the tailwind.config.js file. This includes the colors, spacing, typography used throughout the application.

Editing the components

Components can be edited by heading over to the components folder in src.

Frontpage

The frontpage contains a grid and it is fetching all the grid related information (including the layout) from Crystallize. You can directly edit the grid in Crystallize for changes to take effect. Editing the styling such as the background and typography can be done in the grid-item component.

Product

Individual product pages are using two components - one is the product component that contains the hero section, and the ‘Add to cart’ button and then the product-body component that can be edited to change the layout of the marketing information displayed on the page.

Cart, Checkout, and Confirmation

The basket, checkout, and the confirmation pages can be edited in their respective files located in the pages folder.

Please note that this boilerplate does not contain payment integrations such as Stripe. It is using a dummy payment method.
