Note

Since @shopify/cli: ^3.59 the @shopify/app is bundled with the CLI. You can safely remove the @shopify/app dependency from the root package.json file. this is reflected in shopify-app-vue-template > v1.2.3 you should no longer see npm warnings

Prefer to use GraphQL API for interacting with Shopify. See Migrating From REST to GraphQL

• Vue Router 4 for single page app routing
• Vue i18n for app localization
• Pinia for state management
• EsLint for static code analysis
• Prettier for code formatting

Internationalization 🌍🆕

Adding a new translation

• Use Vue i18n for app localization. To add a new language, create a new json file in the Locales Folder folder and add the translations. See i18n.js for setup.

• All translatiion files are lazily loaded, meaning only the translations for the current language are loaded.

• Default language is what is returned by shopify reading the locale query parameter. If not set, it fallbacks to en.

• Vue Router will embed the language in the URL, e.g localhost:3000/en or localhost:3000/zh/about

• The template has been localized, see Locales Folder folder. Translations may not be 100% accurate so pull requests are welcome.
