Setting Up Your Environment

Before you can start contributing to theme-tools, you'll need to set up your development environment. Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Clone the repository: Clone the theme-tools repository to your local machine by running the following command in your terminal:

    git clone https://github.com/Shopify/theme-tools.git

  2. Install dependencies: Navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies by running:

    cd theme-tools
yarn

  3. Build monorepo packages: Ensure that all packages can be buildable:

    yarn build

  4. Run tests: Ensure that all tests pass by running:

    yarn test

  5. Start developing: If you're developing changes to test against the vscode extension, all you need to do is add a breakpoint anywhere in a package used within the VS Code extension, hit f5 in VS Code and your development instance of theme-check will automatically open.

Developing for online-store-web

It is strongly recommended that you use the spin constellation: theme-tools:online-store as your development environment for this.

To set up the package links to online-store-web, within this repo root run: yarn admin:init

This process has a small gotcha: online-store-web needs to use the built assets from theme-tools. This means that hot-reload is off the table.

Once you've made some changes to your local theme-tools packages, to see those changes represented in online-store-web; within this repo root run: yarn admin:build

Developing for codemirror-language-client

Run the following command to start a browser instance that runs @shopify/theme-language-server-browser.

yarn playground
