FirstSpirit Connect for Commerce - Spryker Commerce OS Bridge

Overview

Connect for Commerce Bridge API

The bridge API serves as a REST interface which is able to fetch content, product and category information from any shop backend and to display them in reports in the FirstSpirit ContentCreator.

In order to connect the bridge API with a given shop backend a bridge is needed. It acts as a microservice between the shop backend and FirstSpirit. Further information about how to implement and use a bridge can be found in the official documentation.

For more information about FirstSpirit or Connect for Commerce please use this contact form to get in touch.

Spryker Commerce OS

This project implements the bridge API to connect FirstSpirit and the Spryker Commerce OS e-commerce platform.

Prerequisites

  • Server running node 18 or later
  • Spryker Commerce OS instance
  • Access to the Glue API

Getting Started

The configuration is done by copying the .env.template file in the root directory to a .env file and editing it.

Param Description
PORT The port on which the bridge is started.
BRIDGE_AUTH_USERNAME The username to access the bridge's API.
BRIDGE_AUTH_PASSWORD The password to access the bridge's API.
DEFAULT_LANG The language to be used, when no language is provided via query parameter.

Run bridge

Before starting the bridge for the first time, you have to install its dependencies:

npm install

To start the bridge run:

npm start

Run bridge in development mode

To start the bridge and re-start it whenever a file changed:

npm run start:watch

View the Swagger UI interface

Open http://localhost:3000/docs in your browser to display the bridge's interactive API documentation.

Configure FirstSpirit Module

In order to enable the Connect for Commerce FirstSpirit Module to communicate with the bridge, you have to configure it. Please refer to the documentation to learn how to achive this.

Multi-Tenant Support

We provide an example Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to enable multi-tenant support for this service.

Build and tag the Docker image with a custom name and version:

docker build -t <IMAGE_NAME>:<VERSION> .

The docker-compose.yml demonstrates how to define multiple instances of the bridge with a different configuration.

Replace <IMAGE_NAME>:<VERSION> with the name and tag that you chose for your Docker image. Each configuration for an instance is set with a different .env.* file. The path to it needs to be defined under env_file.

Start the containers:

docker compose up -d

Stop the containers:

docker compose down

Please be aware that the Docker containers need to be accessible from your FirstSpirit instance in order to work with the Connect for Commerce module. A deployment to a Cloud provider might be necessary for this.
