A simple boilerplate package for creating Shopify embedded apps with the Elixir Phoenix framework. https://hexdocs.pm/shopifex
For from-scratch setup instructions, read Create and Elixir Phoenix Shopify App in 5 Minutes
The package can be installed
by adding shopifex
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:shopifex, "~> 0.1.2"}
]
end
Add the :shopifex
config settings to your config.ex
. More config details here
config :shopifex,
app_name: "MyApp",
shop_schema: MyApp.Shop,
repo: MyApp.Repo,
redirect_uri: "https://myapp.ngrok.io/auth/install",
webhook_uri: "https://myapp.ngrok.io/webhook",
scopes: "read_inventory,write_inventory,read_products,write_products,read_orders",
api_key: "shopifyapikey123",
secret: "shopifyapisecret456",
webhook_topics: ["app/uninstalled"]
Update your endpoint.ex
to include the custom body parser. This is necessary for HMAC validation to work.
plug Plug.Parsers,
parsers: [:urlencoded, :multipart, :json],
pass: ["*/*"],
body_reader: {ShopifexWeb.CacheBodyReader, :read_body, []},
json_decoder: Phoenix.json_library()
Update your router.ex
to include the Shopifex plugs
# Make your browser pipeline look like this
pipeline :browser do
plug :accepts, ["html"]
plug :fetch_session
plug Shopifex.Plug.FetchFlash
plug :protect_from_forgery
plug :put_secure_browser_headers
plug Shopifex.Plug.LoadInIframe
end
# Ensures that a valid store is currently loaded in the session and is accessible in your controllers/templates as `conn.private.shop`
pipeline :shopify_session do
plug Shopifex.Plug.ShopifySession
end
# Make sure the incoming requests from Shopify are valid. For example, when the app is being installed, or the initial loading of your App inside of the Shopify admin panel.
pipeline :shopify_entrypoint do
plug Shopifex.Plug.ShopifyEntrypoint
end
# Ensures that the connection has a valid Shopify webhook HMAC token
pipeline :shopify_webhook do
plug Shopifex.Plug.ShopifyWebhook
end
Now add this basic example of these plugs in action in router.ex
scope "/auth", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through [:browser, :shopify_entrypoint]
get "/", AuthController, :auth
get "/install", AuthController, :install
end
scope "/", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through [:browser, :shopify_session]
get "/", PageController, :index
end
scope "/webhook", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through [:shopify_webhook]
post "/", WebhookController, :action
end
Create a new controller called auth_controller.ex
to handle the initial iFrame load and installation
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
use ShopifexWeb.AuthController
# Thats it! Validation, installation are now handled for you :)
end
create another controller called webhook_controller.ex
to handle incoming Shopify webhooks
defmodule MyAppWeb.WebhookController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
use ShopifexWeb.WebhookController
# add as many handle_topic/3 functions here as you like! This basic one handles app uninstallation
def handle_topic(conn, shop, "app/uninstalled") do
Shopifex.Shops.delete_shop(shop)
conn
|> send_resp(200, "success")
end
end
