Combine Medusa's modules for your commerce backend with the newest Next.js 14 features for a performant storefront.

This boilerplate is a monorepo consisting of snapshot of a medusajs backend and storefront app created with npx create-medusa-app@latest February 2024. Modified to be plug n' play deployable on railway.app!

Please change the value of environtment variables: COOCKIE_SECRET and JWT_SECRET.

• Install dependencies yarn
• Rename .env.template -> .env
• To connect to your online database, from local; copy the DATABASE_URL value that have been auto generated on railway, and add to your .env

• postgres database (will be automatically generated if using railway template)
• redis (will be automatically generated if using railway template)

• cloudinary: I highly recommend using a proper media service.
  1. Sign up a free account with cloudinary choose "developer API calls" type of user.
  2. Add your cloud_name, api_key & api_secret to .env.local this will eneable Cloudinary as a file service on local dev environment
  3. Configure the same environment variables in your railway dashboard to enable cloudinary in production.
  4. If the steps above was confusin, visit https://medusajs.com/plugins/medusa-file-cloudinary/ for more setup details.

cd medusajs-backend/ yarn build will compile app. yarn dev will start local admin dashboard app to manage products and orders etc. yarn start will start the backend server, needed for the storefront

intall dependencies yarn Rename .env.local.template -> .env.local

• running backend npm run start - needed to fetch products data and more, to build nextjs pages.

cd medusajs-storefront/ yarn wait will keep calling backend endpoint until a backend responds. yarn build will build the nextjs app - remember to start backend app prior to running this command. yarn start will serve the frontend web shop.
