v2.0.0
v2.0.0
This is our first release of Reaction Platform.
Reaction is API-first, real-time commerce engine built using Node.js, React, and GraphQL. It’s the second major release of our open source commerce software.
This release is coordinated with Reaction, our Example Storefront (previously Storefront Starter Kit) and reaction-hydra.
Reaction v2.0.0 is built as a truly headless commerce platform that decouples the Reaction backend services from the frontend. We’ve decoupled the storefront application from the API. Reaction platform now consists of the reaction project, which is now primarily our GraphQL API, along with our Example Storefront, which integrates with the Reaction application via GraphQL API to provide a customer-facing storefront.
New documentation
See this page for a non-comprehensive list of new and updated docs.
Some highlights:
- A Storefront UI Development guide answering "How do I build a storefront for Reaction or adapt my storefront to get its data from Reaction, without starting from an example app"
- Helpful info about GraphQL Resolvers and extending GraphQL to add a field
- A guide for “How To Extend the Product Schema”
OS notes
Support for Windows.
[reaction-platform](https://github.com/reactioncommerce/reaction-platform) is not compatible with Windows and has not been fully tested on Windows at this time.
MacOS and Linux are supported.
Reaction will support development in a dockerized environment and will focus on tooling and documentation for installation and configuration on the macOS and Linux OSes.
We've adopted the DCO
We've adopted the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) in lieu of a Contributor License Agreement for all contributions to Reaction Commerce open source projects. We request that contributors agree to the terms of the DCO and indicate that agreement by signing all commits made to Reaction Commerce projects by adding a line with your name and email address to every Git commit message contributed:
Signed-off-by: Jane Doe <[email protected]>
You can sign your commit automatically with Git by using git commit -s if you have your user.name and user.email set as part of your Git configuration.
We ask that you use your real name (please no anonymous contributions or pseudonyms). By signing your commit you are certifying that you have the right have the right to submit it under the open source license used by that particular Reaction Commerce project. You must use your real name (no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions are allowed.)
We use the Probot DCO GitHub app to check for DCO signoffs of every commit. If you forget to sign your commits, the DCO bot will remind you and give you detailed instructions for how to amend your commits to add a signature.
We're following in the footsteps of several other open source projects in adopting the DCO such as Chef, Docker, and GitLab
