This is a Shopify app using the Remix framework to generate random product and delete all products after fetching every products.
Rather than cloning this repo, you can use your preferred package manager and the Shopify CLI with these steps.
Visit the shopify.dev
documentation for more details on the Remix app package.
- You must download and install Node.js if you don't already have it.
- You must create a Shopify partner account if you don’t have one.
- You must create a store for testing if you don't have one, either a development store or a Shopify Plus sandbox store.

Press P to open the URL to your app. Once you click install, you can start development.
Local development is powered by the Shopify CLI. It logs into your partners account, connects to an app, provides environment variables, updates remote config, creates a tunnel and provides commands to generate extensions.
This template uses Prisma to store session data, by default using an SQLite database.
The database is defined as a Prisma schema in prisma/schema.prisma
.
This use of SQLite works in production if your app runs as a single instance. The database that works best for you depends on the data your app needs and how it is queried. You can run your database of choice on a server yourself or host it with a SaaS company. Here’s a short list of databases providers that provide a free tier to get started:
Database | Type | Hosters |
---|---|---|
MySQL | SQL | Digital Ocean, Planet Scale, Amazon Aurora, Google Cloud SQL |
PostgreSQL | SQL | Digital Ocean, Amazon Aurora, Google Cloud SQL |
Redis | Key-value | Digital Ocean, Amazon MemoryDB |
MongoDB | NoSQL / Document | Digital Ocean, MongoDB Atlas |
To use one of these, you can use a different datasource provider in your schema.prisma
file, or a different SessionStorage adapter package.
Remix handles building the app for you, by running the command below with the package manager of your choice:
Using yarn:
yarn build
Using npm:
npm run build
Using pnpm:
pnpm run build
By default the graphql.vscode-graphql extension for VS Code will assume that GraphQL queries or mutations are for the Shopify Admin API. This is a sensible default, but it may not be true if:
- You use another Shopify API such as the storefront API.
- You use a third party GraphQL API.
in this situation, please update the .graphqlrc.js config.
