Installation

1. Add this extension to your Gemfile with this line:

   gem 'spree_multi_vendor'

2. Install the gem using Bundler:

   bundle install

3. Copy & run migrations

   bundle exec rails g spree_multi_vendor:install

4. Restart your server

   If your server was running, restart it so that it can find the assets properly.

5. Optionally you can also create sample Vendor by running:

   bundle exec rake spree_multi_vendor:sample:create

Upgrading

1. Fetch new database migrations:

   bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations FROM=spree_multi_vendor

2. Run migrations

   bundle exec rails db:migrate

Configuration

To change which models should be vendorized, in your Spree initializer (config/initializers/spree.rb) add:

SpreeMultiVendor::Config[:vendorized_models] = %w[product variant stock_location shipping_method other_model]

This will lookup for Spree::OtherModel class. To add vendor_id column to that model run:

bundle exec rails g migration AddVendorToSpreeOtherModels vendor:references

API endpoints

Spree Multi Vendor adds new API v2 endpoints:

1. GET Display Vendor information endpoint

   /api/v2/storefront/vendors/<vendor_slug>
   

   eg. /api/v2/storefront/vendors/test-vendor

   you can also include Vendor image and/or Products in that call:

   /api/v2/storefront/vendors/test-vendor?include=image,products

   /api/v2/storefront/vendors

   /api/v2/storefront/cart?include=vendors,vendor_totals
   

Email previews

Spree offers emails preview generator for development purposes. To generate them, use command:

bundle exec rails g spree_multi_vendor:mailers_preview

After that, start rails server locally and go to: localhost:3000/rails/mailers

(it requires seeded development database in order to work properly)

bundle
bundle exec rake
