v2.0.0
v2.0.0
Reaction v2.0.0—an 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 Platform and is designed to work with the Reaction 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 this Example Storefront, which connects with the Reaction application via GraphQL to provide a customer-facing storefront. The API is provided by the Reaction project, which is now primarily our GraphQL API. The legacy integrated Meteor storefront is no longer part of the Reaction project.
Notable changes
This Example Storefront is brand new for the 2.0 version of Reaction. Check out previous release notes from this project for details and associated issues and PRs.
See the release notes for the Reaction project for more information about our 2.0 release.
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.
