gatsby-starter-medusa VS Strapi

gatsby new medusa-gatsby https://github.com/medusajs/gatsby-starter-medusa

This tutorial uses the Gatsby starter to test the wishlist functionality added to the Medusa server. However, you can still follow along using a different storefront framework.

Last month, our team at Medusa built a new advanced Next.js storefront that can be used with a Medusa server. If interested in other Medusa starters, feel free to check out Medusa.Express or our Gatsby starter.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add live-chat functionality to your ecommerce store using Medusa, Tidio live chat, and Gatsby Storefront.

Medusa provides two starter storefronts, one built using Next.js and one using Gatsby. You can also build your own storefront by interacting with the REST APIs.

The difficult part is for the modification of store frontend. I use Medusa Gatsby Starter to my store frontend. However, there are many incompatible with my above modification of backend.

git clone https://github.com/medusajs/gatsby-starter-medusa.git storefront

This creates a Gatsby website using the already-existing Medusa Gatsby starter.

It gives you full flexibility to build any type of frontend(s) you may prefer - Medusa has starters in Next.js or Gatsby to set up a high-performing storefront out-of-the-box so you have a good starting point before starting to customize it to your needs. You can check out a demo of the starer here.

GatsbyJS (much more feature-rich V2 coming soon)

Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.

https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

As of April 2024, Strapi's GitHub repository has garnered 59.7k stars and 7.5k forks, showcasing its widespread adoption. The project has also secured a substantial $45+ million in funding, cementing its position as a prominent player in the headless CMS space.

const pages = await client.GET("/pages", { params: { query: { filters: { // @ts-ignore - openapi generated from strapi results in Record // https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/19644 path: { $eq: path, }, }, // @ts-ignore populate: { blocks: { populate: "*" }, }, }, }, });

On a side note. Where do all these endpoints come from? Strapi is open source. We can read the source code. All these endpoint come from the Users and permissions plugin. So, if we go to Strapi on github and browse around the files a bit eventually you will find the auth.js file that contains all of the routes. You can also find the Strapi controllers in there if you're interested.
