The NodeJS backend is based on this template, while the PHP backend is based on this template.

Require and setup laravel-shopify package to get me started really quickly with Shopify Auth and more.

Shopify provides a number of webhooks that we can subscribe to at the shop-level. One of them is the app/uninstalled webhook, which will allow us to receive a request any time a merchant uninstalls the Shopify app from their shop. The shopify_app gem provides a lot of the webhook endpoint setup behind the scenes, the details of which are outside the scope of this article but you can learn more here if you’d like. What is relevant is that we can configure webhooks and add a background job that is named based on the webhook topic, which will automatically be invoked when the webhook is received.

Building a Shopify App with anything outside React or Rails can be daunting; you’re on your own for the most part. Since I figured it out with my crew using VueJs: we’ve decided to Open Source the template.
