nopCommerce VS Spree Commerce

🔴 nopCommerce: ASP.NET Core eCommerce software. nopCommerce is a free and open-source shopping cart.

nopCommerce’s GitHub statistics:

An eCommerce website is a very complicated endeavor. Take a look at this open source eCommerce solution to see just how complicated it is.

There are two ways to deploy the app on Azure. I don't find nopCommerce in the Azure app gallery as of now though. So I have tried FTP deployment and app publishing from Visual Studio. The best way is to publish it from Visual Studio. FTP deployment takes too long to transfer files to Azure. That may be due to the app service plan, which has basic hardware performance. But the file transfer is quicker with the Visual Studio deployment. I can either clone the app from nopCommerce's GitHub site or download it from releases to do FTP deployment. To publish from Visual Studio, I need to download publish profile from Azure App Service. In Visual Studio, when you publish the app, you can just import the publish profile that you downloaded from Azure app service.

> Can you point me to a codebase that does not use comments, as a model of how that looks in practice?

Once we actively encourage comments, this is what we get. It was totally unnecessary -

https://github.com/nopSolutions/nopCommerce/blob/develop/src...

I welcome this type of comments which state the obvious and goes beyond what the code in front of you can state -

"// If every heap's gen2 or gen3 size is less than this threshold we will do a blocking GC."

If you want to use with the latest .NetCore c# code you could look at https://www.nopcommerce.com which is a great open source developers platform

A good system to study is Spree https://github.com/spree/spree. It has an inventory and billing system and supports different adjustments and sale configurations. If you don't want to use it wholesale it's a solid Rails application that does most of what you want so you can use it as solid inspiration.

Spree Commerce: https://spreecommerce.org/

Maybe Spree?

I'd say Solidus and Spree are you best options rather than trying to roll out you own ecommerce solution.

When I was working on that company, that mobile ordering app, Counterless, I looked a lot at codebases like Spree, the Spree Commerce codebase. And that's how I learned a lot about how do you model an order with line items and things like that? I saw some amazing things that helped me develop an understanding and save a ton of time by looking at oh, they have a state machine. What are the ways that an order transitions through all these different states as it gets processed and charged? And how do you track all of those things?
