shopify_app VS Composer

Then open the Gemfile and add Shopify app gem into it

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.

Delving into PHP frameworks like Laravel or Symfony is like building a skyscraper, with Composer acting as your "construction foreman," guiding you step by step to ensure your code is robust and awe-inspiring. This stage involves getting familiar with popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc., and utilizing the functionalities provided by these frameworks to rapidly develop efficient, maintainable web applications. Tools to consider: Laravel, Composer.

In our example application we will manage dependencies via Composer.

Our project template is equipped with Composer and an autoload class pre-installed. This inclusion in the repository streamlines the setup process, particularly for this access-token course. Composer, a dependency manager for PHP, simplifies the integration of external libraries and ensures efficient autoloading of classes. It plays a pivotal role in managing project dependencies, enabling developers to focus more on implementation rather than manual library management. If you're unfamiliar with Composer or need guidance on its installation, refer to the following link for detailed instructions: [https://getcomposer.org/] and this article for more details on the setup of the packages in this project.

On you Jenkins server, install PHP, its dependencies and Composer tool (Feel free to do this manually at first, then update your Ansible accordingly later)

Composer is a PHP package manager and it will allow us to use many out-of-the-box packages and features such as HTTP requests, logging, and templates and database management. I use it to develop large, complex applications.
