Feeling a bit discouraged, we did what any good engineering team would do and hit the web looking for an example of someone else who had implemented this using a modern Rails approach. Enter ✨ shopify-hotwire-sample ✨. This repository was synonymous with the sample app provided as a supplement to the Turbolinks-specific tutorial but used Turbo instead. The code actually ended up being a bit more comprehensive than what we needed but it served as an extremely helpful guide in getting session token auth working properly. Given how complex this process was, I want to take you through the process step-by-step to illustrate how we implemented the feature using a combination of the tutorials and sample apps mentioned earlier in the article.
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.
Recently we built an embedded Shopify application for one of our clients. The UI was relatively straightforward, and in an effort to keep the code simple we elected to create a server-side rendered (SSR) Rails app and use Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus, specifically) as needed for the front end.
