adastra-plugin

Adastra ✨ plugin is package that aims to integrate Vite as seamlessly as possible with Shopify themes to optimize your theme development experience.

Requirements

Please make sure you have Node.js >=16 and NPM are installed before running Vite:

Installation

  1. Run the following command to initialize a Node project inside the root of your theme's directory:
npm init -y
  1. Next, install Vite and the Adastra ✨ plugin.
npm install -D vite adastra-plugin

# Using Yarn/PNPM

yarn add --dev vite adastra-plugin
# pnpm add -D vite adastra-plugin

Finally, adjust your package.json by adding the following scripts:

"description": "",
"scripts": {
  - "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
  "dev": "vite",
  "build": "vite build",
  "dev:shopify": "shopify theme dev"
},

Usage

Create a vite.config.{js,ts} file in your theme root directory and add the adastra-plugin. You are free to customize this file based on your needs, check Vite's plugins and config reference for more info.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import adastra from 'adastra-plugin'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    adastra({
      // Root path to your Shopify theme directory (location of snippets, sections, templates, etc.)
      root: './',
      // Frontend source code directory
      sourceDir: 'src',
      // Frontend entry points directory
      entrypointsDir: 'src/entrypoints',
      // The name of the genarated snippet adastra.liquid snippet.
      snippetName: 'adastra'
    })
  ]
})

The Adastra ✨ Vite Plugin does not require you to specify the entrypoints for your theme. By default, it treats JavaScript and CSS files (including preprocessed languages such as TypeScript, JSX, TSX, and Sass) within the src/entrypoints folder in the root of your project as entry points for Vite.

/
└── src/
  └── entrypoints/
    ├── base.scss
    ├── customer.css
    └── theme.js

Your final theme project structure should look like something like this:

/
├── assets
├── config
├── layout
├── locales
├── sections
├── snippets/
├── src/  # Source directory (name can be changed in vite.config.js)
│   └── entrypoints/ # Entrypoints directory (name can be changed in vite.config.js)
│       ├── base.scss
│       ├── customer.css
│       └── theme.js
├── templates
├── vite.config.js
└── package.json

If you use Typescript make sure you setup and tsconfig.json file in the root of the project, check out an example here.

How it works?

Adastra plugin ✨ detects entrypoint files automatically in the entrypoints/ directory. In this case base.scss and customer.css for styles and theme.js for scripts/modules.

So everything you import to these three files will be shipped to the theme assets folder when building for production.

You can create other folders like src/utils/ if you want, or a src/components/ folder for Native/React/Vue/Lit/Preact components. Only the files/modules imported in the entrypoint files will be served by Vite.

Any static assets, like custom fonts, manifest files, .css.liquid or .js.liquid, can be placed inside the assets theme folder, just make sure to add the configuration below to avoid clearing the assets directory when building for production.

// vite.config.js

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import adastra from 'adastra-plugin'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [adastra()],
  build: {
    emptyOutDir: false
  }
})

loading modules and styles to your theme

Adastra Vite Plugin generates an adastra.liquid snippet which includes <script> and <link> tags, and all the liquid logic needed to load your static assets.

With your Vite entry points configured, you only need to reference them with the adastra snippet that you add to the <head> of your theme's layout:

{% liquid
  # Relative to entrypointsDir
  render 'adastra' with 'base.scss'
  render 'adastra' with 'theme.js'

  # Basic liquid code splitting
  if request.page_type contains 'customers/'
    render 'adastra' with 'customers.css'
  endif
%}

During development, the adastra will load your assets from the Vite development server and inject the Vite client to enable Hot Module Replacement. In build mode, the snippet will load your compiled and versioned assets, including any imported CSS, and use the asset_url filter to serve your assets from the Shopify content delivery network (CDN).

Preloading stylesheets

You can pass the preload variable to the adastra snippet to enable the preload parameter of the stylesheet_tag filter. Use it sparingly. For example, consider preloading only render-blocking stylesheets. Learn more.

{% render 'adastra' with 'base.scss', preload: true %}

Import aliases

For convenience, ~/ and @/ are aliased to your src folder, which simplifies imports:

import ProductForm from '@/components/ProductForm.vue'
import Quiz from '@/components/Quiz.jsx'
import '@/styles/utils.css'

Advanced Customization

Out of the box, the Shopify Vite Plugin uses sensible conventions to help you add Vite with zero configuration to existing Shopify themes; however, sometimes you may need to customize the Plugin's behavior.

Every configuration option is described in the Configuration Reference.

Special Thanks

This plugin was inspired by Shopify Vite Plugin made by the amazing team at Barrel.
