Introduction

Medusa is an open source headless commerce platform that allows you to create your own store in a matter of minutes. Part of what makes Medusa a good choice for your ecommerce store is its extensibility. Now, it is also possible to create multi-vendor marketplaces using Medusa.

:point_right: __And here is why I've done that package for medusa__

> "I've been looking for an e-commerce solution that could provide me with some core features while being fully customisable... After some research, where I found that none of the present solutions could provide what I needed, I chose Medusa as it provided me with many of the needed features while being easy to extend. I ended up loving the community atmosphere, especially the proximity with the team, and have been helping those in the community looking for a similar fully-customisable solution by sharing a part of my private project. This is how the medusa-extender was born." — Adrien de Peretti


Getting started :rocket:

Depending on your situation, pick the right getting started section.

Existing medusa project

In that case, you must already have scaffold a new medusa store project. If that's not the case you can follow the tutorial here.

Run the following command in your terminal

``bash
npm install medusa-extender
./node_modules/.bin/medex init
`

That's it, you are now ready to run your server :rocket:

Note: The default port is 9000, if you want to run the server on a custom port update medusa-config.js as follows:

`
module.exports = {
/ ... /
serverConfig:{
port:
}
/ ... /
};
`

From server starter

You can directly clone the starters/server to get started quickly.

First, update your medusa-config.js accordingly to your needs.

Then, follow the next command to be ready in minutes

`bash
npx degit github:adrien2p/medusa-extender/starters/server#main server
cd server
npm i
npm run build
npm run start
`

That's it, your server is now up and running :rocket:

![-----------------------------------------------------](#cli-medex)

CLI medex

To install the cli globally instead of using the local one, you can run the
following command

`bash
npm i -g medusa-extender
`

To make things easier for you, the project comes with a CLI that allow
you to generate any component with minimum code implementation and also
to be able to run the migrations and show the list of applied and to be applied migrations.

Application Architecture

Using this package help you organise your code in a module approach.
That means that you can go for a modular architecture and decoupled
your code depending on your domains.

Here is the proposed folder structure that you can add to your medusa project

`text
.
├── ...
├── src # Here are located all the files that make your application
│ ├── modules # Where you can put all your modules using the medusa-extender
| ├── Module1
| ├── module1.entity.ts
| ├── module1.migration.ts
| ├── module1.service.ts
| ├── module1.repository.ts
| ├── module1.middleware.ts
| ├── module1.module.ts # This is where the above components are referenced
| ├── ...
| ├── Module2
| ├── ...
| ├── Module3
| ├── ...
