Solidus India

Installation

Add solidus_india to your Gemfile:

gem 'solidus_india'

Bundle your dependencies and run the installation generator:

bin/rails generate solidus_india:install

Go to config/initializers/spree.rb and change the following line

# Default currency for new sites
  config.currency = "USD"

to

# Default currency for new sites
  config.currency = "INR"

This will allow you to use all the INR specific products, taxes and shipping methods added by the seeds.

Usage

This extension adds seeds and required functionality to modify the base Solidus Store into an ecommerce store in the indian context.

The base Solidus store is more USA and Europe friendly with products, prices, shipping and taxes based on those regions. For newcomers to Solidus from a region other than the USA and Europe, it becomes quite difficult to start a new project on Solidus.

As soon as you finish the installation, you can start the server and find that the base Solidus Store now works as an Indian ecommerce store with all the prices, taxes and shipping methods in INR and working for an indian context.

I would also recommend using the solidus_razorpay extension to allow your store to make UPI payments with the help of the Razorpay payment integration.

Development

Testing the extension

First bundle your dependencies, then run bin/rake. bin/rake will default to building the dummy app if it does not exist, then it will run specs. The dummy app can be regenerated by using bin/rake extension:test_app.

bin/rake

To run Rubocop static code analysis run

bundle exec rubocop

When testing your application's integration with this extension you may use its factories. Simply add this require statement to your spec/spec_helper.rb:

require 'solidus_india/testing_support/factories'

Or, if you are using FactoryBot.definition_file_paths, you can load Solidus core factories along with this extension's factories using this statement:

SolidusDevSupport::TestingSupport::Factories.load_for(SolidusIndia::Engine)

Running the sandbox

To run this extension in a sandboxed Solidus application, you can run bin/sandbox. The path for the sandbox app is ./sandbox and bin/rails will forward any Rails commands to sandbox/bin/rails.

Here's an example:

$ bin/rails server
=> Booting Puma
=> Rails 6.0.2.1 application starting in development
* Listening on tcp://127.0.0.1:3000
Use Ctrl-C to stop
