Spree is a complete open source e-commerce solution built with Ruby on Rails. It was originally developed by Sean Schofield and is now maintained by Spark Solutions. We're open to contributions and accepting new Core Team members.

Spree consists of several different gems, each of which are maintained in a single repository and documented in a single set of online documentation.

• spree_api (new REST API v2 and legacy REST API v1, GraphQL support coming soon) - we also have an official API v2 JavaScript / TypeScript SDK
• spree_frontend (default Rails customer frontend)
• spree_backend (Admin Panel)
• spree_cmd (Command-line tools)
• spree_core (Models, Services & Mailers, the basic components of Spree that it can't run without)
• spree_sample (Sample data)

You don't need to install all of the components. Only the Core is mandatory.

Demo

If you want to run the demo on your local machine, you can use our docker image. It will download and run sample Spree application on http://localhost:3000

docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 spreecommerce/spree:3.6.4

Admin Panel credentials - login: [email protected] / password: spree123

Getting Started

Add Spree gems to your Gemfile

Rails 6.0

gem 'spree', '~> 4.0'
gem 'spree_auth_devise', '~> 4.0'
gem 'spree_gateway', '~> 3.6'

Rails 5.2

gem 'spree', '~> 3.7.0'
gem 'spree_auth_devise', '~> 3.5'
gem 'spree_gateway', '~> 3.4'

Rails 5.1

gem 'spree', '~> 3.5.0'
gem 'spree_auth_devise', '~> 3.5'
gem 'spree_gateway', '~> 3.4'

Rails 5.0

gem 'spree', '~> 3.2.7'
gem 'spree_auth_devise', '~> 3.5'
gem 'spree_gateway', '~> 3.4'

Run bundle install

Use the install generators to set up Spree

rails g spree:install --user_class=Spree::User
rails g spree:auth:install
rails g spree_gateway:install

Installation options

Alternatively, if you want to use the bleeding edge version of Spree, add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'spree', github: 'spree/spree'
gem 'spree_auth_devise', github: 'spree/spree_auth_devise'
gem 'spree_gateway', github: 'spree/spree_gateway'

Note: The master branch is not guaranteed to ever be in a fully functioning state. It is unwise to use this branch in a production system you care deeply about.

By default, the installation generator (rails g spree:install) will run migrations as well as adding seed and sample data and will copy frontend views for easy customization (if spree_frontend available). This can be disabled using

rails g spree:install --migrate=false --sample=false --seed=false --copy_views=false

You can always perform any of these steps later by using these commands.

bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rake db:seed
bundle exec rake spree_sample:load

Browse Store

http://localhost:3000

Browse Admin Interface

http://localhost:3000/admin

If you have spree_auth_devise installed, you can generate a new admin user by running rake spree_auth:admin:create.

Performance

You may notice that your Spree store runs slowly in development environment. This can be because in development each asset (css and javascript) is loaded separately. You can disable it by adding the following line to config/environments/development.rb.

config.assets.debug = false

Developing Spree

Spree is meant to be run within the context of Rails application and the source code is essentially a collection of gems. You can easily create a sandbox application inside of your cloned source directory for testing purposes.

Clone the Git repo

git clone git://github.com/spree/spree.git
cd spree

Install the gem dependencies

bundle install

Sandbox

Create a sandbox Rails application for testing purposes which automatically performs all necessary database setup

bundle exec rake sandbox

Start the server

cd sandbox
rails server

Running Tests

We use CircleCI to run the tests for Spree.

You can see the build statuses at https://circleci.com/gh/spree/spree.

---

Each gem contains its own series of tests, and for each directory, you need to do a quick one-time creation of a test application and then you can use it to run the tests. For example, to run the tests for the core project.

cd core
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=../Gemfile bundle exec rake test_app
bundle exec rspec spec

If you would like to run specs against a particular database you may specify the dummy app's database, which defaults to sqlite3.

DB=postgres bundle exec rake test_app

If you want to run specs for only a single spec file

bundle exec rspec spec/models/spree/state_spec.rb

If you want to run a particular line of spec

bundle exec rspec spec/models/spree/state_spec.rb:7

You can also enable fail fast in order to stop tests at the first failure

FAIL_FAST=true bundle exec rspec spec/models/state_spec.rb

If you want to run the simplecov code coverage report

COVERAGE=true bundle exec rspec spec

If you're working on multiple facets of Spree to test, please ensure that you have a postgres user:

createuser -s -r postgres

And also ensure that you have ChromeDriver installed as well. Please follow this instruction to install it.

To execute all the tests, you may want to run this command at the root of the Spree project to generate test applications and run specs for all the facets:

bash build.sh
